If I could I would rate 3.5 but 3 seems too low. The game is great fun and props to the developer on the graphics, they are excellent. Here’s a few things that could be done to improve gameplay: difficulty/skill - basically anyone can play this game and succeed (shoot fish and reel in said fish over seemingly unlimited amount of time), so where does strategy and skill come into play? How about the potential to lose a fish in structure or to a shark, or the longer the fish fights the more chance you have to lose it (as in other fishing games) - thus making your reeling vs wait time actually matter and could actually cause you to lose the fish. Also, the holding breath aspect is a bit unrealistic as you can just wait until 1 sec left no matter the depth or situation and get to the surface. Shouldn’t your breath time decrease faster while fighting a fish or at depth? and the seconds required to surface vary at different depths? These features can be added with difficulty levels so anyone can play at the appropriate skill level. Lastly, not enough consistency in the fish and weights and structure - kinda gets boring over time. Make these changes and keep adding locations and gear with updates and this is for sure a 5-star game!
This game is awesome and I love the mechanics, and the graphics are pretty good, but this game could be so much better. There is still a lot of room for improvement. For example, every fish seems to act the same. Hogfish, get spooked immediately and it is very unrealistic. Also the shark mechanic is broken. Every fish I shoot it always gets”taxed” and it is annoying and again unrealistic. If there was a bigger shark bar, so that it would take longer for the shark to aggro to the fish then it would be much easier. Another thing is that, I wish you could change the color of your guns and I wish there were more fish to shoot. But it’s a great game and I wish I found it sooner.!👍🏽 hopefully you do a big update and make the game a little smoother, because if the graphics were better and more detailed and more changes were added this game would attract so many people.
Starting with the positive. Graphics are good with multiple maps. Really like the ability to purchase gear but items look nothing like what real spearfishing gear does. Would be nice to have more options that are also not so expensive. Weird looking fins and spearguns that take away from realism. Controls are great. Worst part of the game is the reeling in option. You spend more time reeling in fish than spearfishing. I would enjoy the game much better if the reel system did not exist. It gets super frustrating and takes away from the fun. Hope the developers think of a way to fix this. Would love to give this game 5 stars if a few fixes were made.
I really love this game..I would like if you added like multiplayer where you can play with your friends that would be very cool if you add that and also every time I catch couple fish then I go up for air and come back down the fishes disappear and the sharks heading up out the water that need to be fix!!!!! Other than that I give this a 5/5 star rating good job making this wonderful game I really spend my money on something spectacular but add more things to it boost the game up some more and also let it be able to like sell the fish instead of getting the currency for spearing it.
This game in terms of its graphics and real life spearfishing scenario is great. Only down side is the sharks, I truly find no point in sharks eating what you’ve just speared. I think it’s ridiculous that you try your best to aim and catch these fish and to have it get taken away by a shark. That’s not real spearfishing. This scenario only happens rarely. If I were the developer I would’ve done this differently, I would’ve only added the shark at very rare times. For example, you shoot and catch a few fish and reel them in. Then for a very short time a shark circles your territory for maybe a good 1-2 minutes and then leaves for awhile. But having a shark(s) on your always is absolutely ridiculous especially when you pay 4.99 for this game. I suggest either updating the game having this shark appear ever so often or not even having the shark at all. Thanks
I honestly have been waiting for a spearfishing game for a long time and especially a good one but after playing the game for a little while I found a couple of things that need some work or would be beneficial to add. I would love to see the hit boxes actually be consistent, there has been many times where I have been very close to a fish and my crosshairs were right on it and I seem to somehow miss, also I think different button layouts should be added because for my phone I always seem to resurface when I’m trying to look around. These are only minor problems but the game is still loads of fun
Loved this game for years, definitely could use touch ups here and there and possibly multiplayer lobbys, atleast Local LAN! -Would love to see updated graphics (since these new phones can handle it) -possible game modes or challenges to unlock certain gear -More size/weight variations in fish -more fish variety in Some lower lvl maps -an increase in money/Xp (would obviously need more maps and items to buy for people who wanna grind out the hard stuff, but for a casual player its hard to stay engaged with mostly everything being a grind) Lastly, I totally understand its a one man band for development and not entirely sure if its ever gonna be revived since the last update has been 2 years+ but this game would definitely blossom if small tweaks were made and added.
I got this game many years ago, back when there was no aiming circle, no in depth fighting mechanic, and sharks were barely a problem. Now this game is barely playable, almost every fish you shoot gets sharked because of the janky fighting mechanic. The prices for everything is stupid high, and takes hours to unlock a single item. And most importantly, stone shots are no longer skill-based, it all comes down to luck. You can aim directly at the head and maybe get 1 stone/ head shot out of 20 total trigger pulls. In the older version, if you hit the head it was a guaranteed stone shot. This new version feels like a cheap knockoff of the old version, it’s a shame it went downhill.
