Ace Angler
A downloadable game
Take your Playdate and embark on a relaxing fishing experience!
Use the accelerometer to cast your line and crank to reel it back in. But be careful not to crank too hard or else your line might snap under the increasing tension!
This is a small scale release of Ace Angler, with five levels of fish difficulty and three unique fish to catch.
Massive thanks to Toad for the background and fish silhouettes and for helping play-test this game as it has evolved.

Just discovered this via the Playdate Squad Discord, but the latest version seems to be missing a main.pdz to play in simulator or on the handheld. I'm not yet ready to cast this aside -- fingers crossed for a fix!
Hi! Thanks for your comment!
Ace Angler is made entirely in C, so it does not contain a .PDZ that you may have seen with other games. C games instead contain a pdex.bin file for the Playdate. The other pdex.so file is so it can run on the Linux simulator, which is the platform I develop my games in. However, I would not recommend running the game in the simulator as the accelerometer controls are not very good (it compresses the 3 degrees of rotation into 2 dimensions).
Hi! Thanks for your helpful response! I understand now -- I was attempting to sideload through the simulator, but should have uploaded via the website instead.
Do you intend to add more content/fish?? 👀 The game is really amazing and I LOVE fishing games, thank you for making this!!
Thank you for playing!! I definitely want to expand the content side in a few months time with a raft of unique fish to collect and maybe some extra mechanics during the fishing part to help flesh it out a little more. Hopefully that version will release on Catalog 💜
Ohhh, that would be awesome!!! Can't wait!
No cod-plaints here! I'm hooked on it, and that's a fin-tastic thing because I codn't think of a better way-ve to spend my day! This is reely the most reelistic and reelaxing fishing sim on Playdate! 💚
