Tiny Fishing

Game Overview

Tiny Fishing is a browser-based fishing simulator developed by Mad Buffer and released in December 2020. Cast your line into the depths, catch colorful fish, and earn money to upgrade your gear. The deeper you go, the rarer and more valuable the fish become. Each fishing trip brings you closer to discovering legendary creatures lurking in the ocean's depths.

The game features a simple yet rewarding loop: cast your line, drag your hook to catch fish, sell them for coins, and invest in upgrades to reach deeper waters. With offline earnings that continue even when you're away, every return to the game brings pleasant surprises.
