Interesting Idea! I like that the fish can get a boost for the fight by collecting worms! The controls were good, and the graphics were nice! Nice combination of a fishing and fighting game!

nice idea, but i think its a little too easy for the fish to get caught.

Was a bit tough playing against my self but I'm proud to say the fish won the battle ultimately. I cracked up when the battle scene began, I wasn't expecting it at all :laughing:

Difficult to play in the browser (Firefox), when pressing alt the Menu bar toggles shifting the screen around. Really interesting concept and art though!

@PackNSlash yes I know you are right, unfortunately i have noticed it to late. luckily there are native versions for all platforms so, just download them and play them on your machine! :)

The game was kinda cool. I just wasn't able to fully enjoy it because I didn't have anyone to play with. A single player mode would have been nice.

@n00b you are probably right, but there was no time for coding a fish or fisher AI :)

Interesting concept, dragged someone over so I could play it legitimately.
