Catch N Match
A downloadable game for Windows
Control the catch, not just one fish. Every cast is about mass: surround a whole school in one net, not a single target. You're not aiming at individuals — you're herding schools, deciding what mass enters each net, and converting whole catches into profit before predators break your control. What you catch — and how many species you sweep up at once — drives score, cash, and combo bonuses. Between waves, spend cash in the shop to add prey and predators to your deck and pick Charms that reshape how your catches pay out.
Predators arrive on later days and fight back. Hammerheads scatter schools; tiger sharks hunt your prey. Meet each day's quota across a 15-day run, or lose the reef.
Made for the EdenSpark Mass Control Game Jam.

How to Play
Controls: Mouse only — hold LMB, drag to cast a net, release to close (or cross your own line to snap shut early).
- Everything inside your net is caught at once — bigger hauls mean bigger combo bonuses.
- Beat each day's score quota before the timer runs out. Clear the wave, earn cash, then shop for new species and Charms.
- Build your reef deck across 15 days. Watch out for predators — netting sharks hurts!
Win: Complete all 15 days by hitting each day's quota.
Lose: Fail to meet the quota before time runs out.
Session length: One run ≈ 10–15 minutes.
