About the Game

Fishing for Idiots – Single Player

is a single-player version of a fishing game that shows what a fishing trip with friends really looks like. The game is focused on fun and entertainment, so the fishing system is intuitive and easy to use, allowing players to catch fish in various ways, such as float fishing or spinning. There are also many realistically recreated species of Polish fish available.

Gameplay

Fishing is made easier with a fishing boat, while transporting items is handled by a legendary Polish car, and time is made more pleasant by music played on the radio. Other important features include, for example: Drinking beer – increases playtime but makes movement more difficult, Smoking cigarettes – temporarily removes the effect of intoxication.

Now you can catch fish tougheder in splitscreen co-op!

Cheats

An important humorous element of the game is the cheat codes, made in the style of retro games. They allow players, for example, to change skins, complete a parkour map, or drift with the car, making the gameplay absurdly chaotic.

Characters

The player can choose from three characters, each with different abilities:

  • Adrian – runs and swims faster

  • Włodek – resistant to alcohol

  • Rysiek – more experienced in fishing

Map

The game map presents a lake inspired by a real one. It is filled with collectibles, easter eggs, vegetation, and characteristic decorations.

The game is a Single Player version, while a multiplayer version will be released soon along with a new map and additional gameplay elements.
Have fun playing! 😊
