About the Game

While you read, paint, or work, slip into the paws of a striped orange cat.
He dreams of sailing above the fabled rainbow to catch a legendary fish.
His first voyage goes wrong, but a loving Grandpa Cat teaches him to fish and travel.
Be patient: fish to earn, upgrade your gear, and improve your boat.
Even while idling, you'll voyage and meet companions.

Gather supplies — and the occasional piece of sea-trash.
Build a great ship to call home for you and your crew.
Fish every ocean, and witness distant shores and changing climates.

And one day... you will reach the Rainbow Above...
