Reel-istic Fishing

Reel-istic Fishing

Made by ToadleyUnderControl

Staff note: 2023 Playdate Community Awards Game of the Year Winner. Collect fish, paddle around, and upgrade tools. This game will get you reel-ly hooked on fishing!

Sink your line to the deepest depths of the Reel-istic Sea, and return to the surface, catching any fish in your way! Unleash those fish into the air, and snipe them with your trusty harpoon!

Sell those fish to fill your ship to the brim with corals, and use those corals to purchase an assortment of upgrades and equipment from your friendly (and suspiciously fish-like) local shopkeep!

Take caution though... you're not the only unstoppable force in these waters.

  • First published 10/10/2023, last updated 08/06/2024.
  • This game's developer created it without the use of generative AI.
  • We think this game is appropriate for everyone. If you do not feel comfortable catching fish, then there is an option to catch plants instead!
  • This game uses the D-pad, A and B buttons, and the crank. Most uses of the crank have a D-pad alternative, but you will need to crank at a medium pace to paddle the boat (there is a fast travel option in the settings to override this).
