Yesterday was another good day with lots of progress! I changed my theme slightly (different word bank) so the game is now officially called "Fishing For Compliments" :D

Today I'm going to try to get done before submission ends:

• fix bug where fish sometimes swims backwards if you spell a word incorrectly
• add menus
• add some sound effects

If I have time:

• add an end state (currently you can only fish infinitely)
• add lower/raise line mechanic, and only hook fish on the red part

Feeling good about my progress! I have:

• fishies spawning on a timer
• new fish type spawns when you hit a certain number of fish caught
• basic typing mechanism implemented
• new word shown when a fish is "caught"
• word is destroyed when you finish typing it correctly

Next goals

• destroy word if player types the next letter incorrectly
• show/hide typing UI when fish is hooked/word is typed
• implement mechanic to hook fish

I'm late to starting my fishfest game, but I finally have a pretty solid idea for what I'm doing. Here's a screenshot of my very basic interface so far.

My goal for today is to finish my design doc as there's a few functionality and code questions I need to answer, and then hopefully get the fish movement working.
