Flick Fishing is a Feature-Rich iPhone Game that you’d Play Again and Again

Fishing games are among the popular game genres in the console gaming market. And so expectedly, the iPhone should also have its own fishing game. Actually, there are several fishing games available at the App Store, but not one comes close to the feature-rich, beautifully rendered and animated fishing game – Flick Fishing. Flick Fishing maybe a paid game app, but the $1.99 that you have to spend to get it is definitely more than enough for the long, fun hours that you’re going to devote playing the game alone, with your friends or with anybody in the iPhone network.

As its name suggests Flick Fishing is a fishing game which utilizes the iPhone’s accelerometer to control the basic movement of the game, which is casting your fishing rod onto the open sea by flicking your iPhone forward. Once you’ve casted your line, all you need to is wait for a fish to catch the bait. In the meantime, enjoy the animated environment which could include the smooth waves of the sea and river. Your fishing box moving from left to right, and birds hovering above the sea.

Once a fish catches the bait, you know it. The iPhone will vibrate a bit to signify that you have caught a fish. The next thing you know the rolling wheel for your fishing line will appear on the screen and you need to roll in the fishing line by tapping the icon in circular, clockwise motion. While reeling in your rod line, pay attention to the bar on top of the screen as it indicates the line’s tension. Once the bar fills with orange, it means your line has snapped and you’re back to square one. The second bar below the line tension bar indicates the fish strength as it struggles to free itself from the fish hook. It doesn’t really matter whether this bar is fully filled or not.

That’s basically how the game works. It’s a game of chance and luck as you don’t have too much control on the outcome of your fishing expedition.
