THE RIVER IS OPEN

Six casts.
Make them your own.

The boat moves across the river. Wait until a fish is beneath the marker, then drop your line. Each species carries its own score.

THE WATERSIDE COLLECTION

Every fish
has its own character.

From a familiar flash in the shallows to an armoured trophy, all fourteen illustrated fish are part of the playable pool.

This is a fictional game collection. Species, tiers and point values describe the game, not a real Australian fishing location or ecological survey.

READ THE WATER

A good cast begins
before you press.

There is no countdown pushing you forwards. Give the boat a moment to arrive at the right position, then let the line do its work.

01

Watch the marker.

The pale marker beneath the boat shows the path of the hook. A fish directly below that path is a better target than one just ahead of the bow.

02

Choose your moment.

Press Drop Hook, Space or Enter. The original game freezes the boat for an 880 ms hook drop and checks the nearest fish within ten lane units.

03

Build a clean sequence.

Consecutive catches add a small streak bonus. An empty cast resets the streak but keeps the points already earned. You still finish all six casts.

Use SAVE after the sixth drop to keep a name and score on this device. The journal reads the same five-entry local board as the original game.

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME

Not every visit
needs a new record.

A short run can be enough. Look for one species you have not caught, try a quieter moment between casts, or browse the atlas without starting a game. The water will still be here when you return.

Dovaleri is an independent browser fishing experience. It uses a fictional mixed-species river and a simple alignment mechanic, leaving real-world fishing advice and regulations outside the game.

NOTES FROM THE BANK

Before you lower the line.

What makes a catch successful?

Press the cast button when the marker beneath the boat is close to a fish. The boat stops during the cast, and the hook follows that vertical line. If no fish is within range, the hook returns empty.

How many attempts do I get?

Every voyage has six hook drops. After the sixth, open the final score panel to save the result or start another voyage. A miss uses one drop and resets the streak.

Can every fish in the atlas appear?

Yes. The original game draws five fish using its common, midwater, rare and trophy probabilities. A caught fish leaves the scene; the school refills when fewer than four remain.

How does the streak bonus work?

A catch earns its species value, an alignment bonus of up to 80 points and a streak bonus. Consecutive catches add 26, 52, 78, 104 and then at most 130 streak points. A miss resets the streak.

Are my results shared with other visitors?

No. The original game writes a score only when you press SAVE in its final panel. It keeps the five highest scores in this browser. The journal page can clear that board.

Do I need an email address to play?

No. Start a run directly from this page. Contact details are only used if you choose to prepare a message through the contact desk.
