This little fishing game just reeled in a big win on Steam. Cornerpond is April’s top desktop buddy

by

Despite the buzz surrounding Oblivion Remastered and Expedition 33, an under-the-radar indie game called Cornerpond has quietly achieved a significant milestone. Launched merely a week ago, it swiftly ascended Steam’s list of popular releases and continues to attract new players daily.

Catch the chill with Cornerpond

Despite a potential decline in the popularity of desktop buddies, at least one new idle game continues to garner attention on Steam each month. For April, the spotlight is on Cornerpond, an exceptionally serene fishing experience that promises tranquility as you work or study. After all, who wouldn’t find solace in casting a line while tending to daily tasks?

The game titled Cornerpond was single-handedly developed by the skilled game creator known as foolsroom. This developer has a rich history in game development, having previously worked on games such as FLERP, Whackerball, Mouselash, and Facehand – all roguelikes or deckbuilding games. However, it’s Cornerpond that stands out as their most successful project, reaching over 2,000 concurrent players on Steam.

This is a relaxing fishing simulator designed for peaceful leisure time on your computer screen. Occasionally, a large catch requires your immediate focus, introducing an engaging element of interaction to the gameplay.

In our game, we boast five distinct ecosystems teeming with 100 stunningly beautiful fish species. By harvesting and marketing these catches, you can earn money, enhance your equipment, and personalize your character – a pixel-art masterpiece, I might add. The game retails for an affordable $2.99, but if you’d like to test it out first, there’s a demo version available.
