Deep Cast

DEEP CAST

Sail out. Cast your line. Wait for the bite. Then hold on.

A tight, tension-based fishing arcade game. Forty levels of deep-sea water, each one more demanding than the last.

HOW IT PLAYS

1. Hold anywhere to cast. The longer you hold, the farther your line flies.
2. Tap to stop the sink, then wait. A fish will find your hook.
3. When it bites — tap fast. You've got a fraction of a second.
4. Now the real fight begins. HOLD to reel. But reeling builds tension, and too much tension snaps the line.
5. Let go and tension drops — but if you let go for too long, the fish pulls free on its own. You have to keep the pressure on.

The sweet spot is the green band on the tension bar. Keep the needle in there and you reel twice as fast, earning a PERFECT bonus on every catch. Reel too hard, and you lose the fish.
