In the opening moments of ridiculous fishing, Vlambeer's Android re-imagining (Google Play, $2.99) of their Flash game, you're introduced to Billy. He looks humble, if a bit retro in his pixilation. "This is Billy," the game says. "He fishes like a champ." And so will you in this truly outrageous, wonderfully addictive game.

The game starts innocently enough. You toss your fish hook over the side of a small, retro-pixelated boat. As it descends, you avoid the passing fish because as soon as you snag one, your hook starts to ascend. On the way up, the game changes: now you have to hook as many fish as you can before you hit the water's surface. The deeper you go, the trickier it gets, until you hook the rare boss-type fish at the bottom of each area.
Then it gets ridiculous.
