Open How to Fish’s controls menu to see the full keybind list and the current input assigned to every action.
How to Fish is a physics-based fishing game by Dazed Games that released on Steam on August 20, 2026, and it plays as much like a shooter as a fishing sim. Open the controls screen from the main menu or pause menu to see the active movement, weapon, fishing, and boat inputs.
Getting the accurate control layout
The controls screen is the full keybind chart for How to Fish. It displays the active keyboard, mouse, and controller inputs together, along with any available rebinding options. Read the assignments directly from this menu to match the current version of the game.
If you already own the game, open the controls or settings screen from the main menu or pause menu. Every listed action appears beside its assigned input, while hidden binds and context actions appear as on-screen prompts during play.
The game these controls belong to
How to Fish supports 1-4 player online co-op, and the loop mixes casting for fish with gunfire: you start with no gear, earn money to buy better weapons and equipment, and put those guns to work killing sea creatures. Progression runs across five islands — the fifth a volcano — as you complete quests and take down bosses, with a post-game phase afterward that opens all five islands freely.
Key The shooter side expands the control list beyond casting a line. Firing and weapon handling, boat movement and upgrades, collecting rare fish variants, and the multiplayer actions that keep a four-player crew coordinated all use their own bindings, giving the settings screen a fuller action set than a plain fishing game.
