Get Hooked on this Fishing Adventure… Where The Fish Fight Back!

Step into the boots of a legendary fisherman returning from a shameful retirement. Travel the coastline chasing after exotic fish and regaining your forgotten skills. But beware – deadly catches are lurking everywhere…

Take down a variety of comical bosses in fast-paced, high-intensity fights! Cast your fishing line like a grappling hook to sling yourself around stages, while also using your rod to smack sea monsters into submission!

The One That Got Away…

Long ago, The Big One got away and forced you into an early retirement. But now, you finally have the chance to redeem your reputation following recent sightings of the mythical monster! Follow the trail of rumors while taking down other terrible creatures that have been terrorizing the coast, including Mini Minnow, Big Bass, Crude Crab, and Swordmaster Swordfish

No Laughing Matter.

Don’t let their wacky appearance fool you: each boss fight will push you to your limits and provide fresh challenges that force you to make the most of the fishing rod you wield. You’ll learn to master various movement techniques and boss patterns while constantly switching up strategies and adapting on the fly! As you improve, chase high scores as you replay past fights and challenge yourself with Super-Boss versions of fights! A suite of accessibility options ensures that you can play by your own rules and rise to any challenge.

Gotta Fish ‘Em All!

Chase after dozens and dozens of unique fish (and secret easter eggs) in each location! With unique rarities and difficulties, filling up your Fishdex is no easy task…

v1.0.4 Update

Weve been spending a lot of time combing through more nuanced balancing feedback; whether it is through watching people play on Youtube & Twitch, from our reviews, discussions, or people talking to us directly, we wanted to smooth out some of the rough edges people have encountered!

Changelog

Bosses

  • Fixed issue causing Mini Minnow to break out of its fatigued state during tutorial dialogue.

    [/*]
  • Adjusted the boss timer feature to pause during dialogue.

    [/*]
  • Fixed issue causing the last frame of the Bubble Popping animation to sometimes be present for the Minnow Bosses during their fatigued state.

    [/*]
  • Added the dust particle effect to the tail hit of the Bass Bosses\' Jet Stream Attack.

    [/*]
  • Raised the SFX volume of Bigger Bass\'s Lunge Chomp attack to bring it more in line with the boss\'s other attacks.

    [/*]
  • Adjusted Sword-Saint Swordfish\'s Jump Spin attack hitbox to properly reflect the animation. This caused the hitbox to become active slightly too early.

    [/*]
  • Fixed issue causing Sword-Saint Swordfish\'s Horizontal Spin attack to have extra hitboxes above the tornado.

    [/*]
  • Replaced the arrow that denotes when the Goldfish Bosses are off screen with the correct arrow to match other bosses.

    [/*]
  • Adjusted the hitbox on the base Goldfish Bosss Jump Flop attack to reduce how long it lingers.

    [/*]
  • Fixed issue causing the Goldfish Bosses to sometimes sink into the ground while not in their final phase.

    [/*]
  • Adjusted the hitbox on both the Goldfish Bosses Bowl Smack attack to reduce how long it lingers.

    [/*]
  • Fixed an issue causing the base Goldfish Boss to use the superboss variant\'s hitbox data for its Lock On Spiral attack, causing it to linger significantly longer than it should have.

    [/*]
  • Fixed issue that caused the Goldfish Bosses to occasionally be underground while fatigued in their final phase.

    [/*]
  • Decreased the health of each superboss by 7%.

    [/*]

Levels

  • Fixed issue that caused the bottom slanted platform of the ship in the Shipwreck level to have its collision extend past where it visually ended at the leftmost side of the level, allowing players to visually float in the air.

    [/*]

\n

Game/Saving

  • Settings now load when the game is booted instead of when loading a save file. This fixes an issue where a save file would need to be loaded to reflect changes to audio volume settings.

    [/*]

Fishing

  • Fixed an issue where fish streaks 6-10 did not increase the rates of 5-star fish as intended. This should be a slight improvement to fish star ratings during these fish streaks.

    [/*]
  • If the player has not registered the Megalodon Pup upon defeating The One That Got Away, its appearance weight is increased until it is registered.

    [/*]
  • After defeating The One That Got Away, a new rerolling formula is used for catching fish that increases the odds of encountering higher star fish, especially from fish streaks 9 and greater.

    [/*]

Accessibility

  • Fixed a typo with the word Accessibility.

    [/*]
