How to play:

  1. To start press the joystick 1
  2. Use joystick 1 to move the worm
  3. Once you caught a fish, the weight of the fish will be displayed on the 7-segment
  4. LED will light up when you caught the fish
  5. To let go the current fish or reset press the push button
  6. Rotate joystick 2 to reel in the fish
  7. When you got closer to the surface the vibration motor will vibrate, to show the fish is close
  8. When you finish it will show the weight and score
  9. Press push button to restart the game
