About Scale the Depths
You steer a sinking hook left and right and ram fish until they are caught, then clean them at a scaling station and feed them to the customer, who pays once full. The money buys upgrades for your knife, fishing line and hook.
The jam theme was 'Built to Scale', and the team played on both meanings of scaling. It made the top 20 in GMTK's jam video and has since grown into a full Steam release, so the free browser build is a good way to try it.
