Overview

Birds Go Fishing is an Early Access casual simulation from developer dyson story, released on October 14, 2026. It blends incremental/idle mechanics with a light tower-defense twist.

You start as an employee of a massive fishing company, but your dream is to run your own operation on the cliffs. The game lets you build nests for birds, which then fish for you during the day.

At night, however, creatures called trenchers climb up from the ocean to attack your setup. It's a simple but addictive loop: gather resources, expand your bird workforce, and defend what you've built.

Highlights

  • Day/Night Cycle: Birds catch fish during the day, but at night trenchers attack. You need to prepare defenses and guardian birds to survive.
  • 8 Day Bird Nests: Unlock eight different day bird nests, each with a unique hunting method. This adds variety to how you gather fish.
  • 7 Fish Types in 4 Depths: Catch seven different fish species across four ocean depths, giving you a clear progression path.
  • Trade and Economy: Sell your fish to a trade ship before they rot, managing your gold to buy upgrades and guardian birds.
  • Raider Birds: During the day, raider birds may steal your fish and gold. You'll need guardian birds to keep them away.
  • 8 Night Bird Nests: Unlock eight night bird nests to bolster your nighttime defenses against trenchers.

Who It's For

If you enjoy idle/incremental games with a bit of strategy and resource management, Birds Go Fishing offers a charming twist. The bird theme and the day/night defense loop make it appealing to fans of casual sims like Idle Miner or Egg, Inc., but with a more active defensive component.

It's also a good pick for players who like short sessions—you can check in, collect fish, sell them, and upgrade your nests without a huge time commitment.
