Gameplay
FISHING
Fishing gameplay is similar to Ridiculous Fishing, but with a different spin to make it work well on Playdate!
Control the hook by strafing left and right to catch (or avoid!) fish, and turn the crank to control the speed of your ascent. Keep an eye out for your line strength, and be careful not to catch too many fish and snap the line!
Upon reaching the surface, the fish will fly into the sky, and the harpooning phase will begin.
During harpooning, you will fire your harpoon in a straight line from your boat, and skewer fish! Hit multiple fish in one shot to multiply their value.
SAILING
When not fishing, you'll be travelling on the open waters of the Reel-istic Seas! From here you can visit your home, the shop, or the tutorial.
SHOP
In the shop, you can talk to the friendly shopkeep Bubbles! You can buy equipment upgrades from the shopkeep to improve your hook strafe, reel speed, or even take you deeper into the ocean.
Tips
- The magnet hook is magnetic, and will pull in nearby fish!
- There is a secret pong game mode involving the combination of a hook and a tackle.
Accessibility
In the players "FINCICLOPEDIA" (page 117) there is a This can be accessed by hitting the right d-pad while not fishing or by going to the Fishermans house and accessing the Journal there.

- Coral Multiplier - The amount of money earned per fishing run can be modified in increments of 0.25 from a x0.25 multiplier to a x2.5
- Line Strength - Can be toggled between "Normal" (the line can break) and "Infinite" (the fishing line can never break)
- Fast Travel - When toggled on, the player will be automatically transported to the fishing spot without having to row your boat.
- Veggie Vision - Changes every single fish sprite in the game into a new vegetable fruit or nut sprite.
Note: Veggie Vision makes it so that every entry in the Finciclopedia has a new veggie version to catch, meaning there are over 400+ different fish to catch!
Reel-istic Fishing also features control alternatives from using the crank such as using the D-Pad to reel in line and moving the harpoon using the D-pad.
Trivia
