Love the game, but it’s broken
I’ve found this game is a really nice way to play something while relaxing. It has a great vibe, and the progression is solid. However, the game is broken for me. I have been trying for an entire week to catch the colorful headdress in the Great Lakes, and it has yet to show up. I’ve been casting at the old camp every day for many days straight and have yet to find it. All of the other progression task items I was able to find in 3-5 casts, and I cant even count the number of casts I’ve made for this headdress. It has completely halted my game progression and I am stuck now. I have no idea how to progress further.

A little confusing but love it!
Love love this game. Have been obsessed since it came out. I’m starting to lose my mind though, HOW do I unlock the chemical plant 😭 I’ve unlocked all islands, no missing fish, completed 75% perfect dna samples.
I’ve also unlocked the shrine but it just says come back tomorrow…but the message hasn’t changed 🫠
ANY help would be greatly appreciated! This game is AMAZING. Thank you for bringing this to Apple Arcade!!!

[Updated Comments] Nice game, could make the lure easier to upgrade
Thanks the developers for the response of previous comments!
I find the number of fish that required to upgrade a lure is a bit too overwhelming. I have lv.4 on my Tuna, but there is no meaningful improvement on the weight of the fish I catch. Every level requires 10x of the level number of fish. I wonder if it is ever possible to upgrade the lure to a meaningful level, even for the common fish, not to mention the rare fish.
=================
Old comments:
Some tasks take forever to finish, such as getting 3 plastic bottles, or get some rare fish. It seems the probability of rare items is too small, which makes the game less relaxing and more tedious. This beats the purpose of this game. Recommend to make all the tasks easier, so that we can enjoy fishing.
The same goes for getting the wood. Cut the required amount by half would be much better.
It would also be super interesting if we can custom the appearance of the fish tanks. Put different decorations, rocks, etc.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Some items and fish are easier to find in specific areas, so exploring different spots can make a big difference. Progression and building are also intended to take some time, but we’ll keep an eye on how relaxing the experience feels. We really like your aquarium customization idea!
Fun game, but the real time aspect makes it frustrating.
The game is a lot of fun. I like the graphics and the little humorous touches. That said, I'm finding myself somewhat frustrated with the real time nature of the game, particularly when it comes to advancement. I've been stuck on Great Lakes for several days, because a) I needed to level up before I could actually manage to catch the monster, fine. But b) that monster only appears to be available in the early morning (despite its shadow showing up at all times of the day), and that's not usually when I'm playing games. So I'll go through an entire day, set myself up for getting it the next morning, and then not have time to do it before that early morning period is over. So I'm stuck here and I can't get to the next area yet. It's frustrating. I'm not a fan of games that make me play them on their schedule rather than working on my schedule.

Don’t confuse this with Dredge
The trailers give an impression that this will be similar to the dark haunted themes of Dredge. It instead is more like an Animal Crossing fishing game, complete with seasonal fish and real time day/night cycles.
The Apple Arcade version is a modified version of the normal version but with the premium gems and real money purchases removed. But it still has a lot of the daily grind and progression that slows dramatically after the first few levels. Heck, I found treasure chests with the premium gems that I can’t actually use and instead are effectively worthless.
The fishing is very much like Animal Crossing. Find a fish shadow and tap when they bite. Harder fish have a mini game to reel them in that gets pretty tiresome and needlessly tedious and drawn out.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We understand your concerns about progression and the fishing minigame. Could you please tell us which treasure chest gave you premium gems that you couldn’t use? This will help us investigate the issue.

Fishing has always been my favorite part about any video game so trust me when I say this game is calming yet exiting and engaging. I can’t recommend this game enough!
Awesome sauce
So addicting, especially when you’re the kind of person who loves collecting and or finishing collections. Lots of quests, everything is pretty unique and it’s even sometimes pretty challenging. Would 100% recommend. Was so refreshing to play after mind numbing Roblox games that I played the game for like three days straight!!

This is going to be a great day
Getting nothing gets no stars but getting shredder gets five stars
Amazing game!!
It’s easy enough that I can relax and play but difficult enough that I don’t get bored
I’m hooked
Fun game, easy pace and good progress.

An experience no less no more
While I saw a lot of extremely angry comments comparing this game to DREDGE, I disagree that they’re anywhere NEAR valid to be this critical. The game has its problems, and it apparently being too close to dredge is the least of them, trust me.
PROS:
The art style is genuinely nice.
The game’s optimization is good, but my device still heats up enough to keep me warm on a winter day.
Fish wobbles.
CONS:
The game has a visible scar in the place where “pay to fast” mechanics were originally. It is incredibly hard to grind coins, and the revenue you get vs the money you HAVE to spend makes it easy to see that the coins income was originally intended for buying cheap products mostly.
Writing dryer than the Death Valley. Missing periods and words clipping inside each other.
All in all, I’d rather go play DREDGE because it’s more polished, less grindy and way more engaging. (To those who will say I am just not the target audience or something - nah, I have 550 hours in sneaky Sasquatch and 166 in what the car, and this game is just boring.)

Cute and fun to play
This game has super cute graphics and pretty colors. It’s fun to play.
Fun, but slow moving
I’ve enjoyed the game so far. Great graphics and cozy feel. However, time moves too slowly and most supplies only spawn once per day. With the majority of building materials needed to move on and amount of money necessary to build new areas/buy new fishing supplies/upgrades, it’s very difficult to enjoy for more than a short bit of time.

Just plane pure heart fun
Amazing little game to kill time
Its good
I’m ts great but the realing and karma are not safe
Fun and relaxing
My only comment is that I’d like a little more differentiation when a fish bites. It’s a little un-fun to miss so much even with the old folks’ rod in a game that’s really enjoyable.
Love this game
Please add controller support
Quick access to home island
I like this game I just wish there was a quicker way to get back to the home island other thank driving back to the helicopter
Fishing fun.
I love this game.
