Alright, here's the deal:


This funky lad wants to catch an eel.
Yet it has been a long time, since anyone has ever caught an eel. They either went extinct, or may just be too smart to be caught. The fisherman of course doesn't care and hopes for the best anyway. Maybe he catches some other equally  valuable fish with which he could afford a longer rope? 

use WASD to move the hook and try to catch fish.

ESC brings up a pause menu, T displays the speedrun timer.
You can also control the Eel using your mouse to try'n knock other fish onto the hook.

You can either submit runs via the comment section underneath this games' itch.io page, or by DM'ming me the video link via discord.

this was actually so fun to play! im in love with the push-pull mechanic when you have to watch two types of action and keep an eye on them. Fish animation is very well done! I’m also into fishing games. 10/10

This is a stunning game.

to be fair I really love fishing games anyway hehe.

It took me quite a while to figure everything out but thats on me because as most people I hate reading instructions. but thats on me ;)


I went all the way to the end and fell in love with the never ending background
