fishing: into the abyss by baconsenpaii
“Beware that, when fishing for squids, you yourself do not become a squid... for when you fish long into the abyss. The abyss fishes also into you.”

This is a space, steampunk, fishing, bullet hell, card game. I didn't like the theme, so I took it to the extreme!


There is a boss battle at the end, so be sure to try and win.

Is that a bad thing though? Not really, a solid shmup is a solid shmup. It was a challenge getting to the boss without taking any hits and the boss has a good variety of moves, even if they are rather easy to overcome.
I tried a no-shooting dodge run too, but that was simply impossible. The yellow spammers combined with the blue sharpshooter fish is lethal combo!
The graphics are not going to win any awards and the audio fares only slightly better: the sound effects do their job, the music is repetitive. The absurd idea and visual style do poke through the crude exterior. You need to work on your presentation skills to make them truly shine.
