"ASLEEP AT THE REEL - PGMA SEASON 6: ROUND 3"

PLAY ON TURBOWARP OR ELSE THE GRAPHICS WILL LOOK LIKE TRASH DUE TO PEN STAMPING: TURBOWARP.ORG/951313871?HQPEN&OFFSCREEN

THIS WAS MADE FOR PGMA, A PIXEL GAME MAKING CONTEST THAT LASTS OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT. SO PLEASE, CHECK OUT ALL OF THE OTHER ENTRIES BEFORE VOTING! THE THEME FOR THIS ROUND WAS "DREAMING", WHICH IS WHY YOU "DREAM UP" YOUR DREAM FISH!

STORY:

IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE THIS OLD FISHERMAN HAD A GOOD CATCH, AND HE DREAMS OF CATCHING A BIG ONE EVERY DAY. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, ONE DAY YOUR DREAM MIGHT JUST COME TRUE.... SLEEP-FISH FOR ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF CREATURES! BUT WATCH OUT, EVERY TIME YOU REEL IN A CATCH, THE THREAT LEVEL INCREASES! IF IT FILLS UP, GET READY TO FIGHT A FISH RIGHT OUT OF YOUR DREAMS! NOW GO! KICK SOME BASS!

CONTROLS:

'A' & 'D' OR LEFT AND RIGHT KEYS - MOVEMENT
'W' & 'S' OR UP AND DOWN KEYS - RAISE/LOWER HOOK
SPACE - STOP METER

HOW HOOK UP FISH:
WHEN YOU TOUCH A FISH, YOU WILL HOOK EM' UP! THEN A METER WILL APPEAR NEXT TO THEM, THIS IS THE POWER METER. WHEN THE LITTLE WHITE BAR GETS IN THE GREEN, CLICK THE SPACE KEY TO STOP IT! IF YOU GET IN THE GREEN, YOU REEL UP THE FISH, OTHERWISE, THEY SWIM AWAY AND TAKE THE BAIT ON YOUR HOOK! SO TIMING IS KEY!

HOW BAIT WORKS:
A FISH WILL ONLY BITE YOUR HOOK IF THERE IS BAIT ON IT! WHEN YOU REEL IN A FISH SUCCESSFULLY YOU LOSE NO BAIT! BUT IF YOU FAIL, THE FISH EATS IT! TO GET BAIT BACK, REEL YOUR HOOK ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, AND IT WILL RE-BAIT YOUR HOOK, GIVEN THAT YOU HAVE ANY BAIT LEFT OF COURSE!

HOW THE THREAT LEVEL WORKS:
EVERY TIME YOU REEL IN A FISH, THE METER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WILL GO UP! THAT IS THE THREAT LEVEL. WHEN THE THREAT LEVEL IS FULL, A DREAM FISH WILL APPEAR!

THE GAME HAS SOME GLITCHES HERE AND THERE, AND SORRY ABOUT THE (KINDA) RUSHED ENDING ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
