Humaning

This is not fishing.  This is humaning.  Collect the ideal lures to capture some humans so that you can fill up your Vivariums.  Be careful not every type of human will like the lures you offer.

How To Play

Game Play Video

This game goes up.  We've all played the fishing game that goes down but this one goes up.  Once you see the human you would like to reel in click on them to cast your lure.  If the human likes it you can reel them in by left clicking on the mouse again.  If you just want to pull back your lure and you don't have a human snagged simply right click on the mouse.  Don't forget to go by the vivariums and add your new human to your collection!

Thank You

Thank you to everyone involved in this game jam!  For the organizers, the reviewers, discord moderators, and everyone that I don't even know to name.  This is a massive undertaking and you all do a wonderful job putting this together.  Thank you for your effort to provide an opportunity for this community to gather around new challenges.

But most of all thank you to everyone in this community!  The thoughtful feedback and helpful spirit that dominates the indie world is inspiring to participate in.  I'm not sure I'll ever find a way to truly give back anything worthy but I'm sure gonna try!

Solo Developer

I started my first game development project in 2019.   At the time all the development experience I had was a few fancy macros in Excel and Word.  After playing Stardew Valley I got the crazy idea that I could make a video game.   Since then I have used my game development hobby to expand my skills to be a full time software engineering team lead.  Game development opened a door to a new life for me.  I plan to be a 90 year old developer building something fun until my hands stop working.  Although maybe by then it won't be done by hand!
