This game is absolutely charming. I love the art style, I love the story, and I love how there's always something to do. Even when you finally beat the game and buy every single upgrade (and hat!) there's still more. Great game, 11/10.
It's been a while since I've binged a game, but this is hard to put down. The graphics and mechanics are perfect, very unique premise, and rock solid gameplay.
Incredibly fun and addictive. Content that will keep you busy for quite a few hours if you try to unlock everything. Which is not to say that it's a long game but definitely worth the few bucks it costs!
I would just like to say this is an absolutely amazing game. At first I thoguht it was a fun time waster but it's so much more. The constant upgrading is addictive in a good way and the surprising emotional backstory is awesomw and really adda depth, definitely worth the buy
Still one of the best games you can play on your phone. No premium currency just good old progression and unlocks. Simple but fun and unique premise
Functionally easy to play, and easy pick up and play a few games to waste time shooting fish out the sky with a sick badooka. Would love another game update with more fun content!
Best game on mobile period, has been for a while. My one and only small complaint is I wish they would add a music volume in the options.
Great game, only fault is no volume control for the music. Which is pretty annoying
played it from start to finish. Amazing indie game. Only wish there was updates now in 2019 but it was released a while ago so it makes sense.
A friend's kid was playing the game at birthday party, and he demoed it to me, and I was hooked. The simplest concept is the best.
This game is really fun but the motion controls seem to constantly stop working mid dive and is very frustrating
Super simple gameplay, but with depth. Love the unlockable items.
I loved this game but now it wont load at all. It will show loading screen and then crashes. its too bad because it was an amazing game. Please fix!!!
It was fun, but it doesn't run any more. loading screen for a while, then the game crashes.
The last good game. One time cost, no in app purchase or ads, and fun gameplay.
This is a great game. It is really fun and challenging. If you want to become a fisherman, get thie game.
i really like this game.. honestly i had it back when it was free too. but please add a mute button in the game!!
Very enjoyable, soothing, and brings a new meaning to humor.
i loved the old flash game it, and this brings back old memories, its not quite as good as the old one but its still enjoyable
Its funish, but repetative and grindy, neat easter eggs.
Great for killing sometime. Never had an issues with it. With the cost
Best game, got into it hook line and sinker.
Forgot the name of this game and spent about a month trying to find it but it's so much fun
Very fun, no in-app purchases, well balanced.
Not enough setting its a pain to play on tilt settings...
just like I remember playing the flash version online!
Highly addictive, Ridiculous Fishing is a ridiculous value.
Still the best mobile game I have ever played ever
I can't believe they charged 2.99 for a game I beat in 2 days. Yeah, there's the infinite arcade level, but with only 3 levels to beat and then just the same level over and over, it gets boring pretty fast. I bought this game for a work trip, hoping to have something to play on the planes later this week. unfortunately I beat it before I even left, and now I'm bummed I wasted 3 bucks. if you want a really short game, it's cute and fun. but if you're looking for your new fave game, save your money
