Frequently Asked Questions about Idle Fishing: Deep Dive

How do you play Idle Fishing: Deep Dive?
Tap the water to cast. The hook sinks until it touches a fish or runs out of line, so on the way down you dodge. Then it comes back up, and you hold and slide to steer it into as many fish as the hook can carry. Catches close together chain a combo. Every fish is sold when the hook surfaces.
How many zones and fish are there?
Six zones, each a chapter: Pond, River, Reef, Kelp Forest, Abyss and Trench. Each has six fish and a boss on its floor, 42 in the album in all. Jellyfish from the Reef down cut your last catches, and currents push the hook sideways.
How do you beat a boss?
Upgrade your Line until the hook reaches the zone's floor, then tap fast to reel the boss in. Your Reel level and your best lure make each tap stronger. Landing a boss opens the next zone.
How does the lure merge work?
The tackle board has 12 slots. Buy lures with coins, tap one and then another of the same tier, and they merge into the next tier, from Worm up to Star. Your best lure multiplies every catch and adds golden luck.
Does it earn while I am away?
Yes. Once you buy a boat level, your crew fishes while you are gone and fills the cooler. When you come back, one tap collects it. The Cooler upgrade decides how many hours it fills before it stops.
How is this different from Tiny Fishing?
Tiny Fishing is our quick one-button casting game. Idle Fishing: Deep Dive adds steering on the way up, combos, six zones with bosses, an album of 42, a lure merge board, five upgrade lines, a crew that earns while you are away and daily tasks.
Is Idle Fishing: Deep Dive free?
Yes. It is free to play on PlayBrain, with no download and no sign-up. Your coins, lures and album save in this browser, so use the same browser to carry on. It needs a browser with WebGL, which every current desktop and phone browser has.

About Idle Fishing: Deep Dive

Idle Fishing: Deep Dive is a casting game with an idle heart, drawn in a painted side view of the water. Each cast takes ten to thirty seconds: the hook sinks past fish you want to avoid, then rises while you steer it into as many as it can carry, chaining combos and chasing golden fish. Six zones work as chapters, from the Pond and the River down through the Reef, the Kelp Forest and the Abyss to the Trench, each with six fish, its own hazards (jellyfish that cut catches, currents that push the hook) and a boss on its floor that you reel in by tapping. The coins go on five upgrade lines and on lures, which you merge on a twelve slot tackle board from a Worm up to a Star. An album of 42 fills as you go, a crew fishes while you are away, and three daily tasks, a fish of the day and a daily gift keep each visit short and worth it.

Want something quicker? Tiny Fishing is our one button casting game: drop the line, catch what it touches and upgrade.

How to Play

  1. Tap the water to cast. On the way down the first fish touched hooks, so dodge to go deeper.
  2. On the way up, hold and slide to steer the hook into fish. Catches close together chain a combo.
  3. Spend coins on Line (depth), Hooks (fish per cast), Reel, Crew and Cooler.
  4. Buy lures and tap two of the same tier to merge them. The best lure multiplies every catch.
  5. Reach a zone's floor and tap fast to land its boss. That opens the next zone.
