Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it...

How? Do I post a thread asking how much people would pay for my games?

Look for strange icons in the messages of the forums. From there you can fish for it.

Finally found one, a shark. I tried baiting it with brussel sprouts, but it ignored the bait. It did go for sardines though.

The lobster didn't want brussel sprouts either :)

But it did want herring.

C'mon, take the brussel sprouts!

I extended the fishing mini-game to last beyond the 1st... perhaps for the whole month of April.

Please note that you can turn it off by clicking "April Fools [on]" in the nav menu (or footer).

Probably spent about an hour trying to find a 🐋 last night. Still searching. Thanks for always stealing my time every year with these silly games bill.

I've said it ever since, but I miss that wonderful little RPG April Fools game that was on here a few years back. That one was probably my favorite.

Clever April fools, fun. Took me a bit to realize what was up and how to play. Then I spent, like, 40 minutes or something reading/scrolling through posts to find all the creatures. Is it random what food will work as bait for a specific critter?

Ha! Nice. I tried the brussel sprouts twice, but they didn't want it.

So far they mostly make sense.

no


The appearance of the catch-able creatures in posts is random, though more likely as the day goes by and if a post has more text (and less markup).

I think making these silly games satisfies my boyhood dream of being a game developer. smile

Thanks for playing everyone.

Release this on Switch and sell it for $2 and you could make like a few thousand dollars...

Haha this has been fun! When I found the blue whale, anytime I'd click it, it would enlarge but never go to the next screen. Second time was just now in bills last post, but clicking did nothing. I'm back on the hunt!

Ha, and just like that, after I left this topic, found another one and hit 100%.

Well done as always Bill!

I assume site impressions was up during this war game, it was fun. If I was bill I'd release it as part of a calendar of events every few months and turn ads on for everyone to make additional ad revenue to cover the server cost for rhe traffic. Ad blockers would still work of course.

There is one creature that will only eat Brussels sprouts.

Where in the world is that last creature? I've spent 4 days looking for it.

Edit: it was the 🐋. I kept on finding it but not clicking on it because I thought I had already caught it. 🦈 & 🐬 looked similar. Guess I was getting mixed up with those.

On a humorous note, I caught the 🐋 with seaweed. :)

Don't worry, I sent the 🐋 free. Even gave him several bags of nori to take home.

Thanks for putting this game together @bill. That was some nice April Fool's fun.
