Fishing Game Rules: How Fish Shooting Games Work

In a fishing game, you fire a cannon at fish swimming across the screen: every shot costs credits at the cannon level you set, and each fish you catch pays a multiple of that shot's value. Bigger or rarer fish carry bigger multiples but are harder to catch. Each game has its own paytable and features, so this guide sticks to what most fish shooting games share: rooms, cannon levels, fish multipliers, special fish and the common controls.

How a fish shooting game works

Pick a room. Rooms set the range of cannon levels you can use.
Set your cannon level. The level decides how much each shot costs.
Aim and fire. Each shot is charged when it is fired, whether it catches a fish or not.
Catch a fish and get paid. A caught fish pays its multiple times the value of the shot that caught it.

Hitting a fish is not the same as catching it. Whether a hit turns into a catch is decided by the game itself, and large fish usually take more hits before they are caught.

Rooms and cannon levels

Rooms are the first choice you make. A lower room keeps the cost per shot small; a higher room allows bigger cannon levels. Inside a room you can usually raise or lower the cannon level between shots.

The cannon level works in both directions: a higher level costs more per shot and pays more per catch, because the payout is the fish's multiple times the shot value. In many fishing games several players share one table and shoot at the same fish, so a fish you have been hitting can be caught by someone else.

Fish multipliers and special fish

Every fish has a multiple shown in the game's paytable. Most games group their fish roughly like this:

Small fish: appear often, are easy to catch and carry small multiples.
Large fish: appear less often, take more hits and carry bigger multiples.
Boss fish: rare, large targets with the biggest multiples in the game.
Special fish: trigger an effect when caught, such as a bomb that clears part of the screen or a chain that links several fish.

The exact multiple of each fish, and what each special fish does, differ from game to game. Open the paytable inside the game to see them.

Common features: auto-fire and lock-on

Auto-fire: the cannon keeps firing without you tapping each shot. Every shot is still charged.
Lock-on: the cannon follows one fish you choose, so your shots stay on that target.
Cannon change: switch level or cannon type between shots.

Not every game has every feature, and the names differ. The help screen inside each game lists the ones it offers.

What to check before you play

The paytable: which fish pay which multiples, and what the special fish do.
Cost per shot: how much one shot costs at the cannon level you plan to use.
The room range: the lowest and highest cannon levels in that room.
Auto-fire settings: how to start and stop it, so shots are not fired when you do not mean to.

How does the cannon level work? The cannon level sets the cost of each shot. A higher level costs more per shot and pays more per catch, because the payout is the fish's multiple times the shot value. Rooms set the range of cannon levels you can use, and inside a room you can usually raise or lower the level between shots.

Why do some fish pay more than others? Bigger and rarer fish carry bigger multiples because they are harder to catch. The paytable inside each game shows the multiple for every fish. Most games group fish roughly into small fish, large fish, boss fish and special fish, and special fish trigger an effect when caught, such as a bomb or a chain.
