ULTIMATE FISHING is an MMO-game fishing simulator with realistic graphics on Unity.

In 2016 GamoVation offered to create a fishing simulator from scratch on a partnership basis. Launch of the game initially was planned in browsers on WebGL and smartphones. First WebGL version created for 9 months, later the game was released only for mobile platforms.

Target audience of the game: 40+ men.

The essence of the game: to fish in an accessible location, accumulate star points to discover new game worlds.

ULTIMATE FISHING has 12 game locations from the real world each of which is different:
• type of water - salt / fresh;
• fishing equipment;
• type of fish;
• background.

Players cannot use the same fishing equipment in different locations. Players need a strong rod, line and hook, and special bait to catch rare fish.

In the game was planned to add new fishing areas and new fish weekly to keep players interested.

Imitation of glittering water and fish accompanied by sound effects in realistic animation creates the feeling of fishing in nature.
