This is an old project I haven't worked on in a while, but have just started to share. It's basically an arcade style game played in quick rounds where you try to beat your high score.
With a game controller, you move your hook left to right on the screen to position ready to drop straight now. After hitting the button, only your positioning and timing can help you hit your target, so it's all about leading the hook and anticipating what will get in the way.
When you snag a fish, you have to wind it up. This is done using the right thumb stick of the controller to literally wind in a circle to bring it up.
