Bait and Switch: LD41 entry

Summary

This is a fishing + puzzle game created for the Ludum Dare 41 jam by Shadeybee and GAFBlizzard AKA AgentElrond.

Make sure all blue/red/yellow fish escape or are caught.

Then, catch the shiny fish with max size bait.

Instructions

* WASD or arrow keys - Move (S / down to cast if line is out of water)

* C - Cast or Recast (if you already have bait, you release it, which may be needed to solve puzzles)

* R - Reset current level

* M - Mute/unmute audio

* B - Toggle editor

* Y - Skip current level (at least try to beat it first!)

* T - Toggle timer display for speedrunning

* Q - Quit to main menu (press twice)

Mechanics

* Each new cast uses up one bait fish.

* Bigger fish eat any smaller fish of the same color.

* Red fish eat blue fish.

* Yellow fish eat red fish.

* If you bump the wrong kind of fish or obstacle, your bait will escape.

* The shiny fish only eats max size fish.

* The shiny fish will not eat unless ALL other fish are gone.

* If you run out of bait, you will have to retry the level.

It might have been cool if max size fish had different effects, like exploding to destroy obstacles, but we did not get there in time.

We sadly did not have time to make our own music and sound effects. Credits for things we did not make:
