Play a fun "Catch and Match" fish game: Fishing Tactics is one of the most innovative "simple" game ideas we have added to Learn4Good to date. Combining the drawing of outlines, matching, and fast mouse-clicking ability, this is a challenging skill game where you have to ‘catch’ fish of the same color by quickly ‘drawing’ an irregular-shaped net around them using your computer mouse. Each level is filled with different exotic fish, and you have to match these little guys by catching pairs or small groups of them, gradually reducing the number of fish in the water to the minimum amount. The catch (no pun intended) is that the cheeky cartoon swimmers often nip out of your shape just before you can catch them, and also that you cannot pair or group different fish within the same net.

This original and highly addicting matching game is a real test of your observation skills, mouse skills, and time management. You are up against the clock in each level, so you need to catch those fish as fast as possible. While you must play under the intense pressure of a ticking timer, you still need to exhibit a cool, calculated head and steady hand. You must also use the cunning strategy of waiting for the perfect moment to nab pairs or small groups of same-colored fishies. Simply drawing aimless shapes in the hope of catching some fish won’t get the job done; you need to be coldly calculating. Just like a real-life fisherman out at sea or riverside, you must patiently wait for your time to strike! Ok Net Drawing Dynamo, we can’t wait to see your master class! Happy fish matching!

How to Play: In each of the 7 increasingly challenging levels, your goal is to reduce the number of fish to the minimum possible amount before the clock runs out. To do this, you have to systematically ‘catch’ and group fish of the same color. Using your computer mouse or touchpad, Left Click and draw a complete irregular shape that envelops two or more of the same-colored fish. As you click and drag your mouse, a white line appears – this is the outer edge of your net. If the shape that you draw has two or more of just the same colored fish caught within the outer boundary, these fish are joined together (combined) to form a larger fish. To complete the level, keep combining fish until there is only one of each color remaining.

If you accidentally catch fish of more than one color within the shape, nothing happens. You earn points bonuses for catching 3 or more fish at the same time (this also helps you to complete the level more quickly). Keep an eye on the timer at the bottom of the game screen. If you fail to catch and combine all fish by the time the timer runs out, you have to start the level again. The further you progress through the game, the more different-colored fish that appear in each level. Good luck!
