How It Plays
- Physics-based: fishing mechanics behave realistically — you need to learn the timing and technique, not just point and click.
- 1-4 players: play solo or with friends in co-op.
- At its core: a casual, indie, simulation game with a light, humorous tone.
What You Need to Know to Start
1. It's a learning game
The name is literal — the whole game is about learning how to fish. Expect core mechanics around casting, timing, and reeling.
2. It's casual and physics-driven
Not a hardcore sim. It leans casual and indie, focused on the fun of physics-based fishing.
3. Play alone or with friends
Up to 4 players, so it works as a relaxing co-op title.
Content Note
The developers describe the content like this:
This game includes cartoon violence towards fish and gambling with fish (no real money).
Getting Started
