## What is CatFish?

Hey! What’s up? You look like you could use a little chill out time, and what better way to chill than fishing side by side with cute and funny cats, you know… because cats love fish, right?

But watch out, fishing isn’t always as relaxing as you might think. These things can really put up a struggle when they're fighting for their lives. Although these cats won’t be eating them...because they're vegan of course! (let’s save the environment and all that stuff). Instead, you’ll help them complete an amazing fish collection so you can brag about it to your friends.

There are tons of different fish to collect! But keep a keen eye out because some of them only appear in certain types of weather, so it might be a good idea to keep track of the weather report, that way you can choose the right kind of bait to lure in the fish you need to complete the collection.

So let’s gear up and catch all those slippery little fish before they get away!

HOW TO PLAY:
Gear up, wait for a fish to bite and reel it in playing a fun minigame. They will struggle for sure, so you better be on your game, otherwise, you could lose the fish and maybe even your equipment. Earn experience, level up, unlock stuff and complete your fish collection!

### 4/5 — A Problem With Ads

*2023-08-22*

I remembered this game from my childhood, and was so excited to play it again! One problem is that I noticed the ads seem to be outdated and old, and some of them may have been removed since anytime I try to watch an ad it freezes up my whole screen and stays like it until I completely exit the app and go back. It’s really hard to get gems because of this so I had to go with magnet fishing and hoping for pots of gems. I still love the game but I find it harder to progress with this.

### 2/5 — OMG

*2021-04-14*

If 1⭐️ means don’t download and 5⭐️ means a masterpiece this is a 2⭐️ here’s why (reasons until i hit cap or I run out of complaints)
It has potential to be a good game BUT

0 It’s way too MONEY HUNGRY

1 In order to fish there is a timer

2 the timer get vastly longer each time you fish

3 the upgrades cost too much gold or gems

4 gold and gems are hard to get

5 the mini games don’t give you enough coins and I haven’t gotten a single gem from them

6 you get about 20 coins per fish but the second upgrade is 5,000

7 you can unlock more fishermen but the first one is 80 gems and I’ve gotten a total of three from free to play

8 you have to level up many times before being able to buy new bait but you need to catch a lot of fish just to get one level and I’m only level 6

9 the mini games are fun for 1-2 plays at most

10 you can tap the fish you’ve caught as they move around in a fish tank but they will give you a coin after 5-10 taps and that’s it

11 there are challenges that give you coins but you only get one at a time, the reward is 30-50 coins and the challenge can be something like tap fish 150 times (which is boring) NOT WORTH

12 when you tap a fish it pushes in the direction most opposite of your tap which can push it off screen

13 the art is nice and creative

### 4/5 — It’s fun for the time your fishing but gets super boring when you have

*2020-04-13*

It is fun for the first time fishing and the timer is short but after you catch about 5 more fish the time is about an hour just to wait for something that takes a couple seconds. Overall it’s fun to see the different fish. The legendary fish are fun to catch. I love seeing the cartoon characters and puns for the fish.

### 4/5 — Dear developers,

*2019-08-18*

Hi! I love this game a lot but I dislike that every time you go fishing they make the time longer until you get a fish just stick to one time and one that you don’t have to wait so long! The characters to get a new one are really expensive I would okay if it was 50 diamonds but 80 is a lot! There isn’t a lot to do in this game other than wait or play mini games but those get boring after a while and another thing it would be cool if you view other peoples tanks and rate them I’m looking forward to seeing more updates in the future and I hope you also add more fish and it would be awesome if you could add accessories that you can buy using coins for your fish! I hope you read this and I would LOVE to hear your response on hear or even better in the game!

From, a waiting person.

### 1/5 — Ummm....😒

*2019-07-02*

When I first got this game it seemed really exciting because I thought it would be like a surprise fishing game or whatever. But when I started playing,it told me to swipe up no big deal then it made me do it again I thought the controls were unpleasant which took the three stars out of the five I could have posted, the other one star that could have been added was it was just plain out BORING.😞😢 It was just not the type of games I like. But I gave you one star just for trying and trying to make a good concept of a game. But I liked the graphics which was cute and fun🤪😌. Sorry for being so harsh🥵Hope you don’t take this review too personal because everyone has their opinions.

### 5/5 — I RECOMMEND THIS GAME

*2019-02-18*

Love love love this game for me it is the best game ever if the ratings went up to infinity I would rate it infinity stars who ever made this game should be proud I love all the cute fish whoever made this game is amazing my favorite fish is the toilet paper fish super funny again I love all the cute funny fish also when the cat doesn’t catch a fish or his line brakes he looks so sad and then I feel bad for him also the cat is so so so so cute I also think the music is so good and I Just love the music I Love this game so much I can’t even explain all my love for this because this is not even half of my love for this game!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome but,

*2019-01-27*

I love this game so much! I just got it recently and it’s super fun! It’s very weird and creative, the only thing is that there are some glitches, for example, when I would play a game, I wasn’t able to see my fish or move them, but other wise it is a very fun game and I play it a lot! Also, when I would press pause it wouldn’t let me go back to catching the fish.I had to keep tapping my screen! Thank you for reading and plz fix this soon! 😃

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!

*2018-12-21*

OMG I love this game! This is literally my favorite game ever, and I didn’t even have to pay to play! It’s awesome! I love just watching the fish swim around! Their so cute! I love catching fish because of the excitement that you get when you get a new fish. Though I would really like if the events were longer then 24 hours... other then that this is a GREAT game and I would highly recommend it to others.

### 3/5 — To the Devs

*2018-11-06*

Game is good, cute graphics, I enjoy the aquariums, I also enjoy all my fish dashing across the screen when your logo goes by.

Heads up though, it took me 6 hours of watching ads to hit VIP status. I’m not complaining, but maybe put a limit on the amount of ads you can watch? I binge watched like 380 something ads while playing other games/watching tv, there was no incentive to make purchases to get VIP. 

Also, a typo I found. When you earn VIP, the text goes from saying “earn VIP and collect rewards 2000 left” or something like that, then it says “you’re a vip member, now to and tell YOU’RE friends.”

It should be “your”.

Otherwise, good stuff. Good game.

### 1/5 — Too much tapping and swiping

*2018-10-17*

There is way too much tapping and swiping for no reward in this game. You must do a series of taps and swipes as the game directs on screen to catch a fish. The swiping goes on forever, and hurts your fingers after a while. And even though you preform the series of taps and swipes perfectly your line snaps - every. single. time. It lets you catch one fish during the tutorial and then that’s it, line snaps after that every time and you must watch an ad or purchase more coins with real money in order to repair your broken line. 

This game could be so much fun, but instead it’s ruined by unfair gameplay in the name of greed and poor game mechanics. If these items were fixed it would easily be a five star game. However as it is this game deserves zero stars. Deleted. 

Very highly do not recommend wasting your time on this. There are other - and more fair and fun - cat themed fishing games on the App Store!
