How to Play: Core Mechanics
1. Basic Fishing
- Craft a Fishing Rod (sticks + string).
- Stand by water (oceans, beaches best).
- Right-click (or tap) to cast your line.
- Wait for a bite (bobber dips).
2. The Fishing Mini-Game
- When hooked, a tap mini-game starts: Quickly tap/click in rhythm to reel in!
- Success depends on timing—practice for tougher fish.
- Fail? The catch escapes.
Unique fish have special behaviors: Some dart away, requiring patience and strategy.
3. Catch or Release
- After reeling in, view details: weight, length, scale, habitat info.
- Choose Catch (for food/pets) or Release (ethical for breeders/endangered).
- Auto-logs in your Fish Encyclopedia (accessible via inventory or menu).
4. Progression: Recycle Trash
- Fish up plastic waste polluting waters.
- Collect and recycle at crafting stations or structures.
- Unlocks:
- New fish species.
- Crafting recipes (armor, tools).
- Ocean cleanup (removes pollution visually).
- Armor upgrades (combine base armor with recycled materials for better protection/diving).
Build up your recycling empire to access elite gear!
5. Exploration and Advanced Play
- Equip diving suits/armor to explore depths: Sunken ruins, structures with loot.
- Trade with new villagers for bait/gear.
- Build aquariums for pet fish.
