A downloadable game

A Game & Watch inspired game for Playdate.

Controls:

There are two control modes. You may switch between them in the Playdate menu depending on your preference. 

By default, any D-PAD button rotates the fisherman 90º clockwise. Both A and B buttons cast the fishing rod.
The flip controls option reverses these - the D-PAD will cast, and A or B will rotate. 

Gameplay:

Catching a fish increases your SCORE by 1. 
Catching a shark will increase your MISS count by 1. If your MISS count hits 3, your game ends.

Game A: Moderate difficulty
Game B: Hard difficulty

Tips:

  • All of the fish and sharks increase in speed with each fish you catch. Catching a shark temporarily slows them down.
  • Game B has two sharks, but the older shark is always a fair bit slower than its younger sibling.
  • There is an element of randomness involved, so do not lose hope if you fail. Keep trying!
  • The crank does nothing.

Special Thanks:

Notice:

It is not advised to use the clock mode as a clock, as it will drain battery far more than the actual lock screen. It exists for novelty purposes only.
