Fishing On My Desktop

I think this game would have benefitted more if the tutorial of the game explained things a little bit better. If you can over look the fact that this game uses AI images in it, it actually isn't bad. I would recommend this game for anyone that loves a good fishing idle game.

(6/10) OK

A simple idle game that requires your attention every few minutes. It takes the form of a small icon on the screen, and when it starts flashing, you need to click on it to catch a fish. The icon keeps flashing until you click on it, so you won't miss anything.

The fish you catch need to be sold so you can buy bait. Different types of bait attract different fish, but you can also fish without bait, although it takes an incredibly long time for a fish to bite. Strangely, the same happens with universal bait, which appears to be broken because it takes even longer than fishing without any bait at all.

Other locations can be accessed by right-clicking on the fishing icon. The fish stall where you sell your catch, the shop where you buy new equipment, and your home are all available from the start. Your home doesn't serve any real purpose except letting you look at an aquarium where you can place the fish you've caught.

There are also other fishing spots besides the starting lake, but they only become available later. Sadly, there's quite a bit of grinding involved, just like in any idle game. Unless you're lucky, fish sell for very little, and if you want to catch them without wasting time, you'll have to spend that money on bait. It takes hours before you can afford a new fishing rod that lets you catch bigger fish, and an endless number of hours to get the auto fishing machine, which feels pointless because by then you've already spent so much time that you've seen everything the game has to offer.
