The fishing loop
Everything in the game follows one loop: explore, cast, fight, sell, upgrade - then do it again in a harder area.
Explore
Steer your boat around Sunny Beach and Rocky Cove. Find where the fish are schooling.
Cast
Drag to aim, release to throw. Skip the lure on the water or bank it off rocks for trick shot bonuses.
Fight
Hold REEL to pull fish in, release when the line is too tight. Harpoon big fish to defeat them faster.
Sell
Dock at the island to sell your catch, buy better rods, reels, lines and a harpoon gun.
Unlock
Save up to unlock Rocky Cove - rare fish and the Reef Tyrant boss wait there.
Built for real gameplay
Physics casting
Angle, power, gravity, drag and bounce are all simulated. Watch the trajectory before you release.
Fish that fight back
Every species has its own speed, strength and stamina. Fish surge, tire and try to escape.
Trick shots & 360s
Bounce the lure off the water or rocks for up to 4x value. Spin a full 360 while aiming for a 1.5x bonus.
Boss fight
The Reef Tyrant patrols Rocky Cove with 340 HP, charge attacks and two rage phases.
Economy & upgrades
Sell fish at the dock, then buy better Rod, Reel, Line, Harpoon Gun and Boat upgrades.
