A cozy multiplayer fishing game, free in your browser. A quiet pond, a sunny dock, and a hundred fish that only bite when the time is right.
Or play in your browser on Android. The app is a small download that opens the game full screen.
Wander the shore, cast from the docks, and learn the rhythms of the water. Every fish has its hour, its weather, and its own opinion about your lure.
From humble perch to the giant squid, plus crabs, corals and junk, each with five levels of fight and seven tiers of rarity.
A living clock drifts from dawn to dusk to starlight. Some fish only rise under the moon.
Fog, snow, thunderstorms and the rare aurora each bring out creatures you won't see otherwise.
Sell to the fishmonger, upgrade your gear, take on bounties, dress up at the Stylist, adopt a pet, and fill an aquarium with your best catches.
One shared world. Wave, emote and chat with the other anglers on the dock, or just watch the sun go down together.
Plays right in your desktop browser with keyboard and mouse or a controller. Your progress saves as you go.
