Rap 'N Reel

Hey there! this is Rap 'N Reel, Our experimental fishing + rap battle game! In this game you catch fish and subdue them by blasting them into oblivion with your spitting skills! These sea creatures fight back though, they'll counter you and try to pwn you! Show them who's boss.
Designed for mobile
We designed this game with mobile controls in mind! Try to run it on your android or iPhone if you get the chance :) You can even add it to your home-screen to 'install' it for offline play later. :)
Turn on your audio
We put a lot of love into the sounds and music of this game! We used our voices for 90% of the effects! The music was composed in apple Garageband and we hope you like our humorist approach to the audio design!
Controls
The game is fully controlled by touch events. You can go into a rapping flow by tapping the round symbols which pop up during battle mode. Watch out for the spiky question mark symbol: tap the ? and your character will choke, and your opponent will counter your rap!

Played on Mac with touchpad- was a little difficult- will have to try again with touch screen as intended. The list of fish was awesome- when that popped up I thought- "okay- I'm gonna be here awhile." Then, I kept catching the same fish- and then other fish seemed too difficult or impossible to beat- again, probably because of the touchpad.
Would love more variety in the raps- though thought the kind of Amanita scat-style was cool.
Would love if you could tap the bobber up and down while you wait- or certain taps might be good for catching certain fish, or you tap out the beat for the type of fish in the up coming battle. Just some thoughts, thanks to your fantastic little game which has my mind racing.
This is far as I got before I went crazy.

Never saw the Big Fish-beat spaghetti fish once- then lost to spaghetti fish and it was removed from the boat. Couldn't beat it again. One of the hardest games I've played- even tried on mobile- could tap much faster, but still too slow. I guess I just don't have what it takes. (Shakes head slips out of the boat into the water. Treads and swims away as the sun sinks slowly into the horizon.)
You guys are great!
The animations and the audio are impressive.
@Flatterp we used a Samson c01u, it's a really sweet mic for the price :)
