Big Reel Fishing was created over a weekend for Solo Dev Game Jam #4. Given the constraint of two button controls and short dev time, I decided to create a chill flash-game type experience inspired by Radical Fishing. I always thought fishing mini-games were the best parts of some other games, so it was fun to build out a dedicated short jam game.
I'm a San Diego native, so the game takes place off the coast of La Jolla, with the cliff backgrounds of the game inspired by Sunset Cliffs. The UI is rendered in-world with low-rez effects applied, giving the game a vibrant Dreamcast vibe.
