Fishing Roguelike where you're a fish that fishes for fish sushis

Your weapons are fishes.

Survive waves of pants wearing sea-creatures, then exhale during a nice fihing time,fish calm waters for stranger, deadlier gear and cook your ingredient drops into stat-boosting sushi. Every catch is an upgrade. Every sushi is a synergy waiting to snowball your run.

Spin to win. Reel to survive. Love to Fih

Gameplay

1. SURVIVE. Move with WASD while your equipped fish auto-swings at the nearest foe. Eels chain lightning, sunfish hammer with screen-shaking weight, octopi sweep wide. But beware: freshness ticks down as your fish tires, so a stale weapon hits soft.
2. FIH. When the wave clears, the water goes calm — no timer, no panic. Pick a bobber and circle-crank the mouse to reel. Read the fight: ease the fish toward the surface, then back off when it dives and thrashes. Crank too hard and the line snaps.
3. COOK. Enemies drop ingredients. In the Kitchen, fold rice, nori, fish and spice into sushi. Each plate stacks flat bonuses, per-tag synergies, and collection multipliers. The right pantry turns a humble sardine into a world ending fih.
4. SPEND & REPEAT. Hit the Market between rounds for new rods and ingredient offers.
