I tried to play this and couldn't cast my line. It said to release the space bar at desired power, but, I had already released the space bar? Not sure what is going on, but couldn't play. I tried like 4 times, reloading the game and trying to cast over and over.. It looks like an interesting game though. I really wanted to try it out.

Oh sorry I had a system that had it where it said to open the tacklebox first before you cast so you can select the bait but when i was preparing the game some stuff started having issues; theres a few bugs i gotta iron out still but thanks for playing

Oh I completely forgot I could change the bait! Oops, didn't realize that until I saw the page's instructions and remembered. In my play through I hit an error when encountering the boss. I know it was the boss because it gave the following error:

Error

fishingsystem.lua:890: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'horrorLevel' (a nil value)
