Get Hooked on this Fishing-Centric Boss Rush!

Catch exotic fish and fight comical sea-monsters as you chase after the one that got away! Enjoy calm fishing by the dockside, but beware – if a big enough bite is on your line, prepare to face off against a new deep-sea monstrosity! Use your fishing rod as a grappling hook and a sword as you travel to a variety of locations, reeling in and facing off against a roster of dangerous catches along the way… 

Bait & Tackle is a 2D boss-rush designed around fishing minigames while incorporating elements of platformers and collect-a-thons. Designed for players who spend too much time mastering fishing minigames, Bait and Tackle offers plenty of challenges and laughs for experienced and aspiring fishers alike. Grab your fishing rod, cast your line, and hoist yourself into the world of Bait & Tackle!

Such a quirky and fun game! The controls and movement are pretty smooth, making it really easy to jump right in. Really enjoy that you go from peacefully fishing to suddenly battling these comically large sea creatures! Seems like a great concept and can’t wait to see what the full version brings when it hits Steam!

There is a lot of potential here, controls are solid, game is fun and music fits the aesthetic. can not wait to see once game play it tightened up and their is more depth in combat.

Very solid and fun concept! While the bosses and player are very simple and are very limited, I did quite like the fluidity of the movement and the simplicity of the controls.
