Catch, Shoot & Gamble Your Way Home
A chaotic 1โ4 player physics fishing sim where fish flop onto the beach and you finish them off with knives, brass knuckles, and actual firearms. Crash onto an island, earn money, hit trick shots, and gamble your way back home.
What is How to Fish?
How to Fish is a physics action game disguised as a fishing trip, made by Dazed Games โ a tiny Swedish studio formed by just two programmers, Carl-Vilhelm Johansson and Melvin Olsson. Released on Steam on August 20, 2026, it passed one million sales within two days and peaked at over 340,000 concurrent players.
The official loop is simple: catch creatures, kill them, sell them, then buy stronger gear and weapons. Quests and bosses open new islands, while rare variants and trick shots create longer-term collection and money goals. Fish can be smacked around, launched through the air, or taken out with firearms.

Everything you need to survive the island, organized by what you are stuck on.
Beginner Guide
Catch manageable creatures, finish them with your current weapon, sell ordinary catches, and spend only when an upgrade removes a clear bottleneck. Keep boss trophies until the quest hand-in is complete.
Hook something you can control on ordinary creatures before spending boss bait.
Keep space, avoid the creature's approach path, and use terrain when physics gets chaotic.
A head, fin, skull, or trophy-shaped drop is a quest hand-in, not ordinary meat.
Prioritize weapon damage, boat engine, or attachments โ don't buy one of everything.
Don't all stand in the same damage lane; kite the boss while others fire from angles.
