The Fish-Game Store-Listing Autopsy
A German-language comparison of ten Android fish and fishing games, based on their Play Store cards, screenshots, ratings, advertising labels, and stated mechanics.
Field notes
The comparison uses four gameplay groupings based on what the player’s fingers do: boards and tiles, passive aquariums, line-and-cast arcade play, and a pixel-art fishing adventure. Its evidence comes from German Play Store listings read on 11 September 2026, including ratings, USK guidance, advertising labels, purchase limits, and screenshots. One documented discrepancy is Fishdom’s board, which displays crabs, frogs, shells, and starfish while the fish apparently belong to the aquarium layer rather than the puzzle itself.
