What is How to Fish?
A physics based fishing simulator for one to four players. You are drinking and boating, you crash into a small island, and the only way home is to learn to fish.
The loop is short to describe and long to master: catch creatures, kill and sell them, buy better rods, lures and weapons, finish quests, beat the island boss, then sail to the next island where the creatures hit harder and the gear gets better.
Five locations carry the run — Lighthouse, Forest, Desert, Rocks and Volcano. This wiki uses the location names rather than island numbers, because sources number them differently.
