The Fish and the Furious combines the detailed realism of slot car racing with the strategy and excitement of a fishing minigame. Drive to each checkpoint before it times out, but don't run out of fish to fuel your car! Bring a friend and go head-to-head for an extra challenge.

I love that in "chill" mode it's just a fishing game where I need to drive to a new fishing hole every 30 seconds or so :)

Relsquiauthor23 Apr 2018, 01:28

That's the idea! :) I'm trying to get in the habit of putting a "just hang out and mess around" mode in games by default.

Haha this game is adorable! And rather challenging too. Had a lot of fun with this one.

I played this game with my brother, we had fun crashing and fishing! Love me some multiplayer.

Really fun little concept.

You make it look so easy on the video and when I played it I ended up in the water like crazy xD

Really cool game!

I actually lol'd when I played this game. Well done.

@Rombus Haha, I've heard that a lot! I had a lot of time to get used to the controls while working on it. :) That doesn't explain my roommate though (P1 in the video) ... she's just really good at video games. :sweat_smile:

Nice game!

Haha, this is great! Simple, fun, and well-executed. Congrats on your entry! :)

Simple but very polished. I think it's very cute!

Hahaha I noticed this game since the jam began, and finally found it (ldjam.com really needs a 'wish list' feature). This little game is very funny and I can actually feel the furious! Admire your innovative mind :smile:

@wizcas Haha, thank you! I use the "follow user" feature for that, but it's imprecise at best. Glad you enjoyed. :)

Fun game, really difficult!

Wow your innovation score is so high, congratulations! I just wanted to come back and say that after playing around 40 games, this is still one of my favorites.
