Orbital Catch
🛰️ 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.

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