How it feels

A tranquil desktop companion where you passively watch a pixel-art angler fish in idle calm, rewarding a glance now and then.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming desktop idler that runs in the background, with the pixel-art fisherman automatically casting and reeling. However, many say the content runs shallow: one reviewer reports filling the 130-species codex in 12 hours before finishing the skill tree, leaving only a 1000-fish achievement. Players also ask for a sell-all button and Chinese language support.
