Slide your net. Catch the fish. Don't catch the trouble. TideWrangler is a fast, friendly arcade fishing game about perfect catches and near misses. Fish drift down the pond โ€” slide your net along the bottom to scoop them up before they slip past. Common fish keep your total climbing, rare golden fish are worth a fortune, and hazards end your run the instant they hit your net. One thumb is all it takes; one mistake is all it costs. THREE WAYS TO PLAY โ€ข Quota โ€” land the target weight before too much slips past. One hazard ends it all. โ€ข Timed โ€” 60 seconds on the clock. Score everything you can. โ€ข Infinite โ€” keep banking points as long as you dare, then cash out before a hazard wipes the run. FOUR DIFFICULTY TIERS From a relaxed Easy paddle to white-knuckle Extreme โ€” faster fish, denser spawns, meaner hazards, tighter margins. Twelve mode-and-tier combinations, each with its own best score to beat. MADE FOR QUICK SESSIONS โ€ข Runs last minutes โ€” perfect for a short break โ€ข One-handed portrait play โ€ข Crisp pixel-art fish and an original chiptune soundtrack โ€ข Plays fully offline โ€” no connection needed โ€ข Available in 15 languages Easy to pick up, hard to put down, impossible to stop at one more run. The pond is waiting โ€” how much can you wrangle?
