Intergalactic Fishing is a fishing RPG that features procedurally generated content and graphics. Travel to lakes all over the universe and catch unique fish, explore uncharted lakes and sell data, complete quests, upgrade your gear, compete in fishing tournaments, design your own lures, and more!

Players Like...

❤ Fishing Mechanics

Players cast lines into alien lakes using a precision tension-based reeling system. Each catch requires carefully managing a horizontal tension bar, preventing line breakage or fish escape. Individual fish swim with unique behaviors: a 30-pound lake monster fights differently from a small surface-dwelling species, demanding dynamic player adaptation.

❤ Lure Design System

The innovative lure creation mechanic lets players construct custom bait using a Tetris-like grid. Designers strategically place colored blocks affecting specific stats like loudness (0-10 scale), reflectivity, and underwater movement. A bright green block might increase lure visibility, while a dark rectangular piece could enhance depth control. Players learn optimal designs by dissecting caught fish and analyzing their preferences.

❤ Exploration and Discovery

Procedural generation creates infinite lake ecosystems with 2-8 unique fish species per environment. Players scan unknown lakes, mapping terrain, detecting environmental anomalies, and documenting wildlife. Some rare lakes contain hidden narrative elements or increased data value, rewarding thorough exploration.

❤ Progression and Upgrade Systems

Players advance through rod upgrades increasing catch probability, BOAT modules enhancing underwater scanning, scientific data collection mechanisms, and tournament and contract earnings. Each upgrade exponentially expands fishing capabilities and research potential.

❤ Quest and Narrative Structure

A flexible main storyline about mysterious fish population declines serves as a narrative framework. Players investigate corporate ecological interference while freely choosing between structured missions and open-world exploration. Fish contracts, tournaments, and side quests provide dynamic gameplay alternatives.

❤ Gameplay Philosophy

The experience induces a meditative 'flow state' by balancing strategic depth with serene exploration. Complex simulation models each fish's individual behavior, transforming seemingly simple mechanics into a nuanced ecological investigation.

❤ Technical Accomplishment

Sophisticated algorithmic design simulates fish populations with remarkable complexity. Swimming patterns, feeding behaviors, and environmental interactions emerge dynamically, creating an ecosystem that feels authentically alive despite minimalist graphics.
