A fishing trip with guns, bosses and bad physics decisions.
Dazed Games describes How to Fish as a physics-based fishing simulator for one to four players. After crashing on an island, players catch creatures, finish and sell them, buy better gear, complete quests and defeat bosses to progress toward home.
