Beginner’s Guide
The game’s core fishing mechanic features a mini-game, in which players will need to balance the “Control Bar” below a fish icon to fill the Progress Bar located underneath it.
Using better rods with more innate Control will ease the process, and other factors can increase the Progress Speed at which the Progress Bar is filled.
Fishing Mechanics:
- Casting:
- When near a body of water, players can hold down the [Left Mouse Button] to cast their lines. Perfectly timing and releasing the [Left Mouse Button] will result in a Perfect cast.
- Shake:
- After casting their lines, players can “Shake” their bait by clicking on the “Shake” pop-ups which randomly appear on their screens. Doing so will increase the speed at which fish get hooked.

- Holding down the [Left Mouse Button] will cause the Control Bar to move to the right.
- Releasing the [Left Mouse Button] will cause it to go all the way to the left.

About The Developer
- The original main developer is a Canadian Roblox developer best known as WoozyNate.
- In his own words, WoozyNate developed Fisch from scratch in just four months. Handling everything himself: modeling, scripting and building the world.
- Growing up in Nova Scotia had a huge impact, considering his main inspiration for Fisch came from real-world fishing, and from games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing.
- The name Fisch is a subtle tribute to Jenna Fischer (actress from the Office.)
- As Fisch rapidly grew in popularity, WoozyNate decided to partner with Do Big Studios, in order to help supporting ongoing development.
- After a period of time, Do Big stepped down from development, and returned more control to WoozyNate.
