Ranked from 27 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Notes (optional)
Inspired by the classic board game Can't Stop, but with SO MANY FISH!

HOW TO PLAY:

Spend your actions to catch fish. You can spend your actions in three ways:
1) Set a rod (click on an empty spot on the pier to do this)
2) Advance time (click on the stopwatch icon to do this). When you advance time each set rod has a chance to hook a fish. Or, if a fish is already hooked, it has a chance to upgrade to a better fish. But look out, it also has a chance to snap! Push your luck for high scoring fish, but know when to quit!
3) Catch a fish (click on a rod with a hooked fish to reel it in). Catching a fish will increase your multiplier for the round. Advancing time (by pressing the stopwatch) will reset your multiplier to zero, so try to hook a lot of fish at once to get a good score.

Use gold to upgrade your rods and buy helpful cards and charms. You can get old either by finishing a day's fishing with remaining actions (click on the check button in the top left to do this). And also, if you hit the day's target points, you can get a bonus as well.

Score 250 points in five days of fishing to win!

BUGS:
Dewar Flask is broken, and if you catch one BIG fish, all the other fish on the screen at the time will become big and allow you to really juice your score. If anyone wants to play a rebalanced version of the game with a lot more to do and catch, please follow me as I'm working on the update!
