Grapple Fisher DX

The most ambitious beer-powered motion-controlled fishing game at alt.ctrl.GDC 2024!

Grapple your way out of your boring desk job to pursue your true fishing passion! Whether you realize it in The Garden, Fort Glub, or The Abyss is up to you! You are no GOOGAN, use your hook to catch every kind of fish you can find, and the biggest too - there are some real hogs. If you can't reach the next pond, you might need to repurpose your hook to grapple closer - your favorite lawn chair and cooler have become MOBILE! Vacation isn't vacation if you have to stand up or run to the fridge. If your rod ever runs out of juice, your beer can be repurposed too, as a fuel tank! Collect more of that beer to keep in your cooler to relax even harder.

Grapple Fisher DX is a 3D fishing platformer, primarily developed to be played with a custom grapple fishing rod controller with a custom beer can peripheral. As such, it's best to find us physically at alt.ctrl.GDC 2024, where we'll be for the whole expo, or meet us wherever we are if you really want to pay tribute to the glorious fishing rod. Alternatively, you can play using keyboard controls below.
