About

Pondkeeper

Features
Read full description

Pondkeeper is a relaxing offline fishing game about timing, control, and the thrill of a bite. Cast your line near the green zone to earn a better setup, then watch the water for a fish to take the bait. When the fish strikes, hold the left and right controls to guide the needle through the green zone. Stay steady to fill the catch ring—but drift away and progress drains faster. Every pond has its own target list and score requirement. Catch the marked fish, manage different fighting styles, and earn enough points to unlock the next challenge. FEATURES • Handcrafted pond challenges • 5 fish types with distinct movement and difficulty • Casting timing that affects each attempt • A quick, tactile reel-in challenge • Multi-fish objectives and score-based progression • Offline single-player play • No account, ads, purchases, or network connection required A quiet lake. A lively line. Keep the needle green and bring the catch home.
