Description


Welcome to the strange seaside town of Featherston, where fish are falling from the sky. You play as a hungry penguin who ate the town's only fishing rod, and now must use it to support their rapid growth. Try to collect all the fish while surviving to get a new high score in this arcade fishing mashup inspired by Bird & Beans. 

Features

  • Two play modes: Classic and Advanced
  • Optional but intuitive crank controls
  • 16 unique fish to catch
  • High score tracking 
  • 30 FPS on device (most of the time)

Gameplay tips

  • Classic mode: Use your fishing rod tongue to catch fish early for more points! Use the A button or crank to cast the line.
    • A button controls require better timing but are quicker to use
    • Crank controls are more precise but can be slower to use
      • Rotate the crank clockwise (forward) to cast from the vertical position.
      • Each time the crank is reset to the vertical position, the line can be cast again.
  • Advanced mode: control a vacuum tank and suck in multiple fish at once for more points. You have six uses before your battery needs to charge, which happens as you move or score 3+ combos.
    • Use the crank to aim and the up button to suck.
    • Alternatively, dock the crank and use or up to use the vacuum at a fixed 45 degree angle.
  • Not all fish require skillful play to catch! You always have the chance to see a rare fish appear at a lower score threshold than normal.
