How to Fish

How to Fish is a physics-based fishing simulator from Dazed Games for 1–4 players. Stranded after a boating accident, you catch and sell fish, upgrade your gear, fight bosses, and travel through new islands while trying to find your way home.

How to Fish Key Features

• Physics-based fishing – Catch fish through a gameplay system built around physics, movement, and unpredictable interactions.
• Play alone or with friends – Experience the adventure solo or join up to three other players in online co-op.
• Gear progression – Start without proper equipment, earn money from your catches, and invest it in better fishing gear and weapons.
• Quests and boss fights – Complete objectives and defeat powerful creatures to progress and reach new islands.
• Fish collection – Search for rare variants of different fish and add another goal to your expeditions.
• Trick shots – Take advantage of the game's unusual physics and combat mechanics to perform trick shots and earn additional money.
• Fish-based gambling – Risk your catches for a chance to increase your earnings, with no real-money gambling involved.

Gameplay

How to Fish combines fishing, physics-based action, exploration, combat, and progression. You begin with very little equipment, so catching and selling fish becomes your main way to earn money. Those earnings can then be spent on better rods, weapons, and other useful gear.

Fishing is only part of the experience. Players can fight the creatures they catch, experiment with different weapons, perform trick shots, complete quests, and take on boss encounters. Defeating bosses and progressing through objectives gives you access to new islands, where tougher creatures and improved equipment await. The game can be played in single-player or online co-op with up to four players.

Story

A boating trip goes badly wrong when you and your friends crash onto a small island. With no easy way home, you have to adapt to your new surroundings and learn how to fish.

What begins as an attempt to survive and earn enough resources soon develops into an island-hopping adventure. By completing quests, improving your equipment, and defeating increasingly dangerous creatures, you gradually make your way through new locations in search of a route back home.

Graphics

How to Fish uses a colorful, stylized 3D presentation that complements its lighthearted and deliberately exaggerated approach to fishing. Character models, fish, equipment, and environments favor readability and humor rather than realistic simulation.

The physics system is also an important part of the game's visual identity. Fish and other objects react dynamically to player actions, helping create unpredictable situations during fishing, combat, and co-op play. The combination of natural island environments and absurd action gives the game a distinctive comedic theme.
