Catfish Idle Pond

I was looking for another ilder like "Ropuka's Idle Island" and my discovery queue presented this little cutie. I like cats and fishing in video games so I was really happy to have a little fishing kitty as another desktop companion.

Awesome vibes, much serotonin.

Nice fish bowl game. Cute animations and models. Can't wait for next update.

I got this game because it is cozy and can be left alone in a tiny corner of my screen while I work. It doesn't take up a lot of space in my RAM so I can still work smoothly. I love the background music and sound effects it makes -- perfect for ambient noise while working. The other main reason I got the game is because of the orange cat, because my cat, Carrot, is orange. So I hope, in the next game updates, we can also personalize the name of the cat. Also the cat's color to mimic other cat's colors, if it's not too much. Very nice and chill game! ^o^

[Updated Review: 02/23/2026] If playing this to have a cure little desktop buddy with nice ambience and unlockable content, then I fully recommend this game. If playing for the dopamine hit and neuron activation of seeing number go up, then my previous update might be relevant, BUT dev is working on an update with multiple improvements which will likely address most of my gripes. I will be deleting my save and starting again once that happens :) [Updated Review: 02/02/2026] Ok, I have reached over 100hrs on Catfish Idle Pond. I do still think it's neat, and I plan on 100% it, however I think I might have to change my review to not recommended. This is primarily due to what feels like a bug with the different fish sets. Currently the cheapest fish in my "Standard" fish set is worth $480 and the most expensive is worth $55,740. Nice, right? Well the cheapest fish in my Mechanical and Celestial sets are worth $21 and $26 respectively and the most expensive are $1480 and $1514 respectively. This honestly felt pretty bad because I assumed that the new sets would actually be worth more than the original set. Honestly, even if all sets were worth similar amounts, that would be fine, bu…

Fun idle game :)
