Made for Low Rez Jam, the entire game runs at a micro 64x64 resolution—small in size, big in cozy vibes.


How To Play
The game is controlled entirely with the mouse

1. Hold Left Mouse to start casting - the bar at the bottom will show your cast strength. Release Left Mouse to cast out the line.
2. Wait for those fish... and click Left Mouse when you get a bite!
3. You are now reeling in your catch. The red meter at the screen top displays the tension of your line - if it gets too high your line will snap. The green meter at the bottom will show the catch's energy level - if this reaches the max, the fish will get away. 
4. You should see the fish direction display on the left of the screen. This tells you which way the fish is swimming, and which way you are pulling the rod. Simply move the mouse to move your rod and you should see the arrow update. Holding Left mouse will reel in the line, and releasing it will stop reeling. Reel in the line while pulling in the opposite direction of the fish to empty their energy meter and reel in your catch!
5. That's it! Try casting and reeling a bit in the practice mode to get the hang of it before you attempt the tournament!

Sadly the cursors lock kinda spoils the fun a bit, not sure if it is happening in every browser, but FF doesn’t lock it at all, or locks and releases as you can move the cursor out of the window easily, which stops the game from receiving “input”. The minigame is neat, I just kinda wish for a way to “try to catch” certain types of fishes.

Graphically the game look amazing, IMO that carries the experience by a lot. Music is sadly way too loud at normal sound levels, please double check that next time!

Otherwise cool little fishing game!
