Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Classic 8-bit style meshes with innovative and modern gameplay in this downright irresistible fishing game. A product of some of the best minds in iOS design, these App Store all-stars deliver a unique and twisted take on fishing that had us feverishly tilting, tapping, and swiping to catch and blast hundreds of fish. With gorgeously raw visuals, delightful music, and loads of unlockables, Ridiculous Fishing is truly remarkable.
Still Playable!
This app needs an update for sure, but you can progress through the game.
I am running an iPhone XS and have gotten far in this game.
Issues:
- Scaling: fish and fisherman are small
- Backgrounds for phone / Fishopedia / Byrdr are unscaled (text is more readable in some of the locales than others depending on the different sky colors)
- Money and gas meter are very small
- Money meter is in the top middle of the screen instead of the far right
- Shop screen is correct scale but the “buy/equip” button is invisible (you can still touch the area under the shop items, about 1/3 from the right, to buy things)
- Store prices are partially obstructed by store items. (You can drag the first and second item columns down to better see the price)
The game mechanics still work! With a little poking around on the store screen, you can buy things that you can afford and make progress. I am nearly finished with the game, in the endgame (5/6 achievements) and working on getting the expensive store items.
Good luck, and I hope Vlambeer updates this great, CLASSIC iOS game!
Best Fishing Game on the App Store
I have spent over $1,000 in games for iOS, and I can say with confidence that I regret 99% of my purchases. This game, however, from the moment I bought it and up to today, has always been worth it. It combines a unique approach to iOS games that rely on movement of your phone with a story that will make you laugh and cry. The story is emotional and well told, but also completely unessential to the gameplay. If you just want that high score, you don’t have to pay attention to the story, because it doesn’t matter! If you want it though, the story is there for you, with it’s loving message about family and redemption. I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a realistic fishing game, but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to play a fun game that combines the most essential parts of life: fishing, hunting, and family.
P.S.
There are many clones of this game, please don’t buy them. Ridiculous Fishing was made by the original developers of Radical Fishing, the first game that combined fishing with throwing fish in the air and shooting them. This is the original game, don’t pay for clones!
