Tackle Box is a fast-paced fishing and fighting game where every catch wants to beat you up and drag you into the lake before you smack it with a rod. Cast your line, and get ready to throw hands with aquatic wildlife that absolutely did not evolve for peaceful coexistence.

About
In Tackle Box, you play as John Tacklebox – a grizzled fisherman, quiet and stubborn as the sea itself.
Your village has emptied over the years, leaving you alone with your memories, your rod, and the ocean.
But when you enter a legendary fishing competition, the fight for survival begins.
FISHING MEETS FIGHTING
Catch fish.
Fight fish.
Win fights.
Catch bigger fish.
Repeat until your arms fall off.
TIGHT, SIMPLE COMBAT
Punch. Dodge. Block. Slam fish into the dirt.
The controls are easy to learn and satisfying every time you land a hit.
BOSS FISH WITH ATTITUDE
Face a lineup of over-the-top fighters, each with their own moves and personality.
Every boss has unique mechanics and a desire to ruin your day.
Each boss has quotes guaranteed to make you question buying this game:
“YOU WILL BE FISHED.”
EXPLORE, CATCH, BRAWL
Travel through lakes, rivers, and oceans to find new fish to fight and new ways to get beaten up by wildlife.

[b]Score: 2/10[/b] [list] [*][b]Art:[/b] Very inconsistent. It mixes realistic elements, retro visuals, and other styles without cohesion. The UI is particularly bad, and the backgrounds are unattractive. The fish designs are the only consistently entertaining visual element. [*][b]Music:[/b] Basic and largely unremarkable. [*][b]Story:[/b] Lighthearted and somewhat amusing, but not especially interesting or memorable. [*][b]Gameplay:[/b] A strange mix of a fishing game and [i]Punch-Out!![/i]-style combat. The fishing mechanics are extremely basic and not fun. The fighting segments are even worse: you’re limited to simple attacks, dodging, and guarding, but the controls are unresponsive, making timing-based interactions frustrating rather than engaging. [*][b]Accessibility:[/b] None.[/list]
Free, fun and weird but kinda hard and full of bugs Love the idea, the paper mario style and the aesthetic Broken things: - fishing just require to left click and leave the key when the cable gets red and then click again - continue will leave you with full ealth, day just began and all the fish you had before dying

Fun
i mean it's alright
Super big fan of this. The art style is really nice and the gameplay is surprisingly fun, it did take me a bit to get used to timing dodges but not too hard. Would absolutely recommend :)
she said it was her or Tackle Box: The First Catch. i am now single
A hidden gem for sure, I had a blast playing it !
