About the Game

Fishest Gup, the first fish to evolve legs and walk on land, has been teleported to the future! In the year 2199, the only place to fish are in the coolant waters of the world's largest Data Center known as the Holy Code Seas. The fish? Corrupted data clusters writhing through the submerged servers

In Fish Fear Me: 99, you fish from a boat floating atop digital coolant, harvesting fish-shaped data packets to save them from corruption. When you catch a new fish, it is uncorrupted and added to your Fish Dex. (Press [Right] while in the shop menu to check it out!)

Navigate the serene, synthetic seas. Time your drops. Snag corrupted entities. Sell them. Upgrade your rod. And keep an eye on the clock, Golden Hour (Dawn or Dusk) draws near, and with it, the elusive Golden Fish…

A hopefully relaxing loop of fishing and upgrading, built for the Playdate! Try and Catch them All to win the game!
