Idle Fishing

Be warned: this is not an idle game anymore.

This game always had some active play required, but even active catch was possible with autoclicker and seagulls also required quite some time to fill what you can release.

But then the excavation arrived. Why? no clue, this isnt even fishing related, not really related to the main theme of the game. The worst part is however, that you need resources for the excevation, which generates over time. That alone would be fine, but there is a cap how many tools you can own at the same time.

This cap could be increased by talent (owning 60% of all the upgrades for it already) and by pets (owning all 3 pets with all extra tool cap upgrades) and the cap is reached already in less than 5 mins, so you need to check the game and play every 5 minute. Without the upgrades or pets you need to play excavations every minute. GL. For the achievements (which also boost your progress ingame with +% stuffs with each unlocked achievements) you need hell lot of excavations. Offline progress lost its meaning. Very active play required in this "idle" game.

I dont like when a mostly idle game goes into a hardcore active play game, there is my review is negative.

I was enjoying the game until I found out it uses mostly AI generated ""art"" as icons and other graphic elements. Heck, I even spent money in this game, but I refuse to condone such a thing. The game itself is great, but I cannot allow myself to help normalize the use of such crap. Monetizing content that was made using a tool that was developed by stealing real content from countless people should not even be allowed, regardless of the circumstances.

Started out good, as a nice relaxing idle fishing game.

Unfortunately things changed quickly, first to premium currency to change appearance of crew, and lastest gimmick is precision mini-games that doesn't work properly, and have no explanation what-so-ever.
Seems the dev forgot that fishing is about relaxation, not stressing over buggy mini-games.
