A lil boring fishing game. Game mechanic is buggy sometimes.

Overall this is a solid base of a game for 2 dollars. MAPS - There are 4 maps which are cozy in their own way. Two fresh water maps and 2 salt water maps. There is also an aquarium map where there are 4 separate tanks that will hold 1 of each type of fish whenever you catch one. FISH - There are 5 fish per map (4 maps) so in total there are 20 fish. In less than an hour of game play, I have caught 18/20. It seems like there is at least 1 fish per map that is a lot more rare than the others and 1 that is slightly more rare. FISHING GAME PLAY - The fishing mini game is actually kind of fun and different than other fishing mini games I have tried. It is simple and it goes quick. You get a bite within a second or two of your bobber touching the water and the mini game takes 5 - 10 seconds making it easy to rack up a ton of fish very quickly. SOUND - The sound effects are good. The plunking of your bobber and the sound of the ocean waves are satisfying. However, there is no music. While I can easily find something on YouTube to play to this game, I feel like having a solid soundtrack would allow people to spend more time getting lost in fishing. It is probably my largest complaint about this game. It really needs a soundtrack. THINGS THAT WOULD DRASTICALLY IMPROVE THE GAME - Other than 1 fish of each type going into the aquarium collection, there is no purpose for any of the fish you catch. You can't sell them or put them in other tanks. They just exist as a stat. It would be nice to either allow different aquarium builds, or let people sell fish for aquarium decorations, which leads me to my next point. - The aquarium map is super basic and unpleasant to look at. The fish hardly fit into the tanks and the tanks are basic or next to completely empty besides water and fish. There needs to be a way to customize aquariums by adding decorations, adjusting what fish go in, and decorating the map around the tanks as well. Decorations could not only be bought by selling unwanted fish, but it would be nice if they could also be caught as rare catches in the various maps. It would also be nice to be able to choose a tank to display on each map that you actually fish on. There is a lot of empty space on the screen, and while that's part of the aesthetic, I don't see the harm in using a corner for a fish tank to have something pretty to look at while fishing. Incorporating baits would also help to chase certain types of fish. It doesn't have to be super intricate, but at least 1 or 2 different types of worms or bugs to use per map would be awesome. ALL IN ALL A good base of a game for 2 dollars. You won't get lost in it. It goes by quick. However, if they add a few things as mentioned above, it could be something you could chill and zone out for a bit in.

This game's charm lies in its simplicity.

It's cute and great for just zoning out and 'doing' something but the game needs a tutorial badly, took me a minute to figure out how to fish because it doesn't tell you anywhere. I still don't know how to deposit the fish i catch into my museum. Feels very sparse and bare bones. It also sucks that you can't pick your gender or customize your character at all. So while the game is cute, I def don't recommend it until it makes a few changes. Feels like the devs slapped it together and said 'ok, good enough.'

Cozy Fishing hooked me enough that I just had to 100% it (all achievements and at least 1 of each fish!) and it left me hoping for more content (maps, fish, bait, upgrades, character and aquarium customization, all for a higher pricetag of course). I'm very satisfied with this relaxing, yet short little experience for the price I paid. Plus, it features some of my favorite saltwater fish!
