Chill & Reel puts you in control of an alligator fisherman in a low-pressure idle game designed to run passively while you work or study. The game emphasizes atmospheric animations and a relaxing loop rather than aggressive progression, making it an undemanding background companion that rewards you for simply leaving it running.

A little gem in the vast sea of idle games, I really enjoy the loop here. Keep up the good work!

really chill. I need more achievements, and maybe dev should add interact from player to the aligator for fun. Recommend this game

A really good companion to keep running in the background while working, rushing deadlines, sitting through online meetings, or even getting yelled at by the boss 😅
I also keep it running when relaxing or listening to music at home.

Feedback Fixes Update

34 days ago
Thanks for the feedback! This update includes a couple of fixes based on recent player reports: - Skin unlock condition popups now remain visible even after the condition has been completed, so players can still check what they achieved to unlock each skin. - Fixed an issue where fish caught in one map could still be sold from another map through the showcase, which allowed money to be transferred between maps. Please let us know if you run into any other issues. Thank you for playing Chill & Reel!
