How to Fish — 1–4 player physics fishing co-op where you bash, shoot and gamble catches

How to Fish is a 1–4 player cooperative physics-based fishing game in which players are stranded on a rocky islet and must survive by gathering clams and buying gear. Fishing is simple—cast, wait, reel—but caught sea life flops onto land and must be subdued using fists or purchased weapons up to guns; players can launch fish into the air and shoot them. The game also includes side activities such as barbecuing seagulls and gambling catches on slot machines and roulette, providing short, daft multiplayer sessions.

• Players start stranded on a barren, rocky islet and survive by picking clams that provide food or can be sold for cash by feeding them to an old seadog.
• Fishing mechanics: cast a line, wait for a bite, reel in; caught creatures flop, scuttle or crawl on land and must be subdued rather than simply added to inventory.
• Combat progression: initially unarmed players use fists, then can buy knives, brass knuckles and firearms to subdue or launch and shoot fish.
• Additional activities include barbecuing seagulls, gambling caught fish on slot machines and roulette, and interacting with NPCs dotted around the map.
