Another day, another small indie title takes the world by storm. This time, we’re talking about fishing, guns, and some truly ridiculous trick-shots. How to Fish is a new co-op game where you and your friends travel to remote islands, discover new wildlife, and turn your catches into cash through gambling, trick-shots, and plenty of chaos.

1 Million Fishermen

Overall, it sounds like a completely absurd, yet surprisingly fun concept that players have quickly taken a liking to. So much so that How to Fish has already sold over 1 million copies in just a few days.

Naturally, the game’s sheer absurdity is likely a major reason for its sudden surge in popularity. The game is practically built to generate hilarious clips, giving content creators plenty of ridiculous moments to post online. And honestly, watching someone pull off a trick shot on a fish is exactly the kind of chaotic nonsense that can make an indie game explode overnight.

Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a multiplayer indie game made by a small team suddenly take off. When you combine a simple concept with hilarious gameplay and plenty of opportunities for viral moments, sometimes all it takes is a few good clips to reel in an audience.

If this sounds up your alley, or you’re just looking for another game to play with your friends, you can grab a copy on Steam for under 5$ while it’s on sale!
