Game guide

Hook (Fishing): When colliding with fish, you will reduce their HP until they are caught. Some fish have armor or move quickly, requiring more collisions.

Scale (Scaling): After catching a fish, you use the mouse to pull each piece of scale off. You need to operate gently—if you are too strong, the fish will be damaged, causing you to lose points or income.

Feed (Serve): Each customer creature has its own taste. Based on the expression or satisfaction bar, you will know whether the dish you prepare is to your liking or not. When you serve well, you receive many bonuses.

Upgrade: Use the money you earn to upgrade your fishing rod (length), hook (damage), scaler (speed increase), and storage. These upgrades help you catch more fish, catch them deeper, and serve customers more effectively.

How to Play

Start at the far left and interact to start fishing. The fishing line will automatically descend;  Ram a fish with the hook to deal damage to it, fishing it up after dealing enough. 

Take your newly caught fish to the Scaling station, where you can scale your newly caught fish. Once you're done scaling a fish, press the button at the top right corner to finish!

Feed your cleaned fish to the hungry customer on the right, who will pay you after they're fully satiated.

Access the shop using the button in the top right corner to purchase upgrades for your knife, fishing line, and hook!

Repeat, until you finally SCALE THE DEPTHS!
