CatPhish





CatPhish is a short, juicy incremental about phishing on fish-tinder. Swipe right, tap out a flirty message, and watch your conversations stack up while the catch flops onto the dock in a satisfying physics-y pile. And then eat 'em!

Things start small, a single phone, a few clumsy chats. By the end, you're running five phones, auto-typing pickup lines at superhuman (fish) speed, and triggering fish rain from the sky.
What you actually do
- Swipe through a tide of suspiciously thirsty fish, every one with a name, a face, and a deeply questionable bio.
- Type your way through chats. Miss the rhythm and they swim away.
- Hook them and watch the fish flop into a glorious squishy pile at the bottom of the screen.
- Hunt Rare Fish. Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary the rarer the fish, the shinier the card and the bigger the haul.
Upgrades, Upgrades, Automate
- Chatbot, Smooth Opener, Robo-Fin: automate every part of the seduction. Sit back. Let the script do the work.
- Burner Phone, Double Screen: swipe on multiple phones at once, juggle a comical pile of simultaneous conversations.
- Pheromones, Silver Tongue, Super-like: turn yourself into an irresistible chat machine.
- Golden Lure, School of Fish, Fat Catch: bend the rarity tables until Legendaries feel routine.
- Caffeine Drip, Fish Rain, Left Flopping: the late-game crazy tier, where the screen becomes a fish storm.
PLEASE PLAY IT
- Built to be finished in one, roughly, 15min session.
- Hundreds of absurd fish names hand-written by "people" who love game development.
- Physics, foil cards, and a bunch of fish flopping at your toes.
Free. Plays in the browser. No catch. (Lots of fish.)

Nice fartman! You're going to be the top of the leader board when that updates
This game is a delight. Just long enough to feel like you got a full experience.
Thank you so much!
OH MY GOODNESS!! Towards the end it was very chaotic, but it was fun, nonetheless. Very charming and I would love to see more projects from this studio! My playthrough went swimmingly well.
More are coming, stay tuned! Next game will be longer + bigger, and we're working on a small update for catphish as well. :)
So fun to play and works great on Mac browser!! Though I do feel sad for the fish victims!
Ah! Don't worry, they're all just paid actors
Pretty fun game. Wasn't too short and wasn't too long to the point it overstayed its welcome. Only thing I was missing was a way to automate fish going into the catfish early on but honestly, the game is so short and towards the end the fish become to plentiful that they shove themselves into the catfish so not a huge deal.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback
The sheer speed at the end is hilarious! At first I was a bit annoyed squinting trying to see the letters, but it wasn't long til the upgrades made my head swim XD Thanks!
Hm, we'll make the default screen size larger, so it's easier to see on small screens in the browser. Until then, fullscreen is the best option!
A couple of words, tablet support sucks,
but the game is intuitive and (insert fun word slop)
It's fun :)
What doesn't work with tablet support? I've never used it at all. Maybe we can fix it up and patch the game
If you go into fullscreen with web it goes portrait mode and its very hard to press the keys with tap
do you have a high quality version of the tab icon? I'm making steamgriddb assets
Sure, I shoot us an email at hello@house.horse.
absolute awesome game omg im in love
Thank you Abby!
i feel like when a baby watches cocomelon (overstimulated but i liked it)

Ah, you can use the mouse as well. Thanks for playing :]

I've been trying to reach out to the developers of the game with a business offer. Could you please share the appropriate contact information? ^^
Any business inquiries can be sent to hello@house.horse. Cheers!

We'll make a leaderboard so you can compete and submit your time. Thanks!
