When you first launch the game, the screen should look
similar and you should be hearing a gripping and repetitive
tune. Just select one of the slots for tournament play
or arcade mode with no saving option.
The game will also create a "save" folder, which stores
profiles and the scoreboard.

| 2. Arcade mode |
|________________|
Arcade mode allows you to catch fish at random places in the game. This mode doesn't load any user
settings and will not save them. You lose the game once you've lost a fish. If you catched enough
fish, game asks to enter your name. Once you do that, the scoreboard will appear. To exit arcade mode,
close the game and relaunch it.

fish fights. Super Hard can be unlocked and that difficulty has 20% less luck and 1 new control in addition
to all hard controls.

Once the place has loaded, you'll end up with a nice scene. Just wait until a fish bites. If a fish
doesn't bite, that means you have low luck (low luck may even give you the useless boot which gives
you a penalty).
