and shake They can make waves with movement

the fishing wheel to pull the fish forward Fish can go through all
the devices on its path to get to the fisherman, giving each person
a chance to release it There maybe obstacles in the path

have to catch as many fish as possible, the more devices the fish
has gone through the more points they collect Nymphs have to rescue
as many fish as possible
