Game Strategies & Tips
How to Maximize Your FS Points
Proven Strategies:
- Target Rare Fish: Always prioritize rare fish when they appear - they give 50 FS points!
- Build Combos: Catch fish quickly in succession to build momentum
- Focus on Large Fish: Large fish give 20 FS points and are easier to catch than small fast fish
- Watch for Golden Glow: Rare fish have a distinctive golden glow - don't miss them!
- Maintain Consistency: Steady catching is better than rushing and missing
Understanding Fish Behavior
Each fish type has unique characteristics:
- Small Fish: Fast and numerous, perfect for quick points but harder to click
- Medium Fish: Balanced speed and size, good for steady point accumulation
- Large Fish: Slow-moving and large, easiest to target for consistent high-value catches
- Rare Fish: Appears every 15 seconds, moves slowly, has golden glow - highest value catch
Tip: Fish bounce off walls, so they'll stay in the play area. Watch their patterns to predict movement!
Advanced Techniques
Master These Techniques:
- Anticipation: Click slightly ahead of fast-moving fish to account for reaction time
- Pattern Recognition: Fish follow predictable movement patterns - learn them!
- Multi-Targeting: When multiple fish are close, target the highest value one first
- Timing: Wait for rare fish spawns (every 15 seconds) and be ready
- Efficiency: Don't waste time chasing small fish when large fish are available
