🎣 Hooky Fish – Our Ludum Dare 57 Entry!

Into the Depths We Go! 🐟

👉 Play Here!

🧠 The Theme: "Depths"

We dove straight into the idea—literally! You play as a fisherman dropping your line deeper and deeper into the ocean, hunting for the elusive angler fish lurking in the darkest corners of the sea.

🎮 About the Game

You’re not just fishing — you’re on a mission. Start small, sell your catches, and upgrade your gear to reach even deeper. Avoid dangerous obstacles, reel in what you can, and keep your eyes on the prize: the mysterious angler fish that’s said to live in the abyss.

⚙️ Features

🎯 Goal-driven progression: Catch and sell fish to upgrade your rod

🐟 Fish variety: Each catch brings you closer to the final goal

🛠️ Upgrades: Boost your strength, hook speed, and price for selling

🌌 A journey into the deep: The further you go, the darker (and stranger) it gets...

💡 What Went Well

The gameplay loop turned out really addictive (we couldn’t stop playtesting!)

Visual feedback and upgrades felt satisfying and motivating

We managed to get in a proper start-to-finish loop with a clear objective

Happy jamming! 🐠
