OUR FIRST QUEST!! Plus: Eight new waters, 800 species, a magpie's sorting game, a four-hatted octopus and an alpha a day. Tight lines, angler.
Pixel Reel is a cozy idle fishing adventure with real multiplayer heart. Land your first bluegill in seconds, then spend weeks chasing Starry legends, raising rare pets, building your own pond, and climbing the weekly tournament hiscores.
CAST, CATCH, COLLECT
• 800 species across 32 wild waters, from Willow Pond to lava-lit Volcano Springs, the Uncharted Waters and the blood-red deep beyond
• Every species has a rare STARRY form worth 30x the payout. Complete the Fishdex, then start on the Starrydex
• Skill matters: perfect reels, snap gauges, deep casts, and a Megalodon that takes 20 seconds of pure fight to land
• Blind ice fishing past the Uncharted Waters, where you land the catch by feel alone
• Boat trips, mob fishing and fish frenzies for the high-intensity sessions
ALPHAS AND THE BOSS BASH
• Over twenty alphas, each with its own fight mechanic and its own pet to win
• Run the Boss Bash ladder: alpha after alpha, cash out or push your luck
• Old alphas roam the blood waters, so no fight is ever truly behind you
FISH TOGETHER
• Live lagoons where real players fish side by side, with overhead chat, name tags and pets in tow
• Lagoo Ness surfaces on a schedule. First to forty taps wins, and she just might leave a hatchling behind
• Weekly tournaments with rotating events and podium prizes, some of them looks given out once, ever
• Global hiscores. Every catch counts
• Add friends, visit their ponds, and invite them into your lagoon
YOUR OWN POND
• Blueprints surface on the line. Build a pond that is yours: decks, lanterns, benches, trees, an aquarium
• Open it to everyone or lock it to your friends
EARN WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
• Your Auto-Net keeps fishing when you close the app
• Daily streak chests grow with your journey. Keep the streak alive and the loot scales to your farthest waters
• Upgrade rods, lines, lures, nets, reels and boats to push deeper
DRESS THE PART
• Twenty-five rare looks, each with a trail and eight idle tricks of its own, taken from the shelf or found one catch in thirty thousand
• Treasure Trails: follow clue scrolls to caskets full of looks, lines and bobbers
• Pets follow you everywhere: a pal for every water, an alpha's pet if you are lucky, and a few you will have to earn
A LOVE LETTER TO THE COZY GRIND
Over a hundred tracks of old-school soundtrack, clue-scroll treasure hunts, 1-in-10,000 pet drops, and one impossibly rare rod (1 in 36,000, will you be the one?). If you grew up on classic fishing skills and pixel adventures, you are home.
Catch every species in-game today. Includes ads and optional in-app purchases.
Your first cast is seconds away. The Leviathan is waiting.
Game is really fun and easy to play. The dev is insanely active he is pushing out updates nearly daily and most is based off player feedback. The game has afk elements, bosses, multiplayer and a ton of cool things to grind for. Also no pay to win junk involved. Optional cosmetics to buy and an ad removal option. Super excited to see where the game goes. PS. Fish are dumb.

Great game to start but feel like it’s heading to predatory territory.Since last update and moving through ranks, no matter how I rank I have to constantly beating on my phone just to reel in fish.What started as a great game has turned into a terrible game. Between the insane grind to get anywhere without spending money to rank at all to the insane difficulty once you get a certain point.I will not be purchasing any more passes which in itself a stingy experience which only allows to accumulate only so much in one day. Even games like Call of Duty don’t even do that.Something has gone completely wrong and will not be speeding anymore time with this game. It’s a real shame
Developer Response
Hey there! Sorry to hear this and hope you’ll reconsider! Couple things to cover here:1. If you updated to iOS 27, that’s likely why your fishing experience has gotten worse. iOS 27 just released yesterday and I’m catching the game up to compatibility with that version of iOS. The taps are slower on iOS 27 and therefore fishing is “harder”.2. As for the insane difficulty, the game actually has an exponential XP/coin progression alongside locations — so the later locations actually become a lot easier than the earlier ones? Again, hope you’ll reconsider this view! This game is 110% NOT P2W.3. As for the pass, I heard the feedback on only being able to get one level per day. This is my first game and I am not getting all of the things right — but I am fixing all of my mistakes. In the next update I am unlocking pass levels to as many as you can grind for in a day. Apple just hasn’t reviewed the update in days now.4. The only IAP I have ADDED to the game have been things that multiple users have requested. Requested Skins (Looks), and the Battle Pass, “so that they can support the games growth”, their words not mine. That’s literally it. This is not and will not become a predatory game.Again, hope you’ll comeback to Pixel Reel! And hope you’ll reconsider your review. Thanks boss!
This game won’t disappoint

Thank you for the amazing feedback! We are working hard to bring an amazing experience to all of our users, and we are glad you think we are doing a great job. Thanks for being a part of the Pixel Reel community!
OUR FIRST QUEST - THE CURSED TIDE: It starts with a fish on the grass and ends in Saltwick, a harbour town of shops, tide pools and hoarders. See it through and the town is yours for good.
NEW WATERS: Eight waters past the Uncharted - Blood Cathedral, Stormcrown, Frostveil Shelf, The Long Drift, Glimmerdark, and now Ashfall Reach, The Gilt Deep and The Hush. 800 species in all. Out there the coins run red: unlock Uncharted Waters and the game turns over to Blood Money.
BLIND ICE FISHING: From Blood Cathedral on, the water freezes over. Tap the hole, hold, and feel for a fish you cannot see.
PIP AND THE SORT: A magpie sorting master lives in Wick's hoard. Clear his shelves against the clock, chain them for combos, and spend Shinies on five looks, two pals, a charm and a doubler.
THE DREDGE: Three hauls a day off Wick's dredge line.
SIR INKWELL: Four hats surface off the Saltwick dock. Forty taps a head, gems every tenth tap, and a pal for whoever lands the last one.
ALPHA-O-MEGA: One alpha a day, announced. Beat it and the waters stay hot for ten minutes - and they now pay like your furthest water.
TWO NEW RANKS: Deathless and Worldsend.
ANGLER PASS: The ladder no longer ends. Every prestige tier pays a free gift of coins and 200 gems.
ALSO: Tackle loadouts, reworked achievements, a settings wheel on the Saltwick dock, and boat trips, mob fishing and the Auto-Net now pay your best water wherever you fish them. Faster, truer taps on the newest version of iOS.
Tight lines, angler.
