-Quick Review-
Shut up, I’m fishing.
I don’t know how many other games have imitated Animal crossing, I suppose there are games like Stardew Valley, or other House/Family/Fishing/Farming games. Webfishing is if all the animal crossing characters decided to go on a vacation to exclusively fish.
Webfishing was developed by Lamedeveloper, and released in 2024.

-Detailed breakdown review-
Story: It was a dark and stormy night…
Actually it wasn’t, it was a cozy weekend in October when I decided our collective gaming group should try out Webfishing, I’d seen a short video online about Webfishing and decided tonight is the night!
We dropped into the tutorial zone as the default White Cat’s, quickly figured out how to move around and cast our fishing rods. Then upon mastery of the basics we quickly figured out how to customize our characters, some of us changed to Dogs, and we all changed up our faces and colors.
One of us exclusively wore clothing he fished up, so we dubbed him a “homeless-beach-bum-who-was-provided-for-by-the-ocean”. My method was to try to make my character look progressively grumpier (Matching my personality). He started out as a Green haired Dogo with Goofy Side-eye jokes, but after unlocked eyes which looked like he had fought in Vietnam my character became more and more disheveled in appearance, so of course I had to purchase a cigarette cosmetic to match, and as I’ve continued to play, I unlocked an eye patch, and grumpier and grumpier looking faces.
Webfishing can be cute, but it does have a bit of a raunchy sense of humor sometimes, like in the Titles and in item descriptions. Is this a bad thing? No! If anything the game is more endearing to me.

Gameplay: Webfishing is either a Chill fishing game, or and idle chatroom game. It’s also kinda both. We enjoyed jumping into the game and voice chatting on discord, however some people might just drop into random servers to talk to people (but I’m not doing that). It’s fishing, so you’re only occasionally doing something, it’s relaxing. You find a place cast into the Ocean, River, or Lake… and wait for a fish to bite. It’s pretty easy to have a conversation while you wait.
The fishing mechanics are simple; You can cast into the occasional ripple on the surface of the water to get a near instant bite. After you get something on the hook you click and hold the mouse button to reel it in. As you’re reeling in a fish, you’ll hit white bars on the fishing rod icon which require you to “MASH” the button for a certain number of times, after you’ve MASHED you can go back to clicking and holding. At first, I thought I had to mash the button the rest of the way to get the fish caught… Don’t do that.
Say you got a bite, and your fishing rod icon has 3 white bars, one with 10, one with 15, one with 20. Once you reach the first bar you’ll need to button mash 10 times, then once you get to the second white bar you’ll mash 15 times, and lastly once you get to the third bar you’ll mash 20 times… After and between mashing you just hold down the button to reel the fish in.
You get better fish by using better bait, (“Better Fish” are actually the same fish but “Better Rarity/Quality”), better fish sell for more money, but better fish require more button mashing (it gets a little scary after you see a several hundred button mash fish on the hook), so unless you own a turbo mouse or an Auto clicking Macro or something, you’ll want to upgrade your fishing rod.
You can upgrade power, reeling speed, catch chance, luck, and bait quantity. You can also pick up a variety of tackle which can help you catch specific sizes of fish, get extra bonus money each catch, or even to potentially catch double the fish!
You can also buy many cosmetics such as facial features, clothes, colors, and accessories.

What Else can you do on Webfishing?
At this time there’s not much you can do except for fishing, and chilling…
But there are a few other things you can do. You can walk around with a metal detector to find trash to trade in for treasures. As you fish, you’ll complete quests which can be redeemed at the town board for titles, money or cosmetics. You’re also making progress towards your fish Journal collection, you’ll sometimes fish up extra money and even Treasure chests, there’s no “housing”, “homes” or “displays” for your fish at this time (which I would love to have a place to display all the fish I’ve caught) but for now there is a community Aquarium where you can slap your favorite fish into… or do what I do which is take the biggest obnoxious looking fish and put it in there so you can’t see anything else… I only wish the fish would stick outside the aquarium house.
I suppose there is one more thing I can think of you can do in Webfishing. You can gamble; there are scratch tickets you can buy and scratch off – It’s hilarious! And the jokes kinda start to get a little too realistic when we gamble away all our hard-earned fishing money.

Conclusion: Webfishing is great! Feel free to send me suggestions for chill relaxing games like this one. I didn’t even get Webfishing on sale; the price is already more than reasonable at five dollars! This isn’t a competitive fishing game, or a traveling fishing game… It’s just a cozy little fishing game to boot up and chill while you chat, or watch something on the TV, or watch my YouTube Videos Cuz that would be really nice of you.
