I still remember that summer, my SP screen was glowing with a faint backlight, and the headphone cable stretched out from the quilt, connected to the MP3 speaker - in fact, I used it as an external speaker. At that time, there was no such high-definition 3D fishing. The pixelated fish shadows flashed under the water, and I had to press buttons frantically to reel in the line. Now open "Fishing Master" on your mobile phone, watching the high-definition blue waves, and the damping feeling when the fishing line is thrown out, it really feels like the old days.
To be honest, I was a little picky when I first played the mobile version. The fishing game on the original GBA is all about rhythm and luck. After throwing the pole, you stare at the water in a daze, and you have to react instantly when the buoy sinks. It feels so hardcore. But "Fishing Master" turned this waiting into enjoyment - a real 3D scene, the light and shadow changes were very real, the fish vibrated when it bit the hook, and my wrist flicked. The moment the big fish took the bait, I actually said "hey" in front of the mobile phone screen. My wife asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Youth is back."
There are so many fish species in the game, from crucian carp in the river to mysterious giants in the deep sea. Unlocking new fish farms step by step is just like fishing in "Hard Farm Story". You always want to collect all the illustrations. Especially now that it supports large-screen high-definition devices. As soon as you put the tablet on, the sound effects, rushing water sounds and immersive BGM make you feel like you are an old fisherman sitting by the river. Although I have never done much fishing in real life, the process of throwing the rod, waiting for the drift, shaking the wrist, and reeling in the line in the game is very realistic, and the tension and tightness of the line are paid attention to.
I also tried to compare it with the classic handheld fishing works in my memory - the one on the NDS that used a stylus to swing the rod. It felt very fresh at the time, but now the swiping operation with the mobile game is smoother. But there is one thing to say, the mobile game version can be upgraded quickly and has less krypton points, so you can play it for free, which is quite conscientious. We are not familiar with the developer Shenyang Zongyi Technology, but it can make fishing such an addictive tone. It really understands the little impulses in the players' hearts.
While fishing, I remembered that after school in those years, several buddies gathered around an SP to play fishing competitions. Whoever caught the big fish would be treated to spicy chips. Now they are going their separate ways, but when I open this game, the familiar waiting, expectation, and surprise are like a stretched fishing line, pulling the time on the other side of the memory. Throw the pole, our whole summer might be hidden under the water. 🎣
