In its simple, gleeful rhythms of play, it's sublime, too." ~ EDGE - (9 / 10) "One of the most mechanically satisfying experiences you'll ever find, and wrapped in a dazzlingly cool aesthetic." ~ Eli Cymet (Gamezebo) - (5 / 5) "It makes the mass destruction of innocent sea life absolutely adorable." ~ Andrew Webster (The Verge) "I've come to think of Ridiculous Fishing as the unofficial game of Wes Anderson's movie The Life Aquatic." ~ Rob Hearn (PocketGamer) "Ridiculous Fishing is from an alternate iPhone gaming universe where Nintendo is the production quality standard and action is everything." ~ Robert Ashley (A Life Well Wasted) "A rare pearl amidst the endless sardines of iOS games." ~ Chris Bateman (International Hobo) "I'm hooked up to an IV and playing Ridiculous Fishing. One is medicine, the other is a painkiller." ~ Ben Kuchera (PA Report) "Ridiculous Fishing is something very special." ~ exp.

I loved the first one so much. I played through it twice and caught every fish. I spent hours playing it. I always hoped for a sequel or more content. This one is coming with the original team rebuilding it from the ground up with all sorts of new content, end game content, new graphics and more. I might just retire from mobile games after this comes out. I love this game so much. Just so excited. Anotherkellydown, Rocksaint, Alex DeLargest and 1 other person like this.

I can’t wait to see how they’ve updated the game. Apple Arcade has been pretty solid the last few months. Alex DeLargest likes this.

It does, however, set my phone on fire. iPhone 13. Anyone else? ShinHadoukin Well-Known Member Feb 20, 2015 970 141 43 #4 ShinHadoukin, Jul 14, 2023 Yes, great game but after all the promises of an update/content to the original this comes out with not even an optimization of the original. Cool, but eh. mj132 Well-Known Member Oct 2, 2013 354 5 18 United Kingdom #5 mj132, Jul 14, 2023 I was looking forward to this but it opens to a black screen on my iPhone 13 pro, I've tried deleting and re-downloading but that didn't help vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #6 vectorarchitekt, Jul 14, 2023 Funny how they modernized it, like with drone delivery of items and a version of tik tok. I kinda miss the old graphics but it looks good! This is so exciting! Easily one of the top 3 best mobile games I ever played. MetaGonzo Well-Known Member May 7, 2009 1,459 271 83 #7 MetaGonzo, Jul 14, 2023 After playing it on my pad I fired it up on my phone and…. no cloud save? That’s a bummer unless I’m missing something. rza422 Active Member Apr 22, 2014 42 5 8 #8 rza422, Jul 14, 2023 My 13 mini is like a small burning coal after five minutes!

Ghostdog1 Well-Known Member Jan 30, 2015 319 124 43 #10 Ghostdog1, Jul 15, 2023 Does anyone know if there is way to turn of the gyroscope for controlling the hook. This might be fun on a small phone, but to wiggle my ipad around is just getting tiresome. I did not find it in the options. DonnyDJ76 Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2011 1,793 58 48 Male Teacher Hackensack, NJ #11 DonnyDJ76, Jul 15, 2023 IMHO this game is both addictive and exciting to play. My iPad Pro 2021 is also heating up. Hopefully, there will soon be a fix.

I also am experiencing constant inconsistencies with the motion control. Sometimes it is smooth other times not very responsive and then moves like a banshee. otherwise having a great time revisiting it. One of my favorite games. Wall Jump Games Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2020 169 88 28 Male #14 Wall Jump Games, Jul 16, 2023 My phone (XR) is fine. It wasn’t too bad at first but was a l battery intensive but after I turned down graphics settings it wasn’t heating up or using too much battery. And it still looks fantastic. Beyond that, it’s my first time playing Ridiculous Fishing and I am loving it. So happy this came to the service, can’t wait to get to Pro Fishing Tour.

Killing the eyefish with a second-chance item does not add it to the fishopedia. Catching the eyefish on the way up causes it to appear as a badly scaled ankh. And then in the shooting phase, the camera refuses to pan upwards from the boat. Touching the ankh seems to catch it, preventing my descending towards the sceptre. It’s all a bit strange. Wicked8146 Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Nov 17, 2009 777 50 28 Dinosaur hunter Los Angeles #16 Wicked8146, Jul 17, 2023 Turning off SSAO and only using the Hand Cannon has helped a lot with the heating issue. I just rolled the credits and I was surprised to see Spoiler there is a new game+ mode will all sorts of fish variants. So excited there is more content. tops2 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2011 2,083 56 48 #17 tops2, Jul 17, 2023 I'm using iPhone XR and its also super hot too. Turning off the graphics help a little..but the shooting phase really heats the phone up. So far though, with the graphics low, the control feels a bit smoother. For my son on his ipad, he's had random shooting/touch screen issues that goes away if he goes to home then comes back into the game. Hopefully they do some control optimizations. Pretty fun game..but boy..I guess my taste in games have changed. The game doesn't compell me to return that much. Signs of getting old. lol! o0oJAKEo0o Well-Known Member May 23, 2012 322 1 16 Full-Time Student KCMO #18 o0oJAKEo0o, Jul 18, 2023 I’m having the same issue. I figured you had to skip the Ankh to get Sceptre but I made it all the way to the bottom without using the chainsaw and it’s not there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The eye fish is not added for me when I kill it with a second chance item either. :/ Roxton likes this. Wicked8146 Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Nov 17, 2009 777 50 28 Dinosaur hunter Los Angeles #19 Wicked8146, Jul 29, 2023 A new update is out that fixes a lot of things. First of all, my phone no longer heats up so I put it back to max settings. Thank you! Also, you can now turn off vibration and they fixed the issues with the Eye Fish, etc. Great update! If the hot phone turned you off, go back in and give it a try. It says more updates are coming too. Wicked8146 Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Nov 17, 2009 777 50 28 Dinosaur hunter Los Angeles #20 Wicked8146, Jul 31, 2023 Has anyone found any of the "secret fish"? There are fish that are not listed in the Fishopedia. Let me know if you have found any. I have found 2 so far, Spoiler the "blue friend" and "green friend". . My top Maelstrom score is 1,248.
