Fate of a Bait

Overview

You are a worm nearing retirement and had actually planned to spend your coming years on your boat, when suddenly you were snatched from the pier - and before you knew it, you were dangling from a fishing hook in the water!

Fight to survive this fishing trip and avoid ending up as fish food, so you can go sailing instead!

Your main goal is to avoid the ocean's hazards and keep your oxygen level up until you are pulled back out of the water. To get air to breathe, you must spit sand into the eyes of the fish. That's just how it works in nature. I guess.

Features

Exceptional game mechanics with smooth movements and control

Big sprites and elaborate animations

Two difficulty modes: Easy and Advanced

9 stages of increasing difficulty and 3 boss stages in-between

Playfully designed title-screen featuring bait dancing to your favourite bavarian polka ;)

Final winning screen if you made it through the whole fishing trip

Lots of soundeffects and music during gameplay and screens

Standard 32kByte (F4 bankswitching) binary. No ARM was harmed during development.

Probably one of the most unusual games you've ever played
