How to Play: Goal: catch fish, sell them at the Market and rebuild your fishing village, then hunt the legendary creatures of the deep. On every dive, sink your hook, fight the fish that bite and go UP before your line snaps — a snapped line loses the catch on it.

Desktop:

• S / Down arrow (or hold the left mouse button): sink
• W / Up arrow: rise
• A / D or mouse: move the hook left and right
• Space or left click: fight — tap while the line is GREEN, never on RED
• E or the UP button: reel in and keep your catch
• H: harpoon (against sharks)
• P or Esc: pause

Mobile (landscape):

• Hold your finger on the screen: the hook sinks and follows your finger
• Tap: fight — tap while the line is GREEN, never on RED
• UP button: reel in and keep your catch

Hlbina (Slovak for "the deep") is a push-your-luck fishing game in cozy pixel art.

Lower your hook from a small fishing village into ever darker water: from the sunny Shallows and the Reefs through the Twilight and Midnight zones down to the pitch-black Abyss. Deeper fish are worth more, but every fish on the line and every metre of depth pulls on it. Push too far and the line snaps — and your catch is gone. Go UP in time and everything you caught is safe.

When a fish bites, fight it in rhythm: tap on the green beat, never on red.

Sell your catch at the Market and rebuild the village: the Workshop for stronger lines, rods and hooks, the Bait Shop, the Weather Station, the Lighthouse that opens the deepest zones, the Tavern with tips and quests, and an Aquarium for your trophies. Weather, time of day and the moon change what bites where.

Hunt legendary creatures like the Storm King, the Golden Eel and the Abyss Guardian, explore a second fishing spot — a flooded nuclear lake with its own strange fish — and test your nerve in the Endless Deep.
