  • Bait is too expensive compared to the rewards from catching fish, leading to a frustrating grind.

  • monetization
    61 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is a mixed bag, with many players appreciating the optional nature of ads and in-game purchases, allowing for a free-to-play experience. However, several reviews highlight a heavy reliance on watching ads to progress, particularly for acquiring bait, which can become tedious and grindy over time. While some users find the ad frequency manageable, others feel it detracts from the overall enjoyment, labeling it as a cash grab.

    • “Gets very grindy later on, but there are virtually no ads, and any purchases are entirely optional and not required in any way to progress; you can get all the special bait you'd ever need by winning events, and all the cash you'd ever need to join those events by getting the daily bounties.”
    • “You can play it slowly (F2P) or much faster with some in-game purchases.”
    • “This game is addictive and has no advertising.”
    • “You will have to watch a mind-numbing amount of advertisements to play through this game.”
    • “This game really punishes you if you aren't immediately good at it by making you watch ads to get bait to keep fishing, and fish will randomly just take your bait at any time.”
    • “It feels like it's designed to push you into premium currency and ads.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant colors and cartoonish style, contributing to an enjoyable and engaging experience. Many players appreciate the fun visuals and realistic fish designs, although some express concerns about technical issues like freezing. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, enhancing the game's appeal and simplicity.

    • “The graphics are fun, the color is fun, the character and fish are fun.”
    • “There is so much to do, very challenging but not impossible. The graphics are the best; I give it an overall 5 out of 5. It brings simplicity to my life, and I'd like to thank the developers for coming out with a really cool game.”
    • “Awesome graphics, and I love how the fish get stronger every level.”
    • “Terrible graphics which makes it look uninteresting!”
    • “Even though the graphics are simple and that's what gives the game its charisma.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness, accessibility for children, and complexity that keeps adults engaged, making it both fun and addictive. However, some players express concerns about the game's reliance on ads and microtransactions, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game features unique mechanics and enjoyable visuals, particularly appealing to fans of fishing games.

    • “Gameplay is smooth, easy enough for children but complex enough to keep it challenging for adults.”
    • “If you are looking for a fishing game, get this one. It's got good progressive gameplay, fun visuals, and is quite addictive.”
    • “Very addictive gameplay.”
    • “Seems like the game is really trying to push watching ads and buying coins, but the gameplay isn't fun or engaging enough for me to bother.”
    • “Why would someone new want to keep playing if they only got to experience 10 minutes of gameplay before being kicked off and required to wait?”
  • grinding
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when it comes to earning bait and upgrading equipment, many still enjoy the overall fun and engagement it offers. The game is designed to encourage grinding, with limited resources leading to repetitive tasks, but the absence of ads and optional purchases is appreciated. Overall, it serves as a decent time killer, albeit with significant grind-related frustrations.

    • “Update: I've since figured out the game is rigged to force grinding.”
    • “Farming for anything in this game is impossible; it was pretty fun until I didn't have any bait to fish. Literally the whole point of the game, and you run out of bait way too fast.”
    • “Far too much grinding involved.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is engaging and well-crafted, featuring a variety of missions and side quests that enhance the experience. However, some late-game missions rely heavily on random chance, which can lead to frustratingly long waits, and the daily quests lack sufficient impact on the overall narrative.

    • “The game is fun and well-made, but as you progress, some missions feel like random chance and can take a long time.”
    • “There are daily quests, but they don't have enough impact on the overall story.”
    • “The story just ends abruptly.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, user reviews on stability are mixed; while some players appreciate the game's features and graphics, others report significant issues such as freezing and glitches that disrupt gameplay. A few users noted that the game runs smoothly without glitches, indicating that experiences may vary.

    • “Great game, no glitches, and better than it looks.”
    • “The game runs smoothly without any crashes or bugs.”
    • “I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; it really enhances the overall experience.”
    • “I had a game similar to this one from Cool Math, but I had to let it go due to inconsistency and glitches. I'm really enjoying this game and all the things it offers, like equipment and bait, but the stability issues are frustrating.”
    • “Nice game with good graphics and plenty to do, but it's ruined by the fact that it only plays for 5 minutes before it freezes and won't do anything.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally appreciated for enhancing the overall experience, contributing to the realistic fishing atmosphere alongside the graphics. However, some users feel it does not significantly impact gameplay or winning.

    • “The music is nice and adds to the overall experience of the game.”
    • “I really enjoy the realistic fishing feel; the music and graphics are very well done.”
    • “The soundtrack enhances the atmosphere and makes the gameplay even more enjoyable.”
    • “The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I found the soundtrack to be uninspired and forgettable, which detracted from the overall experience.”
    • “The background music feels out of place and doesn't match the game's atmosphere.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the emotional aspect of the game to be somewhat frustrating, as it can take a long time to catch a fish, even when using enticing methods like touching the screen. This prolonged wait may lead to a mix of anticipation and disappointment, impacting the overall emotional engagement with the game.
