Game pageCat Goes Fishing: learning the fish, not just casting
A cat with a rod collects fish.
Improving rods or boats and reaching new fish gives progression its appeal.
What makes it fun
Figure out each fish
Fish may rush toward bait or have puzzle-like conditions for catching them. Reading their behavior and working out an approach gives each target its own challenge.
Catch, sell, explore
Selling your catch lets you improve your rod and boat, opening up new fish and places. Choosing between a stronger rod and a trip farther out gives each catch a purpose.
When the line is close to snapping
In Realism, fish fight back and pulling too hard can snap the line. Deciding when to reel as the fish moves gives each struggle some tension.

Core systems
Realism
In Realism, fish resist and can snap the line.
Consider force against responding to their movement.
Bulbguard
Bulbguard is a rod upgrade that protects a lightbulb from Bulbeaters.
Preserving light in the depths is one consideration when choosing equipment.
What sets it apart
Nightfall brings fish that appear at night, making time of day another way to approach exploration.
Learning curve and difficulty
An official update states that using Flick with an uncooled Magmer on the line snaps it. Flick is not useful in every situation.
Consider whether investigating capture conditions is enjoyable, not just reeling fish in. Wanting an immediate answer changes the appeal of exploration.
Distinguish enjoying equipment progression from wanting one particular fish quickly. Enjoyable growth can coexist with frustrating interference.
