There are plenty of different fish lurking about, but the game features very little in the way of animations. Everything is viewed from a side-on perspective and the camera follows your lure down as it is cast into the water. Visually Cat Goes Fishing is as simple as can be with basic 2D sprites for your cat and the variety of fish that can be caught. There are a couple of fish in particular that can make your life very difficult if you don’t know how to deal with them, but we will leave that up to players to discover themselves. Playing in “Realism” mode makes for harder and more satisfying catches, but can also be more frustrating. Here your line can snap if too much tension is placed on it, which is something that every fish you catch will attempt to do. On “Classic” mode this is all you have to worry about, but bumping the difficulty up to “Realism” mode adds an additional twist. Even after hooking a fish, you are not out of the woods yet as bigger fish will take bites from smaller ones that you have hooked if you get too close to them. Things become even trickier in the water as you’ll want to steer your bait away from the fish that you don’t want and towards the ones you do. Casting requires some skill to get the line to go where you want it to be as you have to time each cast correctly. As simple as this is, there are quite a few things that can go wrong along the way. The fish can then be reeled in and sold for money or kept on the line to use as bait. Eventually, the cat will even be able to afford boats that allow it to venture out into deeper water where the biggest and most valuable fish reside.įrom a gameplay perspective, players must cast their lure into the water then attempt to position it in such a way that they hook a fish. These can then be used to unlock new rods, upgrades for the rods as well as consumables that provide once-off benefits. Starting with a very basic fishing rod, players must catch fish to earn money and gain experience. The game appears to be based on a prototype Flash game from a few years back, called Fishing Girl, and features a simple, but very addictive gameplay loop. Cat Goes Fishing by Cat5Games is a casual indie game about a cat catching fishing.
