Screenshots:

Controls:
Left and Right keys for aiming with the cursor. Press Space Bar for entering power meter mode.
Press Space Bar again to shoot hook. If a fish is on the hook landing area, it is caught.
There are cool features like maximum catchable fish "per session", or linking fish to a database item (and get such item if you manage to catch said fish), or enabling/disabling fish appearance through a game switch etc...

Notes:
I think there's an error if you try to play the minigame when no fish is available (not activated by the game switch). That makes sense, so I didn't go and fix it.

this looks neat and very pleasing to my eyes. I have a love of fishing games, and I feel this is going to be one of the ones I'll really like, even if it is a minigame.

Hello once again Omega

Don't know if you remember me, but I've been one of your clients (The ocarina request?)

Anyways, after I tested this out I had some ideas of making it even better. It's not really a request, but it'll be a nice improvement for us if you like the idea and could make it.

Basically I found this system too easy because the fishes and arrow moved slowly and fishes moved at the very bottom and top of the screen (Making captures very easy). What about this?

You keep the general concept the same, but there are no fishes at the bottom. All appear beyond the halfway point (Therefore the upper half of the screen). The arrow system remains, but when you "hit" a fish, it begins a new capture session, where you have to wheel in the fish towards you. You do this by tapping whatever button appears on the screen. For example, [Z] will appear on the screen, meaning you have to tap that key button to pull the fish in. For medium-level fishes, the keys will change from [Z] to [X]. If you mis-press a key too much times (maybe just twice), you'll lose the fish. The higher level will utilise all the usual keys, including the directional keys perhaps.

Some other changes:
-The fishes move faster depending on the type.
-As the fishes get nearer to you, the required button changes more often.*
-There is a timer for the Capture Session.
-And don't make the [Shift] key a button to use.

What do you think about this??

No no no no. Do NOT necropost just to hijack a thread. This is your verbal warning.

No one listens to Kread it seems. Oh well.

@Twilight27: Hey Twilight, Thanks for the ideas! And, what did I help you with the other time? I remember your username...
@Hollows: Why not an item synthesize script? Combine items to make another. Just because the script's name doesn't match your needs doesn't mean you can adapt it to your game.
