Senior developer, currently in web, formerly in mostly-non-entertainment game development for the HoloLens (RIP). I have some game side projects, like a 3D Arcade Fishing game with o v e r t o n e s called Fish Heaven.
unlabelledView post →A person here said he have to wait 10 or more minutes before a fish bites, I can think that this person know less of fishing then me when i played the game i had a lot of fish, some got away but they were very heavy and my gear wasnt so strong enough yet to bring him in on time, wich is normal u can use different bait and hooks wich improve the catching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avgue6T_qyI

WARNING! do not buy this game does not work properly as you can't reel in any fish around 4KG so you can never unlock the better kit because of this so the game in a way is broken and needs to be repatched but i think the developer no longer patches this game as he has not been seen for nearly a year. so do not buy look for a better fishing game that works and is patched when needed. Seems to me this developer has made a cut and run meaning had your money and just dropped the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking forward to a cool fishing game and was extremely dissapointed. but for those interested I broke this game down for you... Pros: - You wait 10+ minutes for something to bite, just like real life! (never actually got anything to bite before uninstalling) -A cheesy stadium announcer voice yells "THHHRRROOOWWW!!!!!" every time you cast your line. Cons: - The fishing mechanics are horrible - fishing sfx sound like someone recorded them on their iphone. - animations are garbage…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best fishing game on Steam to play with 1 hand. So if you like to drink a beer while gaming and you love fishing then this is the game for you. The graphics are overall good and it's very satisfying to catch a huge fish. My only downside is once you unlock all locations and fishing spots and get all achievements there's not much left to do. Hopefully there will be DLC sometime down the road.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have recently found a new game 3d Arcade Fishing, so I have decided to give it a spin. The first thing I liked about the game is graphics. It looks really good, with animated water and swimming fish. I also liked the fact that not only I can choose my avatar, but I actually play with the person of my choice. As I didn't like too much menu music I really found the in-game sound soothing and relaxing - just like real fishing would do. There are some minor issues with animated fish underwater…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Found this game by coincidence. As I love to go fishing in real life I just gave it a try! I really enjoyed the game. The mechanic iseems to be simple, but you have to be careful, otherwise the fish will escape in the last second. You can play with different profiles, so theres already a competion who got the biggest fish in my family. Until now I just fished the Ruhr-Lake and got some nice Roaches, but I can't wait to unlock the other areas and go for even bigger fishes. All in all a nice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The way the water looks and moves is very relaxing. Even without the fishing part I could just sit and listen to music as I watch the water. As for the fishing, it was stated that this is not meant to be realistic. What they don't mention is how much fun this is. Without a USB force feedback fishing rod/reel combo, no fishing simulator is "realistic" so this suits me just fine. So far the pike seem to be the most challenge to bring to the shore. Like real life, You do not always have to cast…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I just tried out a Pre-Release of 3D Arcade Fishing. While it now has been released on Steam, I will give you a Heads Up. The Game is Interesting at Best, can be Rather slow and no real 3D aspect to the game as you stand in one location while fishing. But have a look and try it for yourself if you are into FISHING as you may Enjoy it. As for myself I am kinda tore between liking and hating, playing more may make me change my mind. Enjoy!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3D Arcade Fishing is a casual fishing game developed by bumblebee and published by familyplay together with Markt+Technik that focuses on creating a relaxing and accessible fishing experience built around simple mechanics, peaceful environments, and steady progression. Rather than attempting to simulate every technical aspect of real-world fishing, the game embraces a more arcade-oriented style designed for players who want calm gameplay mixed with light progression and enjoyable fishing…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relaxing Like all fishing games should be
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did not like it, I find it boring. Don't worth the price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah man, I love fishing irl so I decided to give this a try, it's fun almost half of the time otherwise it gets really boring, it takes less time to catch a fish in real life than this game. It crashed on me multiple times, it's buggy, and the voice acting is terrible, it needs major fixes and graphical patches, till then, I have to give this a negative review, will change it if everything is improved and fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended for game farming
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very relaxing. The graphic could be a little bit better, like the fishes for example that are shaky, the game is still being developed so there is room for improvement. Beside that, you will have the occasional crash and also some loop that will happen when you cast your line. The biggest and most annoying issue is the fact that anything bigger than a small fish, you might as well release it because trying to reel it back in is simply impossible. It would make sense if you have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this fishing game, as I'm really a poor fisherman, don't laugh its true. After the first 10 mins or so you can get to grips with it and have some fun. I wouldn't pay dear for as it's only got 3 locations, I got my when steam had a weekend sale. But it's fun so try it out
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →graphics 10/10 music 1/10 gameplay 1/10 ive played this a few times and everytime i get a meduim or a big fish the distance slider does not move for the price i paid i expect more from it leveling up is slow and painfull i wa hoping it was like saga bass fishing boy was i wrong problem these days its all about the money rather than effort put into gameplay
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This runs oddly well on the Steam Deck? It's okay, for a fishing game...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is great as a arcade fishing not a good simulation
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →beautiful game, great concept but the timing + reeling + fish distance to shore are ridiculous. It is a shame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would like to recommend 3D Arcade Fishing for everyone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basic but fun. For $4.99..yea it's worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3D Arcade Fishing 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good time killer or when you're just bored
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game sucks BIG ass It bugged after I closed it. I could not catch any fish at all. It somehow worked again later but still very annoying. 2/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Complete crap honestly - there are a lot fishing sims out there that are better. This one is like a point and click - no emotion
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interestingly the more you advance in the game the harder it is to catch fish. As soon as I hook one I click and hold the left mouse button and in a few seconds the fish is gone. Small, medium or large it doesn't matter; as soon as they begin to struggle they're gone. Even when I hook one close to shore it has escaped in a few seconds or less. I was looking for a good fishing game to play in between actually going out in real life but sadly this one isn't it. I paid $5 for the game and I…
