The Game is quite short of the "Story," but the general Game principle is the most Fun. You quickly delve into the Game in my Opinion and quickly find it. If you are looking for Something to be Pastime or like to put yourself somewhere to rest to play a little, this Game is perfect. The retro look and Simplicity give the Game a certain Something that makes it simply unique.

Iphone XS: Every few Seconds and/or when I move the Fishing Line via the lateral Slope of the Smart phone, it remains briefly "hanging" and can no longer be moved sideways. Affects both Paths, up and down. However, the Game otherwise continues as normal in every Way. The Fishing Line continues to sink, and can no longer be shifted to the left or the right for a Monent.
Is not a Problem with the Sensor Technology of the Smartphone, this works in other Games with similar Principle (Doodle Jump) super ...
Too bad, after a long Break I would like to go fishing digitally again.

I was skeptical before taking it, seemed to have very monotonous gameplay mechanics... But I got convinced by the reviews!
The game is hilarious and creates a very strong addiction! Graphically It is beautiful and the sound I like very much!
The only flaw is ke too much resembles an already existing game in the AppStore... With the same gameplay mechanics, but instead of shooting the fish, they had to slice into the Fruit Ninja style! But that game was really monotonous, and technically it didn't propose anything so amazing! This is all the opposite, not tired and is technically original and well realized!

Fabulous, it's great to see the absence of in-app purchases. Finally A developer who cares to provide a nice game at the right price instead of trying to spilling extra money in any where at the expense of the overall gaming experience. I Could buy it another time I would just to reward this decision. Obviously the game is fun and edited in detail, managing to maintain the same spirit of the Flash version and adding all those extra precautions to justify the price. Much better to spend money on this than for one of the many monotonous spinoffs to the Angry Birds and companionship. Compratelo is worth it extremely worthwhile.
