More about this game
In this fishing tycoon game, your goal is to build a massive harbor by catching whales and selling their meat. The core loop involves aiming your harpoon, reeling in catches weighing up to 200 LB, and processing them into chunks. You carry the meat to waiting customers to earn cash. As you play, the difficulty scales by requiring more expensive upgrades, like a 1300-bill cargo crane. A run never truly ends, but you reach the finale when you fully automate your port and export shipments.
Tips
- Stand on the Sell x2 station when your meat pile is full to double your income from the customer queue.
- Buy the fire arch early so your whales roast automatically on the conveyor belt instead of needing manual cooking.
- Hire the harpooner for 200 bills to automatically catch and reel in whales while you manage the cargo exports.
