You play as a fisherman whose boat catches fish in different bays and islands. The game can sit along the edge of your desktop, where you can check in and collect catches; keyboard and mouse activity speeds up fishing.
Send fish to a sushi bar, where dishes are prepared and sold to customers. Earnings let you improve your fishing rods and bait, develop the restaurant, and unlock further options as you progress.
Fill out a bestiary by catching different species and variants. You can also breed fish in a hatchery and place them in an aquarium that generates income, while customizing the boat and restaurant with available items.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy keeping the game running in a corner of the screen while they work or play something else, with occasional check-ins to collect fish and manage the sushi bar. They also praise the fish collection, approachable progression, and cute pixel-art presentation. Some reviewers find the later game repetitive or say long achievement goals leave too much time spent waiting.
