Fishing in the net this is currently one of my favorite games. It’s a fishing game, so you’ll catch plenty of fish – but there are plenty of other activities for you and your friends to enjoy. As you explore the island, you can dress up cute animal characters, play with virtual money for scratch cards, and decorate parts of the world with chalk. It also includes a guitar that you can play. Since its launch in October, musically talented players have been using the in-game guitar to host virtual concerts and perform covers of popular songs by bands such as Green Day, Radiohead and Blink-182.
The item is surprisingly refined and mimics the actual instrument. You can pluck individual strings, save preset chord settings and strum chords. I’m not a musician, so I used it to play random notes in the background while my friends tried to focus on fishing. However, some players are so good at playing guitar in the game that they perform acoustic covers of real songs Fishing in the net and sharing clips online. Here’s a video of a person – er, I mean dog – playing “No Surprises” by Radiohead.
This person went all out and recorded four different parts to recreate “I Miss You” by Blink-182.
All in all, it’s nippy to see people so committed to using just one item in the game. The creator, Lamedeveloper, went to great lengths to make just one element so elaborate. (I’d be elated if I could run around and make random sounds!) The guitar became so popular that one person created software that uses MIDI audio files for the instrument to make it easier to recreate the sound without having to play it directly in-game using a somewhat clunky UI.
So if you’re musically inclined – or just like to party with friends – you might want to check it out Fishing in the net on a Windows computer.
