Mobile fishing game with 1,000,000+ downloads
Overview
Fishing with Friends was a casual mobile fishing game that achieved over 1 million downloads through engaging gameplay and viral social features.
While I was there, I had the privilege to design and work on the core fishing mechanics, certain progressions systems as well as designing the social features along that improved player retention.
Being my 2nd internship, it was quite daunting but together with the lead designer, we managed to achieve quite a bit, designing fish biomes, certain patterns and alot more intricacies that really made the game feel more alive and engaging. I learnt so much here!
