The goal of this game is simple: rack up as many points as you can by eating the nutritious fish while avoiding the large, toothy beasts that will send your points value plummeting to the ocean floor.
How to Play
To access the game, select Fish Game on the Main Menu of the Performance Monitor. The game begins when you take a stroke on the rowing machine.
On the PM3 screen, you're the fish facing the onslaught of good and not-so-good fish. Move your fish up and down the left side of the screen by altering the intensity of your row. When a good fish is headed your way, align your fish with the oncoming fish and gobble it up for a points value (small fish are worth 30 points; striped fish are worth 60 points). Avoid those toothy, be-finned predators, because each time they gobble you up, they take 45 points off your points value (once you're at zero points, you won't go any lower).
Each game runs for 4 minutes, with a play again option at the end (it's a great way to get in some extra meters!). Your fish game workout information (time, distance, pace per 500 meters, and so on) will be logged to your LogCard (or PM3 Memory if rowing without a LogCard) just like a regular workout would be.
