A playthrough of Hooked, a fishing game in a post-apocalyptic world where you fish toxic waters to raise funds to buy your wife back from a merchant.
As part of a game jam it's a pretty short fishing game with several fish providing bonuses based off where they're placed in your bags and exploiting this is necessary to make the big bucks. There's a few hazards to deal with (with items mitigating those effects) but since they have a preset occurrence you generally don't stay too long (especially as your bags fill up quickly). A few upgrades make things easier but you don't need too much money to finish the game - I bought more upgrades than was needed. Dying just makes you lose what you caught so no major consequences.
It is kind of neat and could probably work as a full game with some tweaks/additions.
