How To Fish X Rounds

How to Fish, with the cards and round rules of ROUNDS. Fish to earn real ROUNDS cards, then fight with them when the horn sounds: against your friends, or together against the ocean.

You play in How to Fish. The cards, the block, the logo and the sound effects come from your own copy of ROUNDS.

How a match goes

1. Fish. Every 3 fish you catch gives you a card pick. Better fish, better cards.
2. Buy a gun. The 3:00 countdown starts once every player owns one. The starter shop sells a Pistol.
3. The horn sounds. Short rounds, first to 3 wins the match.
4. Lose a round, pick a card. The loser gets a comeback card, like in ROUNDS.
5. Win the match. Your cards reset, except one you choose to keep forever.

Two ways to fight

• Player vs Player. Duel each other where you stand.
• Players against fish. The whole crew fights waves of the fish you have unlocked.
• Alone. The ocean fights back either way.

The host picks the mode the first time a save is played.

The cards

• 78 ROUNDS cards, read from your ROUNDS install.
• Block. Press X or the middle mouse button. It sets off your block cards.
• Bullets. Bounces, homing, explosive, Toxic Cloud, drilling and more.
• Fishing. Cards also change bite time, reel speed, shiny chance and melee.
• Everyone's cards. See what each player has and what they are choosing.

Fish fights

• Easy start. The first rounds bring only the weakest fish that attack.
• One at a time. Fish arrive one by one and hurt less early on.
• Harder each island. Every new island makes the waves tougher.
• No free money. Fish from a wave can't be sold.

Settings

Options has a new X Rounds tab. The host can change the mode, fish difficulty, fish per card, fishing time, card limit, rounds to win and more. Settings are remembered per save.

Good to know

• Up to 8 players through How to Fish's own Steam lobbies. Host Game, then friends join through Steam.
• You need How to Fish and ROUNDS, both from Steam. Everyone playing needs the mashup and both games.
• Nothing from either game is in the download. Both are read from your own copies.
• Some ROUNDS effects are simplified to fit How to Fish, such as slows, stuns and pull fields.
