How to Play Fish rain
The basics are dead simple: cast, wait, hook, repeat. But mastering the upgrades and chasing rare fish? That's the real grind.
Casting and Hooking Your Catch
You start by tapping the big circular hook button (or pressing the down arrow key on PC) to cast your line. Your bobber drops into the water, and you wait. When it dips and shakes, hit the button again to hook the fish. On PC, you can spam the up arrow to re-cast to your last spot, which speeds things up once you find a good fishing hole. Mobile players just tap the screen.
Deciding What to Do With Your Fish
Every fish you catch gives you a choice: release it for experience stars or sell it for silver coins. Here's where the ad system kicks in—both options have a little x3 icon. Watch a short ad and you triple your reward. It's optional, but if you want to level up your abilities faster, you'll be tempted. Heavier fish mean more coins, so landing a 2kg carp feels way better than a 380-gram tench.
Upgrading Your Fishing Abilities
The "Abilities" menu is your progression hub. You've got six stats to upgrade—things like catch rate, fish value, and bait effectiveness. Each ability goes from 1 to 100, and costs ramp up fast. You spend silver coins (soft currency) or gold coins (premium currency) to inch forward. This is pure incremental grind territory: every upgrade makes the next catch slightly more profitable, which funds the next upgrade, and so on.
Who is Fish rain for?
This is for casual players who want something they can zone out to. If you're looking for a game to play while half-watching TV or chatting with friends, this nails it. It's family-friendly—no violence, no pressure—and the live chat feature makes it weirdly social for a fishing game. Kids will enjoy the simple loop, and older players who grew up on early mobile fishing sims will recognize the formula instantly. Not for anyone seeking deep strategy or fast action.
The Gameplay Vibe
It's chill, almost meditative. The backgrounds are static photos of real lakes—pretty, but there's zero animation besides your bobber and some floating UI elements. Sound design tries to sell the atmosphere with water lapping, bug noises at night, and the occasional splash, but the visuals are basic. The fish you catch pop up as simple 2D illustrations on the reward screen. Everything feels like a budget mobile game stretched to desktop, which honestly matches the "simple-games" and "borwser-games" vibe. You're not here for cutting-edge graphics; you're here to click and watch numbers go up.
Technical Check: Saves & Performance
The game auto-saves your progress in your browser's local storage, so as long as you don't clear your cache or switch browsers, you're good. Performance-wise, this runs on basically anything—it's a lightweight web game with minimal animations, so even older phones or low-spec PCs should handle it fine. Fullscreen mode works smoothly, and I didn't notice any lag during my session.
Quick Verdict: Pros & Cons
A decent pick if you want brainless relaxation, but don't expect innovation.
- ✅ Pro: Huge variety of fish and locations keeps things mildly interesting.
- ✅ Pro: The live chat feature adds a surprising social element—sharing trophy catches is actually fun.
- ❌ Con: The ad-multiplier system gets annoying fast if you're trying to progress without watching videos every 30 seconds.
Controls
Controls are responsive and simple. PC keyboard shortcuts make the loop faster once you memorize them.
- Desktop: Arrow keys to cast (↑), hook (↓), sell (→), release (←). Space for landing net, Enter to confirm actions. Mouse works for everything too.
- Mobile: Tap the hook button to cast and reel. Tap the reward buttons to sell or release. All touch-based, very intuitive.
