Maggy The Frog and Grandma Frog are taking a relaxing fishing trip.

Granny has brought along a shopping list for today, and she hopes you'll be able to catch all of the fish on it before sundown!

Objective

Your goal is to catch all of the fish on the day's shopping list, displayed at the top left of the screen.

Accomplish this by snatching bugs out of the sky with your tongue and putting them in your bait bag.  You can then use bugs from your bait bag to lure fish.  Use different kinds of bugs to catch different kinds of fish.  The fish have bait preference and won't bite a bait they don't like!
It's up to you to figure out which bugs work on which fish!  Sometimes, Granny will provide you with helpful hints, so keep an eye out!  Her wisdom is valuable!

The day is short!  Be sure you catch all of the day's fish before the sun sets.

Have fun!

Haha but I enjoy the fishing mechanic in this game. I think it's pretty clever to have the player catch their own bait and use said bait to fish!

Thanks for playing!      I got the idea from that old Frogger 3D game where you would use your tongue to catch bugs, and they would give you stats based on their color haha.  My artist was just happy to draw a bunch of bugs and fish.

Hey there.   Found  a  non game-breaking  bug  after  you reach day 5.  The "continue" message displays twice, but it should say "press Q to return to the menu".

So keep in mind that after day 5, you can keep playing endless mode or press Q to start over after each day.

Thanks!
