Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Get points for each fish that you catch.

The more fish you catch, the more sharks that come.

Avoid the sharks to stay alive.

You can only fish where the water is sparkling.

The water won't sparkle if the boat or sharks are near.

Avoid sharks... they will kill you!

Happy Fishing :-)

For some reason the page scrolls down when the arrow keys are held down. I don't know if this is an error with GameMaker's Html5 export. I will look into it and fix it. For the meantime use the WASD keys.

Also, people are having trouble understanding how to play the game. I need to explain things better. The fish are located where the water sparkles (looks like little white bits moving around). When you or sharks get near the area the sparkles will vanish, but the fish are still there. So you only know the location of the fish from far away!

I got the webpage to not scroll when the arrow keys are held down!

PM me if you need to know how to do with with HTML5 games.

I couldn't fish anything. Whenever I moved close to a circular sparkling point, the sparkles disappeared before I could do anything. WTF!

<deleted> responds:

The sparkling points are where the fish are. You have to go there and fish. It's just not indicated of you are close to them.

I read the directions, no problems! Cool game :)

<deleted> responds:

Woo! Thanks.

It simple and fun to play I really like it. But it took me while to understand that I can fish when the sparling disappears. Thought that is some kind of trolling and I was trying somehow to approach really fast these sparkling spots before they disappear.

<deleted> responds:

I will have to try and think of a better way to show that you can fish there without confusing people.
