Tips and tricks

  • Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
  • Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
  • Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
  • Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
  • Because this is a Fishing game, let the fish tire before you reel.
