Fisch had 48,727 people playing at 06:19 UTC on September 23, 2026, the small hours in the Americas, which made it the 10th-busiest of the 119 games in our catalog with live stats at that moment. It has 4.93 billion lifetime visits and a 90.7% like ratio across 3.33 million votes. Roblox's record shows it was created on March 13, 2024, by the group Fisching, and updated on September 21, 2026. Its description promises rare and unique fish "each with 400,000+ possible variations", and its instructions are short: hold to cast, "shake" the rod to attract fish faster, then follow the blue line until the progress bar fills.
The badge list says what comes after that. It holds 62 badges. The most-awarded is First Time Fischer, for joining, with 119,933,454 awards, followed by Economy Expert, for selling a first fish (61,656,449). Third is not a catch at all: Experienced True Beauty, for being in a server when an Aurora Borealis starts, has 33,677,509 awards, more than Rare Hunter, for catching a legendary fish (28,646,790). Then come the catch counter, the rarity badges and 38 bestiary badges for catching every fish in a given place. Those three threads are the map this guide follows. Badge counts are awards, not a head count of players.
The same water, other boats
Start with the games that fish. Fish It! says so in its own description: "Inspired by Fisch and Fishing Simulator." It was created on October 21, 2024, seven months after Fisch, and at 06:19 UTC it had 77,238 players, more than Fisch itself and sixth in our catalog. Its fishing is two instructions: "Click to charge up", then "Click as fast as you can". It claims more than 1,000,000 fish variations, and its current update headline is a limited-time island with a gacha. It also has the lowest like ratio of any game in this guide, 82.9% across 1.62 million votes.
Fishing Simulator is the older game Fish It! names. Created on February 17, 2019, it calls itself "The ORIGINAL Roblox fishing adventure": fish with friends across more than ten islands, sail to new areas, and hunt massive sharks and sea monsters. You keep clicking to hold the line in a green zone, where Fisch has you follow a blue line. It is quiet now, with 250 players at 06:19 UTC, but it has 496 million visits and a 92.1% like ratio.
Heavyweight Fishing is the newest, created on August 4, 2025. Its description is about size: massive fishes, "even more massive bosses", and mysterious islands, in a game it says was inspired by one called Chu Xin Diao. It had 8,701 players at the same moment and the highest like ratio in this guide, 96.1% across 79,000 votes. Its servers hold 10 players, half of Fisch's 20.
The count
Fisch counts catches with nine badges, from 50 to 10,000, all created within a day of each other in August 2024. Fish It! counts them too, with eight badges from 50 to 500,000 created on the same day, December 28, 2024. Three rungs appear in both games, so the two ladders can be read side by side.
| Catches | Fisch awards | Share of its 50-catch awards | Fish It! awards | Share of its 50-catch awards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 27,937,992 | 100% | 29,153,632 | 100% |
| 1,000 | 11,266,817 | 40.3% | 11,916,270 | 40.9% |
| 10,000 | 3,961,060 | 14.2% | 6,693,478 | 23.0% |
Up to 1,000 catches, the two games keep almost exactly the same share. The gap opens after that: of every 100 awards at 50 catches, Fisch has 14 at 10,000 and Fish It! has 23. Fish It!'s ladder then keeps going, and its 500,000-catch badge has 1,024,356 awards. A catch is not the same amount of work in the two games, one a line you follow and the other a button you tap as fast as you can, so this compares how far players count, not how hard it is to get there. The two ladders are also different ages, which is why the table compares shares within each game rather than raw totals across them.
If the counter is what kept you casting, Bee Swarm Simulator is the long version of it on land. Its description has you grow a swarm, collect pollen and make honey, and "as your hive grows larger and larger, you can explore further up the mountain". It had 21,021 players at 06:19 UTC and a 95.6% like ratio, the second-highest here.
The roll
Rare Hunter has 28,646,790 awards, and Special Someone, for catching a Shiny fish, has 21,962,171. Behind both is the variation count in Fisch's description: every catch is a draw. Sol's RNG is that draw with the fishing taken out. You click Roll to discover "400+ unique auras of varying rarity", craft gear from what you collect and drink potions to raise your luck. It had 39,758 players at 06:19 UTC, 11th in our catalog, one place behind Fisch, with a 91.4% like ratio.
Grow a Garden moves the draw into a farm: buy seeds when the shop restocks, plant, wait and harvest, then "Flex fruits and finds on friends". Its description adds that "your garden literally grows while you are offline", which suits a player who liked leaving a line in the water. It had 18,152 players and an 89.9% like ratio. Pet Simulator 99 is the collection at its largest: "Currently 3,000+ pets to collect". At 57,593 players it was the busiest non-fishing pick here, with a 94.7% like ratio.
The map
Fisch's bestiary badges are awarded for catching every fish in one place. Moosewood's has 3,591,855 awards, and Bestiary: Everything, created in September 2024 for catching every fish, has 1,491,914. The newest ones are still filling: the Astral Observatory badge, created on August 22, 2026, has 32,125, and the Obsidian Trench badge, created on September 19, already has 106,089 four days later.
If the pull was sailing to the next place and learning what lives there, Arcane Odyssey is the open sea as an RPG. It sends you "through the War Seas", where you can fight other players or team up with them, capture islands and build castles, and you can master magic or drop it for fighting styles and weapons. It is small, with 285 players at 06:19 UTC and a 92.4% like ratio, and its description asks for a keyboard and mouse and recommends 6 GB of RAM or more, so check that before you set sail.
Picking one
Match the game to the thread you would miss. For more fishing, Fish It! is the busy one and Fishing Simulator the calm original; Heavyweight Fishing is the pick if the boss fish were the best part. For the catch counter, Bee Swarm Simulator. For the roll, Sol's RNG, or Grow a Garden if you want it to keep going while you are away. For the map, Arcane Odyssey, provided your computer can run it. Every player count in this guide comes from one pull at 06:19 UTC on September 23, 2026, and every badge count from Roblox's badges API on the same morning. Counts at a busier hour run higher: at our previous refresh, 17:40 UTC on Sunday, September 20, Fisch had 114,478 players.
