You’re not in the same room as me, but I just yelled that paragraph as I typed it. Let me reiterate: Ridiculous Fishing is a game where you catch a humanly impossible number of fish hundreds of feet under the water, throw them into the air – sometimes into outer-freaking space – and shoot them with a gun for money.

Once that happens, your aquatic bounty flies wantonly into the air, and it’s your goal to tap the screen like mad to shoot each one before it hits the water again. Not content to catch fish the old-fashioned way, Billy slyly avoids them until the last possible second.Īs soon as you touch one, though, things ratchet up a notch! Your lure begins to ascend, and for every bit that you exercised control on the way down, you’ll need to react at lightning speed on the way up, zig-zagging left and right across the screen to snag every fish you can before you break the surface. Across four substantial stages and an endless mode, you toss your lure into the unknown waters of fate (well, of the ocean I suppose), and tilt your device to send it as far down as possible. Billy is on a quest to fish his way to fame and notoriety a quest which ties inextricably to his past, and for which he’ll go to any lengths (depths!?). In that time, this indie Voltron has refined an already clever concept into one of the most mechanically satisfying experiences you’ll ever find, and wrapped it in a dazzlingly cool aesthetic. Based on the Vlambeer’s 2010 Flash hit Radical Fishing, Ridiculous Fishing is the result of two years in the developmentGage of Spelltower fame, Hundreds artist Greg Wohlwend, and Hotline Miami composer Eirik Suhrke). Since I have your attention, I suppose I can tell you a little bit more about it.

Listen, are we done here? Because I have somewhere to be, and it really shouldn’t have taken you this long to download the game. I suppose I should tell you a little bit about this fishing, shouldn’t I? It’s ridiculous. Unless you’re reading this hundreds of years in the future on a supercomputer in a post-Earth colony. And if… Okay, let’s just put it this way: you have absolutely no excuse not to purchase and play copious amounts of this game. If by some chance you’re stumbling across this in the days, weeks, or – let’s not think about it – months following the game’s release, and still don’t have it on your phone or tablet, you have a dangerously large fun vacuum you need to fill. If you’re reading this, and you haven’t downloaded and played Vlambeer’s Ridiculous Fishing, it means that you’ve lived a joyless life since it hit the App Store last night.
