curious fishing [browser]

Use your trusty fishing rod to reel in catches but think carefully about the path you take to get there in the puzzle game Curious Fishing by Rhythm Lynx. (controls: cursor keys + space or enter, z key to undo a move)

    Wow. Wonderful game, maybe one of my favorites this year. The pacing and the progression was perfect. The 3 boss battles were a really nice touch. I love it when a game builds on each mechanic so intuitively, no tutorial or hand-holding needed. Makes you feel clever for figuring it out. And the pixel art Gameboy aesthetic is so nostalgic and lovely! Really well done all around.

    Trap them with your line. Don't put the line in the weeds

    I tried trapping them with the line, but when I reel it in, the line just goes up and nothing else happens.
