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!

This game is super fun! I love the style and aesthetics! It would be cool if you could get bigger boats and see multiple guys of the same type in your boat. I got two ballmans but there was still only one in the boat

This is one of my favorite games I have played, it is so fun! I kept trying to think of the best possible fishing mash up game and I think you have found it.. the gameplay got a little repetitive but I found myself just needing to try oooone more time. One other piece of feedback is it seemed like I fished up the ballman about 5 times in a row or something haha, maybe it could be less likely to get the same fish if you have already caught it? Fantastic job!

Love the illustration style. Great animations. P.S. Nice buttholes!

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.)

Really fun game. I like the art style, I struggled a couple of times because the ? was directly on top of an attack and I couldnt press it with hitting the ?. small things though. Great work!

Very nice! Perfectly executed in every way!

This is my favorite execution of the genre smashing theme of the jam. Great job!

This game was great fun to play. It got kinda annoying to have to catch the same things over and over before I found anything new, so the game flow could be improved a bit there.

The animations and the audio are impressive.

I love this so much., really satisfying, haha. What kind of mic did you use for the SFX? They all sound really crisp.
