Bait & Tackle

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!

Bait & Tackle is still in Development!
