A downloadable game

This is a decompression fishing game that I made in 3 days for pygame-community-summer-jam-2023.

The gameplay is relatively simple, you need to click on the fish on the screen to catch them in order to get money. Different fish have different abilities, and some fish cannot be caught. The bigger the fish, the more valuable it is.

The game of version 1.1 is made after the game jam. The new version of the game adds some features and will be published after the game jam ends.

LooksNameRequired level (v1.1)Description
Common Fish0No description
Thorn Fish1 ($10+)They're very dangerous. There is no money to be gained from catching them, but there is a loss.
Gold Fish2 ($100+)They are very valuable. Each sells 10 times as much money as the common fish.
Fast Fish3 ($200+)They swim fast, so they sell for five times the price of the common fish.
Bomb Fish3 ($200+)They will explode when caught, killing fish around, but they won't cause you to lose your money.

Fish King (v1.1)4 ($300+)When a fish king is caught, there will be a rush of fish.
Ice Fish (v1.1)5 ($500+)When it dies, the fish around it will be frozen.
Shark (v1.1)5 ($500+)They will kill fish that are slower and smaller. Also, you cannot catch them.
