How to play Captain Cat's Catch

Captain Cat is out at sea with a harpoon launcher that swings left and right under the boat. Fire when it lines up with something valuable, then reel it in. Heavy catches come up slowly, so a big tuna or a sunken chest takes time. Each level lasts 60 seconds. Reach the total money target to move on, and spend your earnings at the harbor shop between levels.

Controls

• ↓ or Space fires the harpoon. ↑ uses a bomb to blow up whatever you're reeling in. P pauses, and Esc is the boss key.
• 2 players: Player 1 fires with S and bombs with W. Player 2 fires with ↓ and bombs with ↑.
• On phones, tap the sea to fire and use the bomb button.

What's in the sea

• Sardines, clownfish, mackerel, squid, octopus and tuna swim around, and the rare golden bream is worth a fortune.
• Pearl clams only give up their pearl while the shell is open. Chests are heavy but valuable. Bottles might hold money, a bomb or super strength.
• Watch out: jellyfish zap your harpoon, pufferfish puff up and cost you money, sharks bite through your line, and sea turtles are protected, so hitting one means a fine.

Harbor shop and Sea Guide

Buy bombs, a power reel, lucky bait, a piercing harpoon that skewers two at once, a shark guard or treasure polish. Every creature you catch is added to the Sea Guide. How many species can you find?
