Ocean King Fishing Game: Cannons, Targets and Costs

What the name means

Strictly, Ocean King is a specific series from one studio. In everyday talk, it stands for any underwater shooter with a cannon, a swarm of sea creatures and a bonus boss. If a lobby lists a game by that name, check who made it on the info screen. If it lists a similar game under another name, the mechanics below will still apply. Details of what BDBAJEE lists belong to its own lobby; the fishing games hub explains what we saw.

How a round works

You choose a cannon level and fire at fish. Each shot costs a set number of credits. Hits earn rewards, and the reward depends on the target: small fish pay little, larger sea creatures pay more and take more hits. Items such as bombs, nets or lightning can hit several targets at once.

A boss creature occasionally appears and pays much more. It also soaks up shots, so chasing it is the best way to burn through a balance. The game decides each hit's outcome, so aiming helps you avoid wasted shots but does not remove chance.

The costs people overlook

Bullets are cheap one at a time and costly in a minute. A fast fire rate at a mid-level cannon can use a surprising number of credits while the screen stays busy and cheerful. Auto-fire makes this worse, because you stop noticing each shot.

Keep a note of your starting balance and look at it every few minutes. A good rule is to pause when you have used half of it.

Playing it in a calm way

Start at the lowest cannon, learn which targets are worth the shots and stop when the plan says stop. Compare titles on our best fishing games page, or look at Jackpot Fishing for a title with a prize-pool angle. If you decide this genre is not for you, the slots hub has a quieter option.
