Ice Fishing

Location

In the Ski Lodge through the green door.

Object of the Game

To catch as many fish as you can.

Instructions

Move your mouse up and down to raise and lower your hook. When you see a fish, lower your hook to the fish to catch it. Raise you hook to above the ice, and left-click to release the fish.

You must have a worm on your hook to catch a fish. To get a worm, raise your hook above the water level and click.

Barrels and boots can kick fish off of your fishing line. Jellyfish, sharks and crabs will cost you a worm if you let them get at your line.

A can of worms will give you an extra life.

For every fish you catch, you receive one coin at the end of the game. If you catch the big fish(A.K.A. The Mullet), you get an extra 50 coins!(Hint: You need a different kind of bait to catch this fish. It always comes near the end, when you have about 40 fish.)When you get practiced at this game, you can earn about 150 coins.

The Basics

Fish Counter

On the left side of the fishing hole is your fishing counter. Made to look like a fish holder (or cooler), you can find the amount of fish you have caught on the left side of the fishing hole.

Worm Counter

At the top left of the screen, you can find the amount of worms you have.

The Good and the Bad

The Good

Fish

For each one of these fish you catch, you get one coin.

Gray Fish

For each one of these fish you catch, you get ten coins. Although, they are very difficult to catch. Unlike the regular fish, gray fish don't travel in a straight line. They move around, avoiding the bait, making them very difficult to get. In order to have access to these gray fish, you must have the flashing lure fishing rod that is only available to members.

Can of Worms

Put your worm over one of these cans to get yourself another worm. Usually, one of these show up a little bit after you lose a worm.

Mullet

Mullet is the largest fish, and only shows up at the very end of the game. If you catch him, you get 50 coins! (Hint: you need special bait) You can see Mullet arive from far away. Here are pictures of him in his different stages.

Far Away

A Little Bit Closer

He's Almost Here!

He's Here!

The Bad

Barrels

If you have a fish on your line, and bump into a barrel, your fish will run away.

Shoes

If you have a fish on your line, and bump into a shoe, your fish will run away.

Jellyfish

If a jellyfish is coming near, and your line is down, your line will be shocked. When your line is shocked, you lose your worm and have to click above the ice to get a new one.

Sharks

If a shark is coming, and your line is somewhere close, it will attempt to bite.

It may get your line, it may not; It depends how close your line is. If the shark bites your line, you lose your worm and have to click above the ice to get a new one. You can tell when a shark is coming when the top part of him comes across the bottom of the screen.

Crabs

If a crab is coming, and your line is down, the crab will attempt to pinch your line.

It may get the line, it may not; Depends on if you can get the line up in time. If the crab gets your line, you will have to click above the ice to get a new worm.

Also, anytime you lose a worm, you are advised to get a new worm.

Puffle Messages

Throughout the game, puffles come across the screen with a banner warning you about dangers to come.
