Get Hooked on this Fishing Adventure… Where The Fish Fight Back!

Step into the boots of a legendary fisherman returning from a shameful retirement. Travel the coastline chasing after exotic fish and regaining your forgotten skills. But beware – deadly catches are lurking everywhere…

Take down a variety of comical bosses in fast-paced, high-intensity fights! Cast your fishing line like a grappling hook to sling yourself around stages, while also using your rod to smack sea monsters into submission!

The One That Got Away…

Long ago, The Big One got away and forced you into an early retirement. But now, you finally have the chance to redeem your reputation following recent sightings of the mythical monster! Follow the trail of rumors while taking down other terrible creatures that have been terrorizing the coast, including Mini Minnow, Big Bass, Crude Crab, and Swordmaster Swordfish

No Laughing Matter.

Don’t let their wacky appearance fool you: each boss fight will push you to your limits and provide fresh challenges that force you to make the most of the fishing rod you wield. You’ll learn to master various movement techniques and boss patterns while constantly switching up strategies and adapting on the fly! As you improve, chase high scores as you replay past fights and challenge yourself with Super-Boss versions of fights! A suite of accessibility options ensures that you can play by your own rules and rise to any challenge.

Gotta Fish ‘Em All!

Chase after dozens and dozens of unique fish (and secret easter eggs) in each location! With unique rarities and difficulties, filling up your Fishdex is no easy task…

Filled with hand-crafted pixel art, gut-busting jokes, and nail-biting challenges, the world of Bait & Tackle awaits… Grab your fishing rod, cast your line, and chase after The One that Got Away!
