Words from the developers - "If you told Toad from one year ago that he'd be writing an acceptance speech for Reel-istic, then his frog brain would have melted into frog pudding. This game being nominated among games that were made by developers that I hold incredible amounts of respect and admiration for... it's very unreal, and I'm very very lucky to be here, and to have this oppor-tuna-ty.
I need to thank my wonderful family for the support, the love, and the hype they shared with me (the best parents and siblings I could ever ask for, seriously), as well as my friends: Aperson, AstariaJay, Brian Dorsey, Ducky, Gamma, GantProdux, Gnarthex, Guv Bubbs, Jama, Jared & Marcus Richardson, Kiwi, Ledbetter, Leflo, NickSr, Nnnn, Orkn, PizzaFuel, Rae, Rupert Cole, Tavi, and so so so many more. Thank you all, from the deepest depths of my green amphibious heart."
Sink your line to the deepest depths of the Reel-istic Sea, and return to the surface, catching any fish in your way! Unleash those fish into the air, and snipe them with your trusty harpoon!
Sell those fish to fill your ship to the brim with corals, and use those corals to purchase an assortment of upgrades and equipment from your friendly (and suspiciously fish-like) local shopkeep!
Take caution though... you're not the only unstoppable force in these waters.
"One of the few games I finished on Playdate. A lot has to be done right for that to happen." - Nino
"Probably not the fishing game you imagined when first using the crank, but definitely the fishing game your Playdate deserves!" - Orkn
"Of-fish-ially one of the best hauls you can get on Playdate for $8! Caught me hook, line and sinker but I'm not cod-plaining." - ComfyCrow
