How did you interpret the themes?
Fishing game meets mob heist.
Normally you're out there, finding fish, tying on lures.
But this fisherman, he gets in deep water and uses the only skills he has to get out of debt. :D
So now he's sneaking, casting for lootables, and avoiding the cops where he can.

Nothing like a disgraced angler turning to a life of theft using the skills he knows best. Fun game while also being challenging. Also loved seeing some Sidekick characters! That Mall Cop needs a new line of work, his hearing was out of this world haha!
Really fun and unexpected genre mix! I loved the idea of turning fishing into a heist mechanic — it makes the game stand out immediately. The low-poly art style also fits the setting really well. I think the stealth and fishing mechanics could be pushed even further for more variety, but overall this was a really creative entry. Great job!
Hey thanks. I've been thinking I might make it bigger, thanks for the feedback.
