''Generic Fishing Game'' is a fishing game by Ferociter where you catch 4 different kinds of fish: bass, carp, catfish and rainbow trout. When fishing, press Spacebar when the top of the white rectangle is in the green zone, in order for you to drop the bait. When a fish comes, you have to press Spacebar when the black square is in the green rectangle. Missing it, or pressing Space outside of it, will make the fish get further away and eventually be free from your line. However, there's a lot more to this game than just this...

The game can be played on [[https://armorgames.com/generic-fishing-game-game/19317?fp=ng Armor Games]].
