Overview
Cat Goes Fishing is a 2015 Casual game developed by Cat5Games, who self-published it. On Steam it has gathered 16,066 player reviews, 94% of them positive, which counts as a very positive reception among indie titles in the Casual category. The game is available on windows, and launched at $7. As a self-published Casual project, Cat Goes Fishing sits among the independent releases indielist tracks where the developer Cat5Games retained both creative and commercial control, a path many indie studios weigh against signing with a publisher. indielist's white-box model estimates its lifetime sales at roughly 675,000 to 1.6 million units, with the full Boxleiter factor breakdown shown on this page rather than a single black-box figure. Within indielist's catalog of indie games mapped to their studios, publishers, and funding, Cat Goes Fishing can be compared against similar Casual titles and benchmarked on review counts and estimated sales.

indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for Cat Goes Fishing at roughly 675,000 to 1.6 million copies, with a median around 1.1 million, derived from its 16,066 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $4.5M in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem
indielist positions Cat Goes Fishing within the Casual segment so players can surface comparable titles by shared tags and genre rather than by storefront promotion. On the developer side, Cat5Games's other releases are one click away, letting players and analysts see where Cat Goes Fishing sits among the studio's body of work without a publisher in the loop. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same Cat Goes Fishing page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Casual game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
