Ninja Fishing
[edit | edit source]Gamenauts' 2011 game Ninja Fishing is a fishing game where the player fishes for sea creatures and treasure, and slices them with a katana, which rewards cash, upgrades, and collectible loot.[3] The game has two sections of gameplay: during the fishing stage, the player tilts the screen to control a fishing hook as it descends, and, once successfully reeled in, swipes a finger around the screen to slice fish and treasure while avoiding dynamite, in the style of Fruit Ninja.[4] Ninja Fishing was noted by Gamasutra as being similar to the game mechanics of Radical Fishing by Vlambeer.[5] In 2013, Vlambeer published Ridiculous Fishing, with the highest rated reviews of the year.[6]
