Cornerpond

Great little desktop app. Love collecting the fish. Just needs a aquarium and would be perfect.

In some ways, Cornerpond is nothing like real fishing. At one point, using nothing but a fishing rod and a worm as bait, I hauled a 2,000 pound beluga whale out of the Arctic and then sold it within seconds in an illegal whale meat market. But in other ways, the game manages to evoke strangely real and familiar emotions. Once, in the middle of answering an email, a chirp alerted me that a real whopper was on the line. A meter indicated it would take 900 clicks to successfully reel it in. This was a massive fish—an absolute barn door. I knew my rod wasn’t upgraded enough for the fight, but I clicked as quickly as I could anyway. As the leviathan slipped away, I found myself crunching numbers to see how much I’d need to gear up to nab the beast if and when I meet him again. "That bastard’s not gonna catch me slipping next time," I mused. One minute I was appending “Best, Ryan” to a Gmail draft, and the next I’d gone full Captain Ahab. TL;DR great game buy it

I hope this game never stops receiving updates. This is a peak idle game, and I've played hundreds of them. I 100% recommend.
