It's unclear to me how to successfully fish. I have no problem getting bait, my issue is that there's no hint/instructions on how to actually catch the fish. Only a meter counter, which is understandable, and a vertical bar that fills up quickly and I don't understand what it's suppose to represent. Clicking quickly or slowly, or even holding down, on the mouse button didn't affect this bar and I lose the fish every way I try. Some instructions and/or tutorial would be greatly appreciated as well as necessary, I believe, as there are also timed requests that require participating in this mini-game.

Congratulations on your successful Kickstarter, by the way.

It could be more intuitive, but I catch them (right or wrong) by holding LMB, and moving my mouse in the direction the arrow flashes.  Kinda like taking tension off the line.  Caught 4 catfish that way.  2 were for Mars. ^^  Good luck!

I found if you move your mouse slowly with the arrows while holding the left mouse button down works best. If you move your mouse too quickly is when you lose your fish.

I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the advice, both of you. Sorry for the super late response, no notifications and I don't check this site very often. =_=;
