Development Update 4/6/2025
Bait & Tackle » Devlog
Hey there! It’s time to bust out your fishing poles once more, ‘cause there are plenty more fish to catch!
Although we’ve been quiet for the past few months, we’ve been busy making new art, replacing sounds, tuning bosses, introducing accessibility options, improving UI, adjusting lighting, and a million more things!
... oh, did I forget to mention bullet-time fishing?
Changelog
Boss Rebalancing
The final boss has been rebalanced in response to feedback. Swordmaster Swordfish has also seen a few smaller tweaks.New Art
We recently brought @Vexelious onto the art team, and the extra hand has allowed us to add a number of new sprites to the game. This ranges from level elements to boss projectiles to an entirely new title screen!Improved Sound Effects
The first four bosses have new and improved sound effects, and we've added some additional sounds to places like the Fishdex and the seagull.More Music
A ton of new songs have been added to the game, including a title theme and original music for the levels and bosses that didn't have it previously.Lighting
All of the levels now have lighting, which makes the levels feel more alive.Extra Options
We've added volume sliders to the pause menu, as well as some accessibility options to allow for more people to experience the thrill of beating up massive fish.Bullet-Time Fishing
Do we need to say anything else? You enter bullet time when fishing now. That's so cool.Bugfixing
A bunch of bugs have been fixed behind the scenes, including some particularly annoying ones like the hook unintentionally passing through some platforms and the player freezing in midair while fishing.Speaking of…
Known bugs
- When starting a new game after loading a new session from before, the map isn't reset and retains its progress from the old save.
- There are some small aesthetic bugs related to bullet time, such as the afterimage being displaced slightly and the fishing line cast not syncing with the animation.
- Big Bass and the final boss may be caught slightly earlier than usual.
Feedback
We want to hear from you! Please fill out our feedback form with your honest thoughts, and keep the bug report form handy in case you run into anything weird. Thanks as always!Files
