Something sinister lurks in the deep... and it's your task to catch it! :shark: Complete your altar (that's not a weird thing to do at all) and collect all the strange and dangerous monsters hiding in the water. Using nothing but your trusty fishing rod :fishing_pole_and_fish:, can you collect them all? Oh, and did we mention you're a ghost? :ghost: How SPOOKY!

Put on your favorite scary audio book and start reeling in those fishes!!

Simple but beatifully made game, love the pixelated filter and the fishing line.

Really cute game, liked the wobbly effect of the fishing rod! Couldn't understand how to equip the hat and such but enjoyed the experience :)

Nice fishing game! Too bad it's really RNG dependent, otherwise it could be good game.
Still, I like the simplicity of fishing making it easy to fish. I'm surprised that it has powerups too.

I like the visuals! It would be cool if the upgrades were displayed somewhere (like the ghost wearing the witch hat for example).

Very fun and surprisingly addictive. I love the visuals and the halloween theme. Well done!

I really like the game-feel and the physics, it's very satisfying to FLING the fish out of the water and the mouse controls are super fun. I do wish there was a bit more going on rather than just getting lucky to get rarer fish as it got a bit repetitive after a while (maybe making catching the fish a little more difficult / involved somehow would be good). I'm also not sure that the low-resolution style with dynamic rotation always worked great, but the graphics themselves were very nice, especially the cute ghost and the various fish designs.

Took me 7:02 to catch them all. And I enjoyed every minute of it :D
The controls are super interesting for a fishing game. See it for the first time and it works really well.
Also the idle progress system is really nice.

And Monster Fishes, sick idea!
