About This Game

Cozy Fishing

Tadpole Tides is a cozy fishing game set on small islands. Every island is randomly generated in one of three biomes: Meadow, Swamp or Desert. Choose your main island to settle into.

There are more than 120 fish to catch, and each one has its own personality. Every bite starts a reel minigame, and the fish you caught decides how it plays. A common fish is forgiving. Rarer ones are a little tricky and can reverse the dial’s direction, slow the spin, or add more red tension zones.

Fish come in five rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Mythic. Certain fish only appear in specific biomes under the right conditions, so filling your journal means exploring at different times and weather.

Better gear gets you better fish. Upgrade your equipment to cast farther out where more mythical fish are, reel faster and improve your luck. The islanders can help you find new bait, bobbers, and lures, so there’s always something to spend your catch on.

Mine for gemstones and other materials to unlock new lures for catching the more fantastical fish.

Decorate your island with furniture that you and the islanders can use. Repair your home and rebuild the landmarks on the island.
