🛰️ ORBITAL CATCH

"Even in the cold dark, there's good honest fishing to be had."
- Meridian Yield, recruitment brochure


🎣 THE JOB

Meridian Yield has sent you and your crew aboard the old TR-9 Gannet, a "fishing satellite". With only 12 harpoons and 400 credits of debt, you'll have to make every shot count to meet your quota.

You've noticed that the onboard computer has received a firmwire update, wonder what's that about...


⁉️ HOW IT WORKS

  • W A S D  /  ↑ ← ↓ →
    Steer the Gannet around the planet, it never stops and you can only accelerate or decelerate.
  • Space  /  Enter  /  Left click
    Fire the harpoon. The light on the hull goes yellow when something's underneath, but that's just a hint. Those darn fishes can give you the slip.
  • Space
    Advance dialog. Hold to skip, once you've landed a full run.
  • Tab
    Pause.

The smaller and quicker the fish, the better the payout. You also earn more with streaks and firing while moving at high speed.

Uff, I love the art style, and it's so much fun! I could spend hours here just to get the 3 in one haha

I love the style. It's really fun, but the fish could have slightly more interesting silhouettes. But otherwise it's pretty amazing.
