About the Game

Critical Fishing is a fishing game without a fishing rod. Instead you get a submarine, upgradeable guns and one very angry worm! Start out as a noob with a pistol and become a ricocheting, sawblade throwing, precision shooting, demon summoning, black hole creating, missile launching menace of a worm!

1. The Dive

  • Use your remote controlled submarine to collect fish and resources
  • pick up powerful buffs for your next shootout, find permanent upgrades and different treasure chest
  • avoid underwater threats: if you run out of battery everything you have collected during this dive is lost
  • the things you find in this underwater world are radomized each dive

2. The Shootout

  • fling your caught fish into the sky and turn them into many smaller, weird-looking fish for resources and coins
  • choose between 8 upgradeable weapons each with unique special effects
  • equip mods to to personalize your playstyle
  • combine effects for chain reactions and crazy combos
  • use XP to level up and perfect your "fishing" skills



Just ask yourself: is there such a thing as too many homing rockets?
