GREAT GAME I LOVE IT WHILE WORKING/PLAYING OTHER GAMES! also petition to add a multiplayer option so I can fish with a friend beside me

This is the first one of those "sits on your desktop in a transparent window" games i've purchased, mainly because to me they look a bit lacking in depth and things to do, even for an idle game. Cornerpond does not really address this issue, but as a game themed around fishing it feels a lot more fitting considering "sitting around doing nothing" is how it works in real life too!

That being said, I kind of find myself wishing that it had more going on- there's no seasons or weather, bait doesn't affect what fish you can catch, time of day doesn't matter either (could have been fun with some system clock shenanigans). Nevertheless, I like the simple tapping minigame, the presentation and sound design is very cute, and the QOL settings are very nice. I enjoyed having it set to only notify me when a big fish was on the line, letting it do its thing and stopping whatever I was doing when I heard the sound. I would recommend Cornerpond to people who want something cute to go on their second monitor or Fishing Minigame Addicts, but don't go in expecting anything in depth like fishing in Final Fantasy 14, Stardew Valley, or hell, even Animal Crossing... its more similar to botting in an MMO and checking it every so often to make sure it didn't break.

Also I really like the fish they drew in the trailer :)

fishing is really just nature's gacha

and i'm addicted
