Ridiculous Fishing (Or Where Did the Time Go?)




Ridiculous Fishing is a neat little title available on the App Store right now. Created by the Super Crate Box folks Vlambeer, it's a sequel to their flash game Radical Fishing. The premise is pretty simple: drop a lure, try to take it as far as it goes, and when it either hits a fish or the sea bottom, reel it back in. You'll tilt your iDevice to maneuver the lure around fish if you don't want to hit anything early on the way down, and for grabbing fish on the way up.

Then, once that mass of gills and scales comes up, you pull out a gun to shoot them all.

That's right - "catching" involves shooting the airborne fish with a manner of different guns. Double uzi's, shotguns - you can even use an orbital ray to wipe them out en masse.

"Catching" nets you cash to pick up perks such as new guns, longer lures, and even hats that boost certain elements of your character. Heck, you can buy a toaster that'll wipe out an entire screen of fish so you can keep going.  Additionally, catching new species of fish will unlock new areas to drop lures in. Be prepared to lose a few hours after getting the hang of it all.

The game is available on the App Store for $2.99.
