The end game is very grindy, like, days and days spent just trying to get the last 5 achievements. But! It's still a very cute game and the idling aspect is interesting and increasingly customisable over time. I like all the different landscapes, the puzzles, and that you could navigate to quest solves through the menu itself, or even through the item you've just caught. I think the developer's put a lot of thought into this! I just wish there was a way to use all the "useless" money at the end to speed up completing the collection. I know we have lures! But I would happily pay like, 100,000 to guarantee a specific kind of fish, or even 1,000,000 with how much money I had just sitting around at the end. That's just me though! And I do recommend this other game otherwise, it was very cute, and I liked it a lot.
This game is really cute 10/10 (Although I first have to 100% Cornerpond XD)

久闻挂机游戏大名,今日一见,煞是震撼。很多rogue,卡牌等等游戏苦数值久矣,均忧愁何以给玩家平稳起飞落地的体验。放在挂机游戏里,根本不是问题,玩家本身就不打算投入大量的心血劳动,只是每天劳作一天回来查收一下,给自己一份报告。 佛系鱼塘的确呼吁让人慢下来,佛系一点。但是在开荒的前期,玩家不知道方向,现在回想起来真是浪费了许多资源和时间,唉,还是不要太功利了罢 没有完全指定掉落的功能,还是需要靠时间去弥补运气的不足,钓鱼佬心境值得尊敬
慎入,实际上并不是个挂机游戏,全程有很多强制要玩家点点点的操作,并且还要花很多心思收集各种道具,甚至到结尾道具全升满了也无法做到真正的长时间挂机,整体玩下来的感觉更像是作者本来在做个像素风探险游戏,做到一半看到挂机题材火了就强行缝了挂机要素一样,完全给人一种挂羊头卖狗肉的感觉
Idle Waters is a pretty cool Red Panda, he fishing and doesn't afraid of anything
This is a very chill and nice game, which you can also idle in your background or play semi-actively (what I do). At least, for the final achievements, where I keep track of what fishes I catch and their rarities, The game has well implemented systems that I feel are missing in other similar games (looking at you, Cornerpond): baits for different ranks of fish, different rarities, aquariums to get certain items, a few questlines where you use said items and quite a few zones/biomes. They are very well made. If you like fishing idle games, this is a game for you. You can spend a lot of hours in it (I am still not done with all achievements) so it's a great bang for your buck game, even when not on sale.
I've been meaning to try out one of those bottom of the screen idle games that you just leave on while you go do other things (but one with more Actual Game Elements™ than Mountain when you [i]do[/i] want to check up on it) and y'know what? - having a little pixel art panda with their wee little hat and robe go fish in little pixel art environments while I do other tasks on the computer has been a boon to my mental health. It passes the most important test by being really damn cute while it idles on my desktop and, surprisingly, contains enough actual gameplay elements like fetch quests, lures, and aquariums that you can choose to play more actively or passively depending on how you're feeling. I've been distracted by this game quite a few times. I've been [i]invested[/i] in what the red panda is doing. You even get a cat! A cat with wings that gives you treasure and also garbage! The main knock against it is the very, [b]very[/b] obvious point in the game where the progression goes from "finding new areas and upgrades and fish" to "just sitting there and grinding out different colors of the same fish you already caught for another 40 hours". The game does try to alleviate this with the specialized lures and charms but my enthusiasm definitely started to drop once I saw the grind that lay in front of me for the next tens of hours with Idle Waters. Which, to be fair, was kinda what I was expecting the entire game to be. Guess I can't fault the game for turning into a game where the red panda just chills and fishes for hours...
i swear that i dont have a problem with a fishing idle games..
Idle Waters ist meiner Meinung nach ein beinahe perfekter Idler. Hier pusht man nicht einfach nur seelenlos irgendwelche Zahlen hoch, sondern ein bisschen "Management-Geklicke" ist auch nötig, wenn man beispielsweise Quest-Items abgibt oder sich zwischen verschiedenen Angelstellen bewegt, da man überall andere Dinge angeln kann. Aber alles in Maßen und nicht so, dass man ständig irgendwo klicken muss, aber eben genug, als das man ab und zu mal was aktiv hereinschauen muss, um voranzukommen. Bloß am Ende alle besonderen Varianten der Fische für die Errungenschaften zu sammeln hat für meinen Geschmack etwas zu lang gedauert. Alles in allem aber eine absolute Empfehlung für Fans des Genres.
