London, United Kingdom – Strange Flavour Ltd. today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Fish! 1.2, an important feature update to their popular Apple TV and iOS game title. The the sequel to the company’s hit iOS game Flick Fishing, players can fish in 10 gorgeous living 3D locations for 32 different kinds of fish and unlock them to show off in their virtual aquarium.
Version 1.2 brings a lot more requested features and continues the legacy of Flick Fishing, the game that set the standard for mobile fishing games when it was launched on the App Store in 2008:
* The game’s UI and a lot of the underlying structure has been completely re-written. We’ve kept the original Flick Fishing game code of course, but the way the UI was written made it difficult for us to update, add new fish, locations etc. and made it tricky to keep the iOS and Apple TV versions in sync. The new setup should make it easier to do more regular future updates and hey, maybe even a Mac version?
* New Network multiplayer. The entire network game has been completely rewritten, enhancing reliability and making it more practical for it to work cross platform with Apple TV (or Mac).
* Collections! A popular feature of the original game, the 4 junk items from the first release were expanded to a whole sea of random junk that you could collect in sets to cash in for various upgrades. In Fish!, the collections can be traded in for all sorts of upgrades and extra game modes.
* A Fish Guide! The Flick Fishing Megaguide was a very popular IAP item when it was introduced and gave players a heads up on where to catch all the fish. The Fish Guide starts simple, with suggestions of 3 different fish you can catch in each spot but can be upgraded by collecting sets of treasure items to full details of all fish, what bait, what cast distance and even a Fish Computer that shows what fish you’re likely to hook when you cast.
* Xtreme and Night Mode fishing spots. Unlocked via the collections, these modes give you a whole new spin on the various fishing spots (as well as potential for bigger fish).
* New Fish. Only a couple for this update, but many more coming.
* A new fishing spot.
* Definitely more Cobia! For some reason, the Cobia were set to being extremely rare and hard to catch. They’ve been tempted back with more cake for this version.
* Stickers!
* iPhone X Compatibility
* There’s also a ton of fixes and tweaks under the hood and there’s more coming.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* Apple Watch support
* 247 MB
