Fish Fest

Fish Fest is an idle clicker game that features key mechanics common to most modern clickers, with a unique fishing theme.

I wanted to introduce an additional mechanic, the chance to catch a fish whilst clicking, that encourages player engagement and interaction, preventing players from becoming too reliant on the passive income, which can lead to decreased interest. 

This was a solo project that required the two core game loops to interact with each other, with a strong focus on UI/UX elements to enhance the player experience.

Objective:

Click anywhere within the interactive scene to generate XP.

Spend XP to purchase upgrades that increase XP gain and automatons that generate passive income.

Can you catch the elusive "Goldie"...?

Features:

• Colourful scenic environment
• Relaxing music blending bird song with a piano melody
• Chance to catch a fish while clicking
• Tackle Shop
• Collection Log
• Gameplay Statistics
• Fish biographies found in the collection log provide an educational benefit
• Player engagement loop
• Passive income loop

Made using Unity 2022.3.26f1.
