How to Fish

How to Fish is a physics-based fishing simulator for one to four players from Dazed Games. You begin with no gear or weapons after drinking and boating lead to a crash on a small island. To get back home, you learn How to Fish: catch fish, kill fish, and sell fish. The loop is money-driven: sell catches to buy better gear, weapons, and equipment. Quests and boss fights unlock new islands, where creatures are more dangerous and gear improves. You can also hunt the rare variant of every fish, land trick shots for extra money, and gamble for more. That combination of co-op fishing, combat, and island progression is the strongest differentiator.

Fishing, Killing, and Selling

The core actions are fish fish, kill fish, sell fish. You start with no gear or weapons. Selling catches earns money to buy better gear, weapons, and other equipment. Combat and fishing both feed the same economy, so time on the water funds tools for tougher creatures. Money also comes from trick shots and gambling. This loop repeats as you pursue the rare variant of every fish and build toward stronger loadouts.

Quests, Bosses, and New Islands

Complete quests and fight bosses to progress to new islands. Each new island introduces more dangerous creatures and better gear. Boss encounters act as checkpoints for moving forward, while quests provide additional objectives. The loop alternates between quest objectives and boss fights before each new island unlocks. Improved gear from one island helps handle the stronger wildlife on the next. The source does not name specific bosses or islands, so progression is described only by this sequence.

Rare Fish, Trick Shots, and Gambling

Beyond standard catches, you can try to collect the rare variant of every fish. Landing trick shots pays more money. Gambling offers another way to increase funds. These activities feed the same money loop used to buy better gear and weapons. They also add optional goals for players pursuing a rare-fish collection or higher payouts. The source presents them as part of the main activity list, alongside fishing, killing, selling, quests, and boss fights.
