Cast your hook as deep as possible into the ocean, then use the tilt controls to reel back as many fish as you can. Finally, use the katana-powered touch technology to slice the scaly fish right out of the sky for maximum gold profit (watch out for the Dynamites).

### 1/5 — Crashes, trashes pay to win

*2026-07-21, version 2.21.1*

This is a dead corpse being drained of its blood.

### 3/5 — App crashing

*2026-06-02, version 2.21.1*

Fun game but the app will not let my buy weight upgrade 5 for the tranquil sea. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Classic game but deprecated and not actually maintained

*2026-05-19, version 2.21.1*

I hate to say that but it crashes all the time and some ads LITERALLY never finish and cant be skipped. Softlocked* by ads… yeah no thanks

### 1/5 — Katana goes back and forth between being purchased and not.

*2026-05-17, version 2.21.1*

Annoyed. I've been playing this since i was a kid i just want the stupid sword

### 1/5 — Constant Crashing

*2026-05-16, version 2.21.1*

Constant Crashing and manipulation tactics. Can't even pay for the ad bonuses. Constant crashing on world map.

### 2/5 — In-game purchase bugs

*2026-05-06, version 2.21.1*

I played this game as a kid. I wanted to play it now because of the nostalgia I want to see all the new fishes and maps.. The game changed a lot, I like the graphics, the classic game style, and the option to do multiplayer.. 
HOWEVER, one major issue I am a little impatient…. so I bought some perks. I bought the $4.99 sword, $1.99 of the 100,000 coins, the diamond driller for $2.99, and another thing I got but it was in the extras section. Anyways, it shows that I own it but when my game crashed and go back to check. My coins are gone and I don’t own anything anymore. I have also read the other comments and other people are having the same trouble as me. I followed the exact steps the developer’s instructions were for this issue.. but I don’t have faith of it. I feel much safer sending a request to Apple for refund instead of this. Rather be safe than sorry.

### 5/5 — One of my very first games

*2026-04-03, version 2.20.0*

One of the first apps I got on my first iPhone and it still bangs over a decade later. I love the ad option for extra gold.

### 5/5 — Sword Issue

*2026-01-28, version 2.10.3*

I love this game but I bought the upgrade sword (ikazuchi?) and started exploding when I cut through dynamite. It is supposed to cut through everything…  I got it cos the last sword did cut through dynamite but took ages to cut through fish at Poseidon. So I wanted to get through it all easier.

### 3/5 — Bug Loja

*2026-01-22*

I love this game, very nostalgic. But there is a bug on the shop, when i try to buy the 400m line the game just crash and closes, i cant advance. Fix this pleaseeeeeeeeee

### 5/5 — Excelente,

*2026-01-02*

Melhor jogo da minha infância, impossível enjoar.
