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.

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.

1
Learn the fight rhythm

Hook something you can control on ordinary creatures before spending boss bait.

2
Finish fights safely

Keep space, avoid the creature's approach path, and use terrain when physics gets chaotic.

3
Read the quest before selling

A head, fin, skull, or trophy-shaped drop is a quest hand-in, not ordinary meat.

4
Fix your bottleneck

Prioritize weapon damage, boat engine, or attachments โ€” don't buy one of everything.

5
Split co-op roles

Don't all stand in the same damage lane; kite the boss while others fire from angles.
