The beginning of the game makes it seem like there’s an objective; to catch a whale. But it’s nearly impossible. You have to use your gold to buy all of these upgrades, but they’re very expensive, and it’s not easy to get enough gold for anything, once you’re far enough into the game. It’s also extremely difficult to catch anything other than one and two start fish. One star fish are far too common, and will always snag the bait before anything else gets a chance to get it. You can buy things to equip, but you’re wasting thousands of gold on something that’s a one time use, and not even guaranteed to work. I enjoyed playing the game at first, but now that I’ve made more progress, it is just far too difficult to obtain anything at all, and I just feel like deleting it. There is only one thing that comes easy in this game; ads.

Lot more stressful then you think. This free game is just not worth it. Starting off is rough because you have to upgrade your bait in order to catch bigger fish. In order to “level up” your bait you have to use smaller fish to use as bait. Once upgraded you can catch bigger fish only to find out your rod isn’t high enough level. Sometimes a smaller fish you didn’t want will get caught and your bait that you worked to upgrade is now gone. Good thing you can spend in-game currency to buy lures to avoid the smaller fish but if you try to catch too big of a fish that bait and lure is now wasted. It’s also really difficult to earn in-game currency. You only get money for selling the fish but you can’t sell the fish if you use it as bait, so essentially it becomes a cycle of trying to get better bait to catch bigger fish but only catch the small ones to use as bait again. The only real way to earn in-game currency is by watching ads.

It’s a really nice looking game and the simple controls are nice for a mobile game I don’t care so much about ads as the actual progression in the game by this I mean it’s just too difficult to catch anything higher than a common fish because the common fish are everywhere at basically the surface of the water and even when you upgrade your bait the common fish still can latch on. Either lower the spawn rate for the common fish or make it so only certain fish go after baited hooks (depending on how upgraded the bait is and how high level the fish is) I really like the game but it’s far too frustrating at the moment. Hopefully these issues are fixed because I’d love to continue playing it
