A downloadable game for Windows

In this shifting world of tide and scale, every catch is a step toward survival—a way to carve out a legacy against the vast, indifferent blue.

A difficult living you've chosen. The waters teem with prey both elusive and ancient. The ocean’s own temper is often against you. Fight back with your wits, your mastery of the line, and a fair few unique cards in your deck!

Development:
deckhand was made over the course of a week for the Gone Fishing Game Jam. The inspiration was pretty much informed by the question of what Slay the Spire 2 would look like if it had a fishing minigame. (I've been playing a lot of Slay the Spire 2 lol).

Controls:
Left click for most interactions, right click to end turn

Note:
Some things are still pretty jank because I kinda ran out of time. I'm so sure there are edge cases and things that I could clean up. Please let me know if you run into something wonky! Happy to make changes and keep fixing things!
