Star Trawler

A game about fishing in space with your friend who is also your ship.

Introduction:
A stranded spacer crashes into a scuttled spaceship. The spacer isn't going anywhere alone, and the ship can't go anywhere without fish to power it. Neither one is keen to trust anyone again, but sometimes the galaxy leaves you no choice if you want to fly again.

Controls:

• When the radio is flashing red, click on it or press Enter to start and continue conversations.
• Click on the radio during conversations to advance them.
• A/D to move left and right on the ship
• Space to perform the current action (you can also use buttons!)
• Walk up to the Harpoon to fish.
• While fishing, use the 'Launch' button to launch the harpoon at a fish on the scanner.
• Then use the 'Reel-In' button when the winch wheel pointer matches the target to retract the harpoon.
• Walk up to the Crane to feed the whale.

Made for Mini Jam 153: Fishing. The limitation was 'No Water'.
