So for this I thought I'd keep things simple, and I decided to mix an infinite runner with the fishing genre!

Basics

The rules are pretty simple: Dodge obstacles, keep running, and use the mouse to catch and lure in fish. You won't be able to catch the fish unless you get close to them, which requires you to navigate obstacles in a different way.

Tools

I used Aseprite (such a good tool) for the visuals, and Bosca Ceoil and Audacity for the music, Unity for the game engine, and Visual Studio for coding. Some of the sound effects were not by me however, which is why I've opted out of the audio category (That, and I'm not much of a musician anyway!)

Progress

It's not quite as finished as I'd like; I intended to add a tension meter to the fishing to add the possibility of your line snapping, but it'd take time to finesse, and I didn't want to distract the player too much with too many mechanics. I'd have also liked to have refined the platforming mechanics a little more, since they're a little too 'loose' for my tastes, as well as adding a few more obstacles, and fixing a few of the fishing line glitches.

PS. I have no idea if the Linux or MacOS versions work - please let me know!

Hope you enjoy!
