Hook & Fin

Four little boats bob on a sunset lake, and every angler on them wants you for dinner. You are a small, greedy fish, and the bait is right there.

Nibble the worm. Every bite is worth more than the last, so the brave stay longer. But anglers have tells: the bell rings, the line goes taut and glows, the angler leans in, the bait twitches. When you see it, swim for it. Too slow and you are hooked; too careful and you go home hungry.

Each angler fishes in their own way, and reading them is the whole game. A round lasts 90 seconds, so one more try is always close.

How to play

Swim with the mouse (or drag a finger, or the arrow keys). Hold the button on a worm to bite, and let go to dart off. Bites count 1, 2, 3, 4, and a whole worm in one go earns a clean steal bonus. When the line lights up and the bell rings, the angler has noticed you: let go and swim. Quick anglers strike fast, sleepy ones give you time.
