Review: Ridiculous Fishing for iOS lives up to its name, but in a good way

Ridiculous Fishing, a $3 universal app for iOS, is the story of a fisherman who is uniquely committed to piscine genocide: he riddles his catches with bullet holes. Featuring different gameplay motions—you toss the line, reel in the lure, and then shoot your haul, all within a single round—Ridiculous Fishing is fun without being too repetitive. Paired with a premise that’s just, well, ridiculous, it’s not hard to see why the app is rapidly gaining App Store popularity.

This mobile masterpiece is a reboot of Radical Fishing, an online Flash-based game also designed by indie gaming studio Vlambeer. According to Rami Ismail, Vlambeer’s business and development lead, both games were inspired by actual, real-life tuna fish coursing languidly through the sky.
