Concept

Cat Goes Fishing is a wildly popular indie title. Its simplicity makes it completely charming. Players throw the line out as a sweet cat sitting on the shore with a fishing line.

There are even unique hats for customizing Cat while it fishes. It's a straightforward premise, earning 4/5.

Graphics & Audio

Simplicity is key in this relaxing video game. The art has a chill vibe, even when players are fighting epic deep-sea finds like sharks or the legendary dragonfish. Taking to the sea creates a new dynamic as Cat floats on a boat and fills it full of fish. Additionally, Cat is truly adorable with its soft look. The animations all feel very dreamy when coupled with soothing background music. The calming sense is always present with all of these aspects blending so well together. The screen itself isn't very cluttered, providing basic details like Cat's current level, money, and a quest log. There's even an encyclopedia where players can check out all the fish they've caught. The simple, cute graphics and audio are intentional and create a distinct, undeniable charm and earn 4/5.

Game Play

There is one major aspect of Cat Goes Fishing: Cat's fishing rod. Cat has a simple rod and relaxes onshore when players start the game. Progressing by catching fish will unlock lots of different upgrades as well as new rods for Cat. Different rods have unique abilities. Cat's skill onshore is soon rewarded with a boat! Head out to the open sea and take on new, dangerous fish. Furthermore, Cat's boat can be upgraded for better fishing as well. All of these options give players a sense of complex play while maintaining a simple premise. The upgrades get costly, which means that Cat needs to find rare and valuable fish. Finally, Cat gets lots of hats. Beyond being cute, though, these hats each have a special ability. Mix and match hats with upgrades, creating the perfect fishing style. The gameplay shines through, earning a 5/5 for seamlessly creating an intricate upgrade system while not overcomplicating the fishing process.

Conclusion
