Andhrimnir
Andhrimnir, the cook of the gods, is running out of fish for the great feast of the warriors of Valhalla!
He tasks Olaf the fisherman and Gudrun the Valkyrie to catch the fish he needs so the eternal feast can keep going.
Use the arrow keys to make your fishing line move up and down, control the fish as it tries to escape the hook and cut it to pieces once it's on your boat!
Contains a little bit of blood and violence against fish.
Made for Mini Jame Gam #11 as a team with my brother (art and sound design by him, programming and game design by me)

great
The art style and theming here is great!
Like the game and concept. A few gripes though. In full screen you sometimes cannot see the directional arrow because it's hidden behind the order. And it seems to me the purple fishes are virtually impossible to control.
I agree, I should have taken the time to make sure the arrows are always fully visible.
The purple fish are very hard to catch, but once you get their move pattern it's a piece of cake :)
Ok, fair enough, I was judging waaaay too soon. They are pretty easy at some point indeed. However, practicing on the speed of pressing the arrows is even harder.
Yup that's true, probably gonna add some mechanic to compensate, like adding some extra time to the timer when you press the right key
I appreciate that you take the time to try it again :)
Cool art style
