Probably a Fish
The ocean is wrong. He doesn't mind.
A short fishing game.
Cast. Wait. Pull up whatever bites. It is rarely a fish.
Sell it at the dock.
Buy a better rod. Grow the upgrade tree.
Every new boat pulls the camera back, and the ocean gets bigger.
And a little more wrong.
The fisherman doesn't mind.
This is a demo
About 15 to 20 minutes. It ends when you buy your second boat.
What's in it
- A fishing fight: click fast, pull at the right moment.
- A shop. Rods, lines, bait, lanterns, and birds that sell for you.
- An upgrade tree that shows itself as you go.
- A logbook that remembers everything you pulled out.
- Day and night. Rain, fog, storms.
- English, Portuguese and Spanish.
Controls
Mouse
Click the water to cast. Click again to aim. Click when it bites.
Click fast to reel. Right-click to pull when the ring is inside the target.
Keyboard
Space is the main action. E sells. Esc pauses.
Phone (landscape)
Tap the water. In the fight, tap the two reels. Tap the hook when it shows up.

very cute game i love the sounds!!
not sure if its a me-problem but im playing on keyboard and getting the circle to green when im fishing, but it won't let me actually catch anything? it keeps saying it got away :( (im using space)
aaa thank you so much!! really happy you’re liking the sounds :)
and nope, not a you-problem at all, that one’s on us! space fills the circle, but pulling is a separate button, and on keyboard it doesn’t have a key by default (it’s right-click on the mouse). so the circle goes green, nothing pulls, and it swims away :(
two easy fixes:
we’ll make this clearer in the next update. thanks for telling us!! hope the ocean gives you something good now (it won’t be a fish)
The second option worked thanks so much!
I did find a bug with the first option though: whenever I press a key, the game entirely freezes!
omg thank you for catching that!! you’re totally right, it was a bug on our end: in the browser the keys menu was saving the wrong key (space), which left your main action with no key at all, so space just stopped doing anything. it’s fixed for the next update!
and next version it’ll also catch on its own when the circle turns green, so you won’t need to set anything up :)
for now, if your keys got messed up: options → controls → keys → “default keys” puts everything back. thanks again, this helped a ton!!
