Prologue

In Baits & Beats you control and manage a little boat with four fishermen using nothing but your arrow keys! Catch fish, feed your fisherman, stay hydrated, stock your supplies, keep your wire from breaking, and most importantly... dabble into the occult. Just a little bit. It's a fishy business, but who knows, it might bring them some cash!?

---------------------------

How To Play

Objective: Full up all of your fishermen's cult meters in order to get to the final boss.

Catch fish by applying bait to your hook, then throwing out the rod (both on Action Page 1). When a fish bites, reel in the first to start the minigame. When successfully beating the minigame, you don't only catch the fish, you also get an upgrade!

Make sure you keep your fishermen hydrated and don't let them die of hunger. By selecting Eat on Action Page 1, you'll automatically feed your lowest value fish to the selected Fisherman.

Wire out of durability? Make sure to replace it with a new one (Action Page 2)

 To earn money you can use Sell Fish on Action Page 2, to sell the highest value fish. Keep your stocks of bait, wire,  drinks up while aiming to get yourself some runes so your Fisherman can dabble into the occult by using these runestones (Action Page 2).
