User Reviews on Casting Away
Looking for more information? Read a comprehensive review of Casting Away below:
We’re enjoying the game quite a lot so far. It’s very meditative and we love that it doesn’t take "energy" or "gems" or whatever to catch fish. We can just keep casting the line over and over, which is what pushed the game into five stars and justifying buying ad-free for us. It’s fun seeing and catching all the different kinds of fish and trying to work our way up to getting the fish way at the bottom. The art is pleasing and the fish designs are really cute. We do think it would be a good feature if we were able to use the fish in the fishing net as bait as well, instead of having to decide immediately after catching the fish whether or not to use it as bait.
Great game. Gameplay and graphics are great. And not a ton of forced ad gymnastics, but they are there if you want bonuses.
It will be so much better if it had controller support!
First off, we really dont like most modern in-app purchase heavy games. We are very happy that for Casting Away we were able to buy the remove ads one time and just play after that. Its very fun, a little challenging, a little repetitive. But you can spend as much or as little time on the game, its not very frustrating. As others have said, its really fairly relaxing. We think whatever crashing issue other reviewers posted about have been fixed.
This game is amazing but it has a couple of problems for us, First, we have been playing for three days and it restarted our daily streak, we dont know if you have fixed this. Moving on Some stuff is WAY to expensive, like when we want to buy a wood plank we have to go fishing At least a million times! At least make it a little less expensive. Heres our ideas, we think when its night you have to go to bed and you wake up in the morning, next we think that there should be at least one other thing to do ( even though the whole game is about fishing), we think that you should be able to go inside of your house and decorate it. Im not sure if you guys did do any of this already Because we havent played the whole game, thanks for reading, we LOVE UR GAME!!!
This game was really fun for the first two weeks. We loved the mechanics, explored deeper into the ocean, and caught blue whales pretty often, but it got really boring one day. All of a sudden, all we did in this game was collect the daily prize, and just repeated afterwards. We didnt really feel like fishing anymore. It just needed something else, there was too much fishing in this game. We understand that the base of the game is fishing and the literal name of the game is called casting away, but it was just way too repetitive. Could you make it so that you could explore more on land and build more structures? Please take this into consideration.
Would give it 5 stars if we could harvest right when you first catch a fish, the ability to use fish as bait from the net and if we could stack at least 2-3 buffs from food.
Really fun game but will randomly freeze or crash about once an hour. Maybe the solution is to play it for less than an hour at a time lol?
Love this game! We think it has so much potential. It would be cool if a crop field was added, and if you could produce fish meal in the farm for yore fish farm/tank. Would also be cool if you could raise/breed fish to use as bait/food source. Crashes sometimes, but this is rare and infrequent.
Basically we had a lot of progress on this game and we were already level 14 in the entire island but our brother as a way to get us mad uninstalls all our games and we downloaded this game again and none of progress saved so it was just a waste of time.
Without any updates, it suddenly stopped working and is just a black screen. Cant be played anymore. Oh well.
This game is literally great. Relaxing music, clear system of progression not too hard but rewarding. We really cant believe theres forced ads. What a buzzkill. The only way to turn a great game into a 3 star is forcing ads. We get you need to make money, but we think quality sells itself.
The game honestly is fun and its the game that you can get addicted to easily but every lets say 30 minutes the game just crashes and you have to restart it the ads are understandable but if the game is gonna break every 30 minutes atleast make the ads take longer to pop up.
We find the forced tutorials in games annoying. We’ve just discovered fishing, let us fish. Why do we have to explore every facet immediately though a tutorial that gives no autonomy? Couldnt make it through the intro. Might be a fun game, but if youre impatient you may end up the same road as us and quit within minutes.
Pros: – A good mindless game to pass time when you need a break from using your brain – Excellent soundtrack – Very calming Cons: – Unplayable when you dont have the buff that all bait starts at two stars – Incredibly frustrating to work your way up to three or four stars just to have a one-star fish nab it.
Give ability to upgrade the bait. Maybe with the dock, but make it possible to never have one star bait. By the time youre at a level 50 rod, reel and line, level three dock, then you have the professional fishing boat, you have to catch the right level fish and slowly upgrade the bait one level at a time to catch a big one and youve been casting like mad and youre almost there and a one star spawns in at the perfect moment Then you have a one star bait again. Then you play solitaire. We dont even think you have the option to use real money to upgrade the bait.
This game is really really fun in the beginning. Everything worked perfect and we were having an amazing time until day 3. On the third day of having this app every single time we would catch a new fish the app would crash. The app would pause & keep playing music (after we clear it off our phone). Then when we would go to log back on; it didnt even record the new fish we just caught. We tried it at least 4 times & every single time it crashed. We really wanted this app to work. It would be a really relaxing & enjoyable game if they would fix the bugs, but after awhile its just not worth it.
We like the idea of the game, and we love the graphics and that there are so many different areas to unlock upgrades in (home, farm, fishing gear, etc). This sounds counterintuitive but our main problem with the game is that the ads in the free version dont work. You can watch ads to do things like speed up food production and, most importantly, get 3x or 4x more resources when you find a treasure box. But every time we try to watch an ad we get the error message that ad cannot load right now which means we cant take advantage of any of those things. If this was fixed the game would be perfect!
What is the point of having so many fish you can catch but only being able to keep a low percentage in the two aquariums? More aquariums are needed if we are going to continue playing this game.
Cute and relaxing game but it makes our whole phone lag. Unfortunately Im gonna have to uninstall it.
Very fun and relaxing game at its core. The gameplay feels gratifying in the early levels, but quickly plateaus before eventually turning into a grind. After reading other reviews, we can see that many others feel the same. Around level 60 the upgrades become so expensive that it takes days/weeks worth of catching the same fish just to advance one level. Its disappointing because the game was pretty fun to play as a quick time killer. But at this point the enjoyment is tapped out. Im keeping the game installed with the hope that the developer continues to support it and make changes.
Fun game but crashes to much. Needs a fix.
We just download this game, we mean we just get past the tutorial and its already crashed twice. Im just playing the game and then we freezes for a little while and then crashes and kicks us out. We love the idea of the game but we wish it had less bugs. Its annoying us and Im thinking about deleting the game, please fix this issue.
Its a fun game at its core and the graphics are really beautiful. We got our husband hooked on this game and he already is a higher level than we am. Issues we have for the developers are that when we get the daily rewards and we get a pizza or a bbq skewer, we dont know where they go! The food buff is not activated, and they are not at our house (I have to buy the food if we want to eat it). Thats the main issue we are having. The fishing is getting a little bit old because money is hard to get and then you cant level up your rod to catch bigger fish. Also, we feel like we shouldnt lose our bait if we didnt catch a fish?? Nothing ate it so it makes more sense to keep it.
Overall an ok time waster. Hate the bait system though. It cost way to much to craft tiny little lures. Oh and the whole, we cant catch this type of fish because we dont have that rarity of bait.. It gets old fast.
We’ve played this game for months now. Put hours in, bought bait and so forth. However, we have not seen 3-4 of the non-summon only fish at all and that seems to be a bit strange. If playing north of 2 hours per day on this isnt enough to find all of the fish at this point then thats just a waste. It seems that the game simply did not make all of the fish on the fish list actually into the game. Why list fish to catch and then not put them in the game? Starting to seem like a big ole waste of time. Which, to be clear, wasting our time on a game would be fine if it was a game that could be completed. Down to waste time on that; do it all the time. Just not trying to waste our time on something unbeatable due to poor design or perhaps lack of completion.
Its fun at the start. But once you excel past the first few upgrades you hit a wall. This is by design, hoping to push you to impatience so you buy the currency with real money. Watch ads, pay money, or repeat the same boring task.
Once every 15 minutes of playing it crashes while out fishing, which results in losing some of our progress from that fishing trip.
So the game looks and feels really good. Kind of a zen/calm feel. However, the gameplay is just poorly thought out, particularly the bait system. It doesnt have a good progression, with competing factors like boat level, pole level, etc. While progression early on is lighting fast, you hit a wall quickly. You can unlock areas that you can catch almost none of the fish in, you spend a lot of time getting a single good piece of bait only to have a bad cast ruin it completely. Its very unforgiving which goes against the zen look/feel. Unless youre spending on micro transactions youll run out of currency quickly (because you essentially have to choose to sell a fish which means no bait for later casts, or use the fish as bait which means no money gained). This game was designed by graphic designers, not gamers- and the only way to win is to spend on micro transactions. Wish someone would take the graphical content from this game and actually put in on some compelling mechanics.
This game is great. Entertaining, calming, interactive, user friendly, you know, all the things. The problem we seem to have is that after 10 minutes of play, the game freezes. We have to force close the game and start again. Typically happens while fishing and anything currently on the line is lost at sea. It hasnt happened with a rare, timer catch yet but that could be frustrating. Overall, decent game aside from the frequent freezing.
Crashes about every 15 minutes. So frustratingly slow as well! Dont waste your time.
The first 2 days were enjoyable. But then its just a cycle of doing the same thing which is fishing.
We really cant be bothered with giving apps reviews but this one was an exception. It is so terribly designed to make you sit through ads or spend money. What a pathetic excuse of a game. We understand the developers have to put food on the table and thats fine but theres a proper way of accomplishing that. Not to mention the random ads that come up, immediate uninstall.
The game worked for a day, now just a black blank screen.
Yup major bug in this game. Want to like it but after 2 days we cant click on a single ad which makes the farm unplayable and Im waiting on even more glitches. Its apparent from the reviews the glitch has been happening for over a year and still isnt fixed. Great graphics for relaxing until it enrages u with this issue.
Take and sell your personal informations and spies on what apps you have and how you use them. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
We understand ads represent money for most games. We also dont play games that force ads to be watched as part of the content.
After 2 Days it kept freezing our phone, every time we said we dont want notifications. Uninstalled.
Didnt even play for that long before we realized its not very smoothly designed.
Game keeps shutting off, dont bother.
Purchased bait. Never got it. Stole $3 from me.
DONT DOWNLOAD. It froze on the allow notifications froze our whole screen, then when we turned off our phone our screen was still frozen with the allow notification box still frozen. We had to force a shutdown because our screen was unusable due to the pop up. Do not download.
In order to play, you have to agree to let the app track you. Sad, we really wanted to play this game but with that being required we deleted it instead.
DO NOT PLAY. All our progress including things we spent real money on suddenly all got deleted. Cant get anything back by hitting restore purchases.
We dont really understand why everyone hates this game. Its a great little fishing game!
This game has a really fun and relaxing environment behind it. The main focus is the fishing and upgrading for bigger and better. Would recommend for others to play. Okay feedback to devs: – Wish you could cast in either direction – the fact that fish have bait ratings; we dont think a 2 star bait fish should be able to take 3 star bait fish off the hook. Seems kinda useless considering with current fishing mechanics in place you cant maneuver around the smaller, cheaper fish. We have an issue where lesser fish spawn right in front of 3 star fish we’ve been poaching around to finally get. – hope to see the game expand more and maybe more interaction outside of fishing.
So we just downloaded this game and so far in the 2 hours we’ve played it, it has either frozen up on us and forced us to close it or it has closed all on its on right in the middle of getting the bigger fish we need to move forward. If you can fix that issue then Id absolutely give it 5 stars.
