About Hook, Line, and Spelunker

A roguelike where your only weapon at hand is a fishing rod. Classic roguelike gameplay with the twist of being able to lure enemies toward your bait instead of you. Attack them while they're eating for a critical hit! Explore the caves to find magic lures that provide unique game-changing abilities. Make your way to the surface to win!

You are a brave fisherman — more like a fisher-lad — too brave for his own good. You had the foolhardy idea to venture into the sewers to catch the giant fish rumored to lurk within. But with one careless slip, you fell into the dark depths. You find yourself in the Deep Undersewer, an ancient cave system forgotten by many.
