The Big Catch: Tacklebox

Play as Tackle during his final days of training in this standalone prologue to The Big Catch. A broad desert links areas packed with towers, ruins, and platforming challenges.

Traverse the terrain with momentum-focused moves such as wall-running, jumping, and grappling with your fishing rod. You can also surf across the sand to reach distant areas.

Explore each area to catch elusive fish and gather coins. Look for routes through environmental challenges, find collectibles, and build your total to meet coin requirements.

Players often praise the expressive, momentum-based movement and the satisfaction of learning how to combine its abilities to clear challenging routes. Reviews also frequently highlight the stylized visuals, music, and open desert exploration. Some players find the precision demanding and frustrating, especially when falls mean repeating sections; others wish for clearer guidance, a map, or better collectible tracking.
