AppAdvice: When you initially open the game, it asks you if you are a first time fisher or already experienced. I like that the game does not automatically assume that you have played before, even though this is a sequel to the original game. If you are a first time fisher the game takes you through the informative tutorial. I loved the tutorial, because after it was over, I felt like I could play the game without worrying about having any misunderstandings. Once the tutorial has ended, you are free to move on to the first location in the game.
While it’s no secret that advanced high end graphics tend to be a game title’s winning edge, a title that combines an elementally challenging gameplay premise with superior graphics is bound to have a winning edge.

I hate it when games claim to be f2p but require you to either pay for a "full" version or to buy coins in the game so that you can continue playing. Its why I don't really enjoy mobile games at the moment. I know that any other legitimate game requires a purchase, but they don't advertise f2p only for you to have to pay.
It certainly looks like an attractive game and it just adds impetus to the fact that a wave of mobile gaming is coming our way. Looking forward to it :)
While it’s fun at its core the experience ends too quickly before asking for a handout, ultimately making it just another fish in a crowded sea of apps trolling for your money.
