Thanks to the homie Bris on the Steam discussion board for his "Fix," or I would have given this game a thumbs down. Anyways. This game is a fun little Idler. The only downside for me is that I was looking more for a "Totally" afk game where I could come back and check it from time to time and see my progress. But with this, you still have to interact with it like any other idle game. And that's OK. I don't really mind it. If I do go AFK, I just come back and hit the next button to get new fish or a chest. It's not bad. The spacebar being an option to confirm was a nice touch. Just focus on the froggie and the spacebar. And with me working mostly from home, this is a fun little game I can "Play" while I get my work done. I'm still looking for that AFK fishing or any kind of "Idle model" that lets you play a totally AFK game, mess around with from time to time, fix them up, spend points, and buy clothing/gear. If you have any ideas, my comments are open on this.

I love it, the little guy just fishes away while I work, but I wish I could flip and resize the frog so it'd hang on the left side of my monitor instead, and also maybe a setting so the frog doesn't wait for input when catching fishies of certain rarities, as well as huges/shinies/holos.

I've been following this game since its demo, and it does exactly what it tells you! You get a cute little frog companion, that idles at the bottom of your screen and catches fish from time to time. There's tons of unique fishes you get to catch, and you can view them all in a nice little aquarium. I also really enjoy the customization! It runs smoothly and I haven't encountered any issues. So 10/10, definitely recommend! :)
