Reel Friends
Ages 6+Cast your line into the bubbly blue! Steer the sinking hook, scoop up finny friends on the way up, and upgrade your gear to reach the deep.
About This Game
Fishing Day, Every Day
Reel Friends brings the fishing-sim trend to little anglers. Tap the water to cast — your hook sinks into the blue while fish wiggle past. Slide to steer, dodge nothing, chase everything: on the way up, every fish you touch hops happily into your bucket.
Back at the surface, your catch turns into coins, and coins turn into gear: a longer rod, a faster reel, a bigger bucket.
Deeper, Shinier, Friendlier
The deeper you fish, the rarer the friends: sunnyfish near the top, puffballs and smiley-sharks below, and the wiggly octopus in the twilight zone. Each depth record is a celebration, and the water darkens beautifully as you descend.

Tips for Players
Upgrade the rod first — deeper water means rarer, pricier fish.
The bucket fills fast early on; a bigger bucket pays for itself quickly.
Fish wiggle on predictable lines — sweep across the water instead of chasing.
New depth records are worth celebrating: each one unlocks a cheer and bonus progress.

Accessibility note
Steering is a single gentle slide with a wide hook target, fish are large high-contrast emoji, and there is no way to fail a cast — an empty bucket simply means a free recast. The depth meter gives a clear visual progress cue.
Questions & Answers
Not at all — fish hop into the bucket for a visit, get counted, and swim back out at the dock. It is catch-and-cuddle.
