The verdict
A nostalgic eat-and-grow fish sim that's fun for a few hours but abandoned since 2021, with launch failures, dead multiplayer and balance issues. Skip it if you want updates or reliability.
Great for
Nostalgic players who grew up watching YouTubers play it and want a simple fish sandbox
Main risk
Game may not launch without workarounds, and it's abandoned with no updates or working multiplayer
