Black Hole Fishing
Black Hole Fishing is an absurd incremental game about catching, breeding, and perfecting SO MANY fish. Catch a fish, optimize its traits, then stock your pond with it as you pour fish and science into an endless singularity!

“Pretty good! The fish breeding and customizing made this more engaging than many other incremental games. I recommend playing this if you like incrementals.”
— a player, Steam review · 72 hrs played“I greatly enjoyed this one. My first real "idler" I think. It wasn't too hard, but I did enjoy progressing throughout. I'd greatly enjoy playing an update/DLC/sequel with more content, I want to keep going!”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“Good play, gets to a point where it stops feeling incremental, though. Ended up having to play like a degenerate and farm upgrade points to unlock everything to get to the next stage, and by then I was already 30 minutes away from beating the game.”
