The game where you can parry everything, nukes included, adds its "most requested mechanic": the most violent fishing mini-game on the planet

V.A. Proxy, an upcoming hack and slash devoted to parrying 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the world and everything in it, has answered fan demands to create a fishing mechanic. The mechanic has now been added, but it won﷽'t be like fishing in your favorite cozy game. Based on the clip developer PyroLith shared , V.A. Proxy turns the pensive, lake-side activity into a crime against aquatic vertebrates.

"Finally added THE most requested mechanic," PyroLitಌh said🍒 on Twitter. "You can fish now." 

.

So everything seems normal, at first, as the android starts reeling in their catch. But then, as soon as the fish touches the air, the android hits it like a baseball. The impact triggers the fish to release a sword from its mouth (swordfish, get it?), which you're welcome to parry aཧfter executing a couple fantastic front flips. Upon your success, the fish smashes into nothing. 

That's bඣecause V.A. Proxy's fishing rod is also a weapon,༺ PyroLith explains in . "It works seamlessly with the rest of the weapons and can be used to pull in any small-sized enemy or make the big ones lose balance," they say. 

Since V.A. Proxy apparently allows players to manipulate everything in its ruined robot world — letting🐬 them parry and create — any other kind of fishing mini-game would feel wrong. If you're looking to relax, save it for Stardew. 

This nuke-parrying open-world soulslike got a new update just in time for Steam Next Fest, and now players are pulling off moves its solo dev "can't even begin to understand."
