Net Rush

Net Rush is a free fishing tycoon game you can play right in your browser. A sandy beach on a wide river, a few wooden crates and a little fish stall. Run into the water and the net unrolls behind you; go round a school of fish and step back onto the sand, and every fish inside the loop is yours. When the net runs out, it drags you back to the bank, so plan your loop well.

Carry the catch from the crates to the counter, where villagers queue up for fresh fish and pay in coins that pile up on the sand. Spend them on a grill, a smokehouse and a big pot of fish soup — each sells for more than the last — and hire sellers, porters and an old fisherman with his own net, so the market keeps trading while you are out in the river. Watch for pike and the rare golden carp: they pay a bonus the moment you land them.

In the workshop, make the net longer to circle bigger schools, stronger to hold more fish in one haul, buy rubber boots to wade faster and a bigger basket to carry more. Your market is saved, on PC, phone and tablet with no download.
