About
Reverse Fishing is a rage game about patience and jumping you venture your way back to the ocean. Reverse Fishing features 3 difficulty modes, the map layout is the same on each however higher difficulty means fewer checkpoints. There are 5 levels to complete while collecting highly fashionable cosmetics!
My goal was to make this game easier compared to the average rage game as I feel many of them become practically unbeatable for the average person, I want people to be able to beat this game you just might get a bit frustrated doing so!
This is my first ever game so I really hope you enjoy!

I know the guy who made this. I now no longer talk to the guy who made this. 11/10. The stoplights are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Reverse Fishing is not just a game. It is a pilgrimage. A test of will, sinew, and soul. You begin as nothing more than a humble fish, cast cruelly from the ocean’s embrace, and you are told to do the impossible: to flop your fragile body back to the waves that birthed you. Every leap is agony. Every stumble, despair. Gravity is not just an enemy here—it is a tyrant, a sadistic deity that will drag you down at the very precipice of victory. And yet, with each failure, with each humiliating tumble back to the dirt, a strange thing happens. You grow. Not stronger in muscle, but in spirit. You stop cursing the controls, and start cursing yourself. You stop asking “why can’t I make it?” and start whispering “I will make it, no matter how many hours are lost, no matter how many keyboards perish.” When, after countless hours of sweat, tears, and a deep existential crisis, you finally breach the ocean’s horizon and plunge back into that briny cathedral of home—oh, there are no words. Choirs of angels descend. Poseidon himself sheds a tear. You are reborn. This is not a rage game. This is an odyssey. A crucible. A monument to the futility and glory of existence itself. Buy it. Suffer. Ascend.
i like the fish jumping the flopping is exquisite 10/10 would recommend
My inner fish craves freedom. This has appeased him. Thank you Doug.
I met the creator of this game at a Runescape convention years ago, we spoke together, had a great time, but as the day ended, we had to go our separate ways... But before we did, he leaned in to my ear, and whispered to me "I want to make a game about a fish, flopping its way back to the ocean" and disappeared into the night. At first, I was sceptical, a game about a fish? flopping back to the ocean? such a thing... was unheard of... I moved on with my life, Forgetting the mysterious stranger I had met that day... Now its 2025, nearly a decade later, I load up my steam and I see it... Reverse Fishing... created by none other than "Doug" himself, the man I met all those years ago, A tear forms in my eye as I smile, I wipe it away and just softly spoke "The madman actually did it..." and I purchased the game, Seeing his vision come to life... I suck at it but it's pretty cool.
I have never had so much fun falling over and over and listening to the sounds of a fish going "plip plap plop"
I laughed, I cried, I JUMPED, I A S C E N D E D. All while looking hella cute with the cosmetics. Super fun and well built game. I don't normally play rage games but I enjoyed the difficulty level that this one had!! Solid lil game that you can get many runs out of trying to beat your best time or on different difficulties. Very worth it, highly recommend!!! :D
MY WRIST IS ON FIRE 10/10
I came for Fish. I got Fish that jumps back home. This is the best game ever
I think if I fall off a porta-potty one more time I'm going to cry. Very fun game, I really like the traffic cone hat! If you like rage parkour games with a simple objective this is a great game for you!
