Чудова та абсурдна гра, чим і чіпляє. Водночас розслабляюча та напружлива, з деякими босами треба реально спітніти)) дуже раджу
Women fear me, fish want me.
Simple controls that are used in a deceptively complex way. The core gameplay loop is entertaining and the bosses actually become quite challenging, especially if you are seeking the coveted 5-star rating. Dev team has been very responsive and generally friendly when asking questions or giving feedback. For the low asking price of zero dollars, this is an easy recommendation.
fiiiiiiiish...
Short but really sweet.

Игра Bait & Tackle – это расслабляющий и увлекательный симулятор рыбалки в виртуальной реальности. Графика приятная, особенно радуют детализированные модели рыбы и спокойные пейзажи. Управление интуитивно понятное, быстро осваиваешься с забросами, подсечками и вываживанием. В Bait & Tackle много локаций для рыбалки, от тихих озер до бурных рек. Разнообразие рыбы впечатляет, каждая требует своего подхода и снастей. Игра дарит ощущение реальной рыбалки, особенно когда чувствуешь сопротивление крупной рыбы на крючке. Раздражает только отсутствие мультиплеера. Хотелось бы порыбачить вместе с друзьями. В остальном, игра отличная! Рекомендую всем, кто хочет отдохнуть и насладиться виртуальной рыбалкой.
