Deep Fish

📖 Read the strategy guide ›

Deep Fish is a relaxing but addictive fishing game with upgrades. Drop your hook from the boat and steer it past the fish as it sinks; touch one and the hook starts reeling up early. On the way back up, swipe into as many fish as you can. Deeper water holds rarer fish worth more coins, from tiny minnows to glowing lantern fish and a rare golden fish. Sell every catch, then spend your coins on a longer line, faster reel and bigger hook.

How to play

  1. The hook drops automatically; steer it left and right.
  2. Avoid fish on the way down: touching one starts the reel early.
  3. On the way up, steer into fish to hook them, up to your hook size.
  4. Watch out for jellyfish: a sting knocks fish off your hook.
  5. At the surface your catch is sold for coins.
  6. Spend coins on line length, reel speed and hook size, then fish again.

Tips

  • Upgrade line length first: deeper fish are worth far more.
  • On the way down, stay in open water between schools of fish.
  • Below 280 m, look out for the rare golden fish worth 250 coins.

Questions

Is my progress saved?
Yes. Your coins and upgrades are saved in your browser on this device.
Why did my hook stop going down?
Touching a fish on the way down starts the reel, so dodge fish to reach deeper water.
