stillwater's story : a fishing adventure

 I wanted a in-depth 2d fishing game that was moderately low spec with online leaderboards.  I also didn't want the player to just stare at a tension gauge. so, in my version you have to watch the fish, keep it away from snags while also managing tension which is conveniently displayed on your string that leads to the fish. making it very easy to manage both simultaneously. as is the only active leaderboard is biggest catfish.

game will likely give warning at install. do what you will. i have no malicious intent.

there isnt a tutorial. 

pc controls :

change_item_in_hand: 1 and 2  (important for accessing your tacklebox or holding your pole) 

move: wasd

cast: click  drag release quickly

reel : M

cut line: space bar

manipulate fish: Q and E (allows you to pull the fish away from snags)

basic gameplay tips: 

1. find a bait shop

2. buy bait (worms are free)

3. walk away from the shop and press "2" or the upper left hand "right" arrow. 

4. youll see your tacklebox. drag and drop bait to equip. 

5. find water and cast in it. 

6. use M or the on screen action botton to real. 

note if you submit a fish to the leaderboard it will start your day over in game and you will have none of the bait you have purchased.
