## About CatPhish

You swipe through fish profiles, each with a name, a face and a dubious bio, then tap out messages in time to hook them; landed fish flop into a physics pile at the bottom of the screen. Rarer fish, from Common up to Legendary, bring bigger hauls.

Upgrades add chatbots, burner phones and lures until you're juggling five phones and triggering fish rain. It's built to finish in about 15 minutes, which makes it an easy pick for anyone who likes silly jokes and a fast incremental curve.
