Start out on an island with a basic rod. Progress into a radar-wielding master fisher-cat scouring the sea for the biggest and baddest fish. Each fish has unique behaviors that you will learn to exploit as you tailor your arsenal of fishing rods to suit your style of play. Mrrrow!

Just a heads up: this update is mostly about bug fixes and performance improvements, with little new content. However, Cat Goes Fishing DOES run at 60 FPS now, so we're calling this a Major Update. I tried to make the changelog as complete…
C0010To celebrate Halloween, we've added a few new fish costumes. We've also finally added the long awaited "Witchy" hat, as well as a new Halloween exclusive fish.
Patch notesNow press "Enter" to slow velocity while swimming (instead of "Space"); this no longer drains O2. Flicking with an uncooled Magmer on the line now snaps the line. Added 3 new fish (one contest winner) and a new hat. Phase 100% no longer…
Patch notesWhile the silo is still firmly sealed, there is a new patch out now! You will first need to discover how to unlock the Tech Boat before you can set out to catalog the dozens of new fish that our talented artist, Formex326, has brought to…
C0010Made swimming a little more fun, made some visual changes, and patched a few bugs. Even added a few fish, but no major content changes. Save files should be more stable, and they are saved redundantly now, but your mileage may vary. Maybe…
Patch notesMythic hats are now purchasable after level 45. Slightly increased spawn rate for some huge fish. Fixed a bug causing Bombats not to bite rocks. Fixed a bug preventing the Mamo from being caught. Other minor bug fixes.

CaseyI'm happy to announce a soft fix for the 100 quest achievement bug. It is now possible to reset the catalog: just open it and click "reset". Doing so should reset your quest progress. If you have been experiencing the quest bug and this…
Casey- Flick now works even when the line isn't snagged; i.e., it's actually a useful upgrade! Flicking repeatedly is less effective. - Space bar now works like left click. - And there's a few new small fish. Nothing fancy, but expect more soon~…
CaseyWe decided a new round of performance improvements was overdue. This is a more aggressive version of the last performance patch; we're hoping to make room for an upcoming content update. In addition to performance improvements, there were a…

CaseyCat has a new toy: the sinker. Below the dark depths live curious creatures who call the caverns home. They've spent centuries slumbering in darkness, and some would assume stay, but Cat has other plans. Discover 30+ new fish, two new…
