  • Launch of Tight Lines Fishing

    Monday, October 31 2011

    Today we are very proud to announce that we have officially launched our second game Tight Lines Fishing on Facebook.

    Tight Lines Fishing is a social game where players compete amongst each other online to catch the biggest fish. But it doesn’t stop there. You can train your skills, customize and equip better gear to catch bigger fish and explore the unique and colorful world. While exploring, you will meet new friends and funny characters who have tricky quests for you to fulfill and lots of fisherman’s stories to tell.

    At the start of the game, you inherit a piece of land from your uncle, a prestigious fisherman and fearless adventurer. Marv, a cranky old guy and the oldest, dearest friend of the family agrees to become your mentor and teaches you not only all there is to know about fishing, but also prepares you for exciting future adventures.

    Tight Lines Fishing tells a story and provides a colorful and cartoony representation of the real world. Even though the game has a realistic background, it is most important to create a fun experience. To achieve that, Tight Lines Fishing does not take itself too seriously. NPC’s in the game are eccentric and have funny stories to tell. Most of the fish exist in reality, but some of them do not. Want to search for Moby Dick or finally prove the existence of the monster of Loch Ness? This will be all possible in the world of Tight Lines Fishing.

    Happy Halloween

    As our launch is at the same time as Halloween, we are starting with an awesome Halloween special! Decorate your Home Area with Tombstones, Pumpkins and try to catch the biggest Zombie fish! Happy Halloween!
