About the Game

A mysterious algae infestation is spreading across the waters, threatening the fish population. Your goal? Rescue as many fish as possible before it’s too late!

You can style your frog however you like, with a wide range of outfits, accessories, and colors to create your perfect fishing buddy!

You can catch over 50 different types of fish – and with a bit of luck, you might even reel in rare Shiny and dazzling Holo variants!

You gradually unlock various fishing spots, ranging from a peaceful lake to a bubbling volcano. Each spot offers exclusive customization items that, with a bit of luck, you might snag on your hook!
