What they can do

Your audience decides what bites

Effects ready to map to gifts, rewards or chat commands.

The water

Creatures and bosses

82 summonable creatures and items, one per tile: from a lone piranha to the mutated whale with 38,000 health.

  • One command per creature, with a count
  • Swarms and rare drip variants
  • 11 bosses and minibosses with their health bar and music

The angler

Vitals and rules

Health, hunger, poison and fire, plus the rules of the run: invulnerable, one-hit kills, or the whole difficulty flipped.

  • Heal, hurt, poison, set on fire
  • God mode and one shot, on a timer
  • Shoves, teleports and earthquakes

The expedition

Islands and boat

The six islands and the boat are in chat's hands: hop islands, gift the motor, or send your boat to the horizon.

  • Hop, unlock or go back an island
  • Free boat, radar, motor and grill
  • Send the boat away or call it right over

The shared pot

Money and gear

Money is shared, so chat can fund your next rod — or clean you out right before you buy it.

  • Give or steal from the pot
  • Sell the catch and pull the slots
  • Dump the inventory and swap the bait
PLATFORMS

Connect where you stream

COMPATIBILITY

Works with your Steam copy

Powered by BepInEx 6 (Unity.Mono), the mod loader for modern Unity games. The mod connects to the app over a local socket and runs each command inside the game.

Good to know

  • The app installs BepInEx and the OverInteractive plugin for you.
  • In co-op you have to be the one hosting: the game gives the host the final say, and commands that change the world only run there.
  • In single player you are always the host, so there is nothing to set up.
  • Removable at any time: uninstalling from the app removes the mod. BepInEx stays in the folder and, with no mods, the game runs as always.
