Melon Sandbox Drops a New Fishing Event with Off-the-hook Treasure

Melon Sandbox has dropped a new Fishing event that’s less about explosions and more about dragging weird fish out of the ocean. It’s part of the game’s summer event lineup. Somehow, a ragdoll destruction sandbox now also has deep-sea fishing progression systems.

The Fishing event in Melon Sandbox turns you into a tiny fisherman

You’re heading out onto open water with an upgradeable fishing rod. You drop your hook deeper and deeper into the ocean while a depth meter tracks how far down they’ve gone. Different layers underwater contain different kinds of sealife.

Once something bites, the gameplay shifts into a quick catch phase. You drag the hook across the screen, trying to grab as many fish as possible before reeling everything back in. The fish you collect can be traded for currency.

Better equipment means better catches, naturally. You can strengthen fishing lines to increase maximum depth. You can upgrade hooks to carry more fish at once and also add sinkers for extra boosts while diving deeper into the ocean.

There’s also a bunch of extra reward systems. The Collections tab keeps track of every species you find, sorted by depth level. Completing an entire collection for a certain depth rewards bonus earnings.

Daily challenges are part of the Fishing event in Melon Sandbox. Some tasks involve spending bait, while others focus on catching specific sealife. Completing these challenges rewards extra currency. One of the important rewards is Mels, the currency used in the Melon Sandbox Marketplace for mods and cosmetics.

Do you play the game?

For a game mostly known for ragdoll physics carnage, it’s kind of funny seeing fishing added into it. Melon Sandbox has already spent years leaning into weird sandbox experimentation anyway. The game originally launched in 2022 with chaotic physics experiments using vehicles, explosives, weapons, tools, and anything else they could smash together.

The Fishing Event is live now on Android, and Melon Sandbox is free to download on the Google Play Store.
