Released in 2011 for iOS and later for Android, the game has surpassed 5 million downloads on the Google Play Store. Players control a ninja who casts a fishing line, maneuvers it to avoid obstacles while descending, catches fish on the way up, and then slices them mid-air for points, similar to Fruit Ninja. The game has received over 105,000 reviews on Google Play, averaging a 3.9-star rating. Critically, Ninja Fishing holds a Metascore of 80/100 on Metacritic, indicating generally favorable reviews [4] .
