What is Cornerpond?

A single-player 2D fishing idler that runs in a corner of the screen. Your character catches fish automatically across five biomes, while you handle some larger catches, sell fish, upgrade rods and bait, buy cosmetics, and fill a journal with more than 100 fish types.

For you if...

+you want a fishing game running beside other tasks
+you enjoy collecting fish and filling completion journals
+you prefer gradual automation and occasional manual catches

Not for you if...

−you want a fully hands-off idle game
−you dislike slow, luck-dependent completion grinds
−you expect extensive late-game progression and frequent updates

Players praise the pixel art, fish variety, customization, and corner-screen format that works alongside other tasks. The most common complaint is that journal completion becomes a long, luck-dependent grind that still requires quick manual catches; some players also report crashes or an unclickable window while idling.
