What is Critical Fishing?
A single-player, 2D fishing shooter alternates between underwater dives and shootouts. You steer a remote-controlled submarine to catch fish and collect resources before its battery runs out, then launch your catch into the air and shoot it for coins and resources. Finds change each dive, and you can upgrade weapons, equip mods, and level up skills.
For you if...
- +you like alternating resource gathering with arcade shooting
- +you enjoy upgrading weapons and combining their effects
Not for you if...
- −you want traditional fishing with a rod
- −you dislike repeating dives to gather upgrade resources
