Idle Fishing Story 4+

Great during events

I basically play for the events because it seems to move so much faster and goals are achievable unlike the regular game. I am stuck at level 10 milestone 13/14 and can’t earn enough cash to upgrade my dock worker and truck. I am fishing up plenty. It’s been 3 weeks and I still have to upgrade 2 more times before it lets me go to the next island. Seems like no end in sight. Oh well, at least there’s the next event! Those are quite lovely and rewarding. Btw, I don’t mind watching ads since I don’t want to spend any money. I know they have to keep the game running. I just wish there were more rewards for chests after you reach this point in the game. All I get is a little cash now from the little chests. No more cards or pearls.

Edit: After my review (like maybe less than 24 hours!) I could see that they added a new milestone and cards that dropped in chests again! Thanks for listening guys! Changed my review to 5 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Fun, But Balance Issues

Pros: The basic premise here is, you have 3 systems that all need to be leveled to make money: your boats to catch the fish, your dock to transport the fish, and your truck to take the fish away and sell them. The idea is that you should keep an eye on how productive all 3 systems are, and not waste money over-leveling one, since it won’t do any good if the other 2 can’t keep pace. You’re always looking to hit the next tier of upgrades, which gets you a significant boost in productivity, and helps you work past any bottlenecks. This was originally a very fun balancing act, and has a lot of potential.

Cons: Now I’m on level 6, and I’ve hit a massive bottleneck with my trucking upgrades. Currently sitting on a backlog of 233 billion fish, even though I only collect about 5 million/sec. And there’s no end close in sight to the next tier of upgrades. I’m at least 3 days away before I can clear the bottleneck. I’m not sure if this is an accidental balancing issue, or an intentional one to direct me toward premium currency. Either way, this needs fixing if it’s going to stay interesting.

Updated

Edit: I was awarded my gems back and appreciate the quick response. Thank you!

Why would you make things that cost exorbitant amounts of gems without a confirmation button? THREE times now I’ve lost my gems trying to scroll down and accidentally touched a captain. There goes my gems and I have asked several times for a refund and have no received one.

I love this game but that is incredibly ridiculous and I will no longer be making in-app purchases until my gems are returned to me.
