Patch 1.0.5


New patch! These will hopefully start slowing down with time. Just need to iron out all the tiny little issues ASAP to make the game as best as possible!

- Received some feedback that a tutorial could be cool, so today I worked on adding a tutorial (tutoreel)! This tutorial is replayable, and is located at a new spot on the map. The tutorial contains some new custom scenery, as well as a new fish to catch (and a veggie counterpart of course)!!

- Added some sound effects to the main menu when starting a new game. Difficulty selection has a sound now, and casting the hook on the title has a sound too

- I actually fixed the RowBot description this time, I swear!

- Added control prompts in the intro. This should hopefully make things more clear

- Harpoon is now controllable via d-pad! For now it's at a locked speed, but I may add a setting to tweak that.

- Tweaked the spawn rates of the more rare fish, in an effort to make them a little more common.

- Upped the speed on the Cracked Hook, which will hopefully make it a little less miserable to play with! (0.65 -> 0.8)


Thank you to everyone who has played the game, and also thank you to everyone who's already beaten the game!!

Congrats to tavi on being the first to beat the game on Fish Fear Me mode!

Hello ! 


I am very hyped by your game but very lazy when it comes to sideloading regular updates... Is there any chance that your game ends up on the catalog ?


PS : don't get me wrong, I love updated games, it is so rare that creators take time to improve their Playdate games on the long term...


Cheers !

Hey! Yeah apologies for the daily updates here, I 100% understand that it’s really tedious to be sideloading this often (I wouldn’t want to sideload a new update every day either!). 

As for catalog.. heck yeah!! Reel-istic will be coming to catalog sometime in the future! No word yet from Panic on a release date (I think I plan to keep the date a surprise), but a catalog release would definitely be a few months into the future unfortunately.

So, you're saying, I should buy it now and enjoy the discount ? :D Thank you for your answer, and please keep updating the game, this is my main issue with itch.io releases at the moment (games dead at launch)

It’s up to you!!

And yeah don’t worry I plan to keep updating Reel-istic at least for a little bit! I definitely do want to move onto something else at some point, but I won’t be abandoning this game by any means!
