Many have said this is a kids game & not thrilling enough for adults, but I really enjoyed playing it. The game itself is a simple catch fish kind of game, with added obstacles & targets to meet. True it's not that "thrilling", but it is great if u want a nice, relaxing game instead of the intensely challenging games.
I recommend this game!

This is one of those games that you download just to see what it is like, but then I was playing & was like "OH NO" when my free hour was up and had to go and buy it right away!!!

Yes, it does get frustrating when your fishing and a bird drops a brick into your boat & your boat springs a leak or a pelican steels your fish or a shark drags your boat across the lake to the other side, but I thought that was some of the fun from this game....If it wasn't kinda hard, it would be just like a fishing Gold Miner game...I JUST LOVED THIS GAME & WAS HAPPY I TRIED IT OUT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE MISSED OUT ON A FUN GAME! Enjoy & have a good day!! Show less

Biggest trick is timing it right to drop your line. Most important part is making sure your boat is underneath the fish you caught so it lands in the boat and not back in the water.
Everyone could get into this. Pretty fun game.

This stunning game is wholly original and highly engaging. It's like an arcade, TM hybrid? TM only because you're racing against a clock. There are 3 worlds with 38 super levels. Each super level consists of 3-4 games/tournaments where you have to catch as much fish as you can within the allotted time while evading all kinds of predators and dangers. You're either competing against an opponent, "racing" against many opponents or seeing how much fish you can catch withing the time frame. Can you get Platinum on all levels? Play this highly engaging and sometimes frustrating game and find out.
TIPS:
- Focus on collecting as much coins as you can in early levels and skip some purchases until you have enough coins to get the better ones. Once you've "sold out" in the store, then you can focus on more challenging quests using the best fishing lures and boats. Cause now, you don't care to gain coins and you can just win the quests.
- Once the above is accomplished, it's best to often stay by your docking station end where you offload your fish. It serves as a shield against some dangers. This is easier to do once you've already focused on collecting coins and upgrading all your gear to the max.
Once I did these, I aced through the game and the more frustrating levels were drastically less so. Highly recommend this game! Also check out Bee Garden for another original game. Show less

I normally play time management games so I didn't think I'd like this but I did! Can get challenging as others have mentioned but this makes it fun. You can work your way up to gold and platinum trophies.
I recommend this game!

As others have said, you are in a fishing tournament and you get points/money based on how many fish you catch. That sounds easy enough, but at times, to me, it was highly annoying. That darn birds snatched most of my fish (I guess I hadn't gotten the swing of using my mouse correctly to catch the fish). What's more, there are other enemies you have to battle in order to catch fish.
I think some developers of games, in an attempt to make a game challenging, go a little to far. Even though I enjoyed the game, sometimes, especially with those darn birds, it would make me a bit frustrated. Also, there are other things you have to battle as well, and all at the same time!
Anyway, I would recommend this game if you have patience. Show less

Normally i do not like this type of game, but this one kept my interest enough to purchase it! Challenging goals that are obtainable with a little skill and a lot of luck! gameplay changes as you go along so it does not get too repetitive.
I recommend this game!
