Fishing and Life

A calm fishing game

Fishing and Life is a fishing game built around simple controls and a quiet seaside setting. You take a small boat out to catch fish, sharks and whales while the scenery changes through sunrise, sunset, moonlight and night. It suits players looking for a slower sports game rather than a fast, reaction-heavy challenge.

What you can do

• Cast for different kinds of fish, including larger sea creatures.
• Travel farther from shore with different boats.
• Keep caught fish in an aquarium for viewing.
• Change the character’s clothing.
• Fish while listening to wave sounds designed to provide a relaxing atmosphere.

More than a solo fishing trip

The game also includes a feature for locating fish underwater and a season pass. A 100-player survival mode adds a more competitive option, with anglers competing until one remains. That gives the app a wider range than its peaceful presentation suggests: it can work for quiet play, but also offers a group-based challenge.
