Flick Fishing: Digital Fishing Phenomenon.

Wow.  Honestly, this is an extraordinary app.  A great fishing simulation and so addictive.  Flick Fishing is well, a fishing simulation game, complete with quests, tournaments, wi-fi multiplayer, and free fishing.  The ultimate goal of the game is to catch different species of fish in the greatest weight possible.  It takes skill to master this game (and probably some background fishing knowledge).  Whether or not you like fishing you will surely like this app.

You start off in a small pond, to cast your line you literally swing your iphone.  The smoother your swing the better, this takes practice, and keeps you involved in the game.  Once you’ve practiced up a bit, you’ll be ready for the more difficult (and rewarding) fishing spots.  They’re six fishing spots to choose from, and a lodge where you will receive missions and fishing tips from an old sailor looking to fill his aquarium with a bountiful of fish.  You can already see there’s a lot to keep you involved in this game.  there’s even an ‘Extreme Fishing’ mode.

The whole fishing experience is fantastic, you can choose between many baits and lures, all attracting a different kind of fish.  So many factors are involved for the catch, how fast you reel in your line, bobbing the line with the accelerometer (tilt) controls, and how far you were able to cast.  The fish will even fight back from being caught, the game will even show your line tension.  Mishaps occur, and your line can snap or the fish can escape.  When you do catch that marvelous fish, the ‘Brag’ button is waiting for you, email your fish to your friends!

Graphics are superb, each fishing spot is detailed and looks very realistic.  Sound effects are perfect, from seagulls in the air to waves and splashes on your boat.  Your boat moves with the waves and rocks back and forth, everything is in a perfect simulation of real life fishing.

You can tell the developers took the time on this layout.  The fishing spots are plotted out on a delightful map and each will give a description, difficulty rating, and the popular catch.  In your high scores area you can swipe through your tournament scores, catches, and trophies.  You can even rotate the iphone to landscape mode and the catches area will turn into a virtual aquarium.

We’re all wrapped up for this app!  I highly recommend it, you will have fun on so many levels with this app.  If you happen to be a vegan or something and find this app outrageous, remember, it’s a simulation, (and fun as hell).
