Play Store Link π Patient Angler - Idle fishing
Just want to throw out a recommendation here! May be considered a hidden gem since not many people are playing this yet as far as I know.
I have been playing this game for several months now and am still really enjoying it. Games in this genre I previously played actively and liked are clicker heroes, Tap Titans 2, CiFi and Idle Obelisk Miner. So if you liked one or more, give this one a shot as well!
It's an incremental game about fishing, starting with a simple rod and 20 taps for 1 fish in a pond, to billions of fish caught by your nets, boats fleet and even submarine automation units in various places.
The game has idle and active gameplay combined. Idle progression is slow at first but will increase a lot after the first few zones, active boost will be mandatory at first and stay relevant (but not necessary) even later on.
There is a prestige mechanism but also mechanics that persist through prestige to boost progression, like a fishdex, that gives boosts on fish discovered and the amount of these caught and bobber cosmetics that give boosts based on the amount of them found.
The game starts out slow and a bit clicker heroes like, but the further you progress the more mechanics are unlocked, in which both idle progression is possible but active play makes a difference.
Discord community is still small but active and welcoming, some guides are on there as well. The developper is really open to suggestions and feedback, when you think about trying this game you should also consider hopping by the discord channel!
The game is still growing in content, I would say current content would be enough to keep you busy for about 6 months at least.
IAPs are totally optional, ads are there but not forced, there is even an option to turn them off if you like. IAPs will increase speed, but there is no content walled by it whatsoever. There are community events and multiplayer competition options, but IAPs don't contribute anything towards these.
