Finding Gilbert is a relaxing fishing adventure set on a charming tiny island. With only 10 attempts, your mission is to reel in the elusive fish, Gilbert, among a sea of colorful tiny creatures. Enjoy the peaceful island view while testing your skill and patience—can you spot and catch Gilbert before you run out of chances?

How to play?

These are some pictures of how the game looks like :

If you are craving fish or just in the mood for some fun, meet Gilbert, a clownfish who’s not just here for laughs! He’s tricky, fast, and loves messing with your nerves. Some fish might look like him, but they’re not the real deal. Gilbert stands out—you can spot him from miles away, but that he won't make it easy for you.

Think you’ve got what it takes to catch him? Or will Gilbert have the last laugh?

Test your fishing skills in Finding Gilbert and see who’s the real clown – you or him!

Really funny, by the time I finally caught him I was totally ready to eat that damn fish. Congrats!

Cute game and it works well. I wish Gilbert had a little bit more tricks because right now you can win with one precise shot.

Well done!

The wave effects were nice, and amazing how much work you must have put in for the individual graphics/dialog. Didn't end up finding Gilbert though :(.

The first time I caught a fish, it got stuck on the hook, and I decided that I had to catch one fish with another. It's a funny bug. Oh no, fish are caught with bugs!
