Shipwrecked? Learn how to fish, bonk the catch & sail home! Fishing game offline
Your boat sank. You washed up on a tiny island with a fishing rod and zero idea what you are doing. The only way home? Learn to fish – and get really, really good at it.
Reel Island is a physics fishing game with a real story and a real ending. Cast, hook, fight and bonk your way across four wild islands, beat a giant boss fish on each one, salvage the parts of your boat and sail home. It is an offline fishing game, so you can play anywhere – on a plane, on the beach, with no Wi-Fi. If you ever wanted a simple how to fish game for your phone, start here.
LEARN TO FISH, ISLAND STYLE
• Drag back and release to cast – power and angle decide where the float lands
• The farther you cast, the rarer the fish
• Watch the float: nibble, nibble… BITE! Swipe up to strike
• Hold to reel, let go to ease off – keep the line tension in the green
• Too tight and the line snaps, too loose and the fish slips away
• Every fish fights its own way: sprinters, jerkers and heavy haulers
BONK THE CATCH
Your fish flies over the pier and flops around like crazy. Tap it before it flops back into the water! Hit it while it is still in the air for a TRICK and a big coin bonus. No other fishing game makes landing a fish this loud.
FOUR ISLANDS, FOUR BOSS FISH
Sunny Palm Cove, the misty Mangrove Bayou, the icy Frost Fjord and the boiling Volcano Reef. Each fishing island has its own fish, its own quests from a local character and its own boss fish to beat: the Barnacle King, Old Mossjaw, Frostfang the Ice Sturgeon and Cinderjaw the Magma Shark. Boss fish fight in phases – bring a strong line!
UPGRADE YOUR GEAR
Sell your catch at the stall and upgrade your rod, line, reel, bait, mallet and bucket. Every upgrade works right away: cast farther, reel faster, hook rare fish and bonk harder.
RARE FISH COLLECTION
36 species to discover, and every fish has a rare color variant. Locked fish show up in the atlas as grey shadows with a hint where to find them. Finished the story? Start New Game+ and keep hunting for the full rare fish collection.
A CASTAWAY FISHING ADVENTURE WITH A HAPPY END
Part survival fishing game, part cozy fish island game. You start as a clueless castaway, desert island fishing for your dinner, and finish as the angler who beat four boss fish. It is not an endless fishing roguelike grind – it is a clear learn-how-to-fish adventure from shipwreck to home in about 2–3 hours, and after the credits the fishing never has to stop.
