Freeverse goes Flick Fishing
Freeverse has followed up Flick Bowling with the second game in the line of Flick Sports games: Flick Fishing. Truth be told, I'm more excited about this one -- the motion controls of the fishing rod and reel seem like they'd work well on the iPhone, and with "dozens of species of fish to catch," seems like this could keep me busy for a while. You can even play multiplayer over a local network, and you can apparently email big catches to friends. The game's in the App Store right now for the low low price of 99 cents -- looks like a good outing.
Freeverse is also holding a giveaway to celebrate the launch. Personally, I'd just like a copy of the game, but no -- apparently they're giving away a few Coleman Fish Pens (don't click that link if you don't want autoplay video, but it's so funny I had to link it anyway), which are pen-sized objects that expand out into working fishing poles. We have no idea, but if that's what you want, go put your email in on their page to enter.

Yeah but can you eat what you catch, or is it all catch and release? :)

Spam comment links FTL.
This game looks pretty fun though... and for $.99... why not?

I like how the company's name is Freeverse, but the software is 0.99$ lol

Those Coleman Fishing Pens look idiotic but I think that they will work out great for me and my son to take on our dirt bike rides. You have to pack smart and light on a dirt bike.

In my defense, I only put that link in because I thought it was hilarious. I did not price shop them for you, sorry.

I just bought this, and I gotta say, the details of the environments are startlingly realistic. Rolling waves, mist, and other effects, like the circling sea-gulls, the bow of the ship rocking up and down, are top-notch. It's getting 5 stars in the App Store from me, we need more games like this. Flick Fishing FTW.

Mike,
Sorry. I guess I could've worded that a little better. I was just trying to show people where to get it for a better price.
But I have to take exception to your article. Your quick little review has cost me $22! Two Fishing pens at Amazon and 99c at the App Store.
:-)

Looks cool, but flicking your iPhone? Do they know that people break things when they flick their wiimotes hard enough?

You really don't have to flick it that hard. Just a light little flick.
