or sell. The Aquarium features numerous camera angles, so you can always keep an
eye out on what your fish are doing. You initially start off with a basic tank that can
only accommodate the smallest of fish. They can be upgraded easily however, and
you can purchase decoration such as seaweed and corral to help your fish feel more at
home. Aquariums can be seen by other Fishing Champ players, and the game keeps
track of things like ‘Most Valuable’ and ‘Most Recommended’, so you can easily see
how your aquarium compares to others.

Maintenance
-Feed your fish, change their water, and upgrade your aquarium here.

 Tip

your net. If your HP reaches 0, the fish will get away.

Holding the [S] key will pull your line in. This will cause more damage to the fish,
but make it more difficult to keep the fish where you want it. There is a chance
your line will snap if you pull on your line for too long.

Normal position
Holding the [S] key and releasing it will return the line to it’s normal position.

Releasing line
If you hold the [W] key, you will release some extra line. Do this when you would
like the fish bubble to rotate faster.

Around the fish bubble, you will see a larger circle converging around it. When the
larger circle and fish bubble meet, hit the [Space Bar]. If you time it correctly, you
will see your Combo Gauge fill..

Unleashing your Combo

Once your Combo Gauge has filled to a certain point, press [1] to unleash your
combo for bonus damage. There are 3 levels of the Combo Gauge, the damage
your combo causes is dependant on how much of the bar was filled when you
unleashed your Combo.
