Idle Waters is a relaxing idle game perfect for those days when you want to play something, but have work to do. Play as a cute red panda fisherman on a quest to simply fish! The game sits at the bottom of your screen and plays while you do something else. You little red panda will cast his line and collect a variety of cool fish species on his own. Or you can click around and help out with the fishing if you want. 

There are 12 unique, and beautiful, biomes to enjoy, and 100 different fish to catch across them. There are even special color variants to discover. Put your favorite fish in aquariums to keep for your viewing pleasure. They’ll even produce useful items for you. Plus, you can fulfill requests to discover new areas, items, and more. Upgrades for your backpack, fishing speed, and more are available to improve your fishing experience, too. And there’s no rush, of course. Do everything at your leisure and enjoy your time fishing! 

A Lovely Idle Game

Idle games generally lack with their mindless clicking and battling. However, this new wave of cozy idle games has been a breath of fresh air. And of those, Idle Waters is one of the better ones that I’ve played. Its gorgeous pixel art makes the game visually appealing, but the actual fishing, quests, and upgrades really hold my attention. 

This game has fast become a favorite of the cozy idle games I’ve played because each biome is unique. From the design of it to the types of fish you can collect and treasures you discover, each area is a delight to explore. The few NPCs you encounter are also unique. There’s enough fish varieties (100! Plus the color variants!) to keep you hooked and trying to catch all of them. Plus, the little extras like upgrades, but especially the fun aquariums you can fill with your favorite fish and display on your desktop just adds even more charm to the whole operation. 

If you’re looking for a cozy, charming idle game to play, Idle Waters is it. Even better is that you can resize the game. By default, it sits across the bottom of your screen. However, you can resize it so it takes up less space overall. Zoom in or out for a better viewing experience, and you can even hide it completely from view. So, if you’re easily distracted, let your little red panda fisherman do all the fishing while hidden from view!

Final Thoughts
