Here is my rough draft of what would later become the instructions for the game. Although not perfect, these should help people enjoy it.
"Kitty's Catch is a two player head to head video game where players compete to see who can catch more fish and collect the most shells before time runs out. Player 1 controls the adorable pink Kitty Pitter, while Player 2 controls his brother, Patter.
The object of the game is to catch enough fish to fill up your bucket before your brother. Once a Kitty has filled their bucket, their brother will have to hand over a shell to the victor. Whichever cat has the most shells when all of the stars have left the sky will win their mother's affection and provide dinner for their Kitty family.
Controls:
Any Direction on the D-Pad: Extend tail, change color of cat when game is paused
A or B: Lower fishing line
Start: Pause
Once you press a direction on the D-Pad, your Kitty will extend it's tail out, and then retract it. You may press A or B at any time to lower your fishing line. Once you lower your line, you can not reel it up until your hook reaches the bottom of the screen. You're bucket can fit 128 lbs of fish, keep this in mind while you're fishing!
Fish:
Clown Fish: The first fish you are introduced to in the game. They are slow and swim in a straight line. They weigh 4 lbs when caught.
Sea Robin: A purple fish who first appears on the second level, they swim slightly up and down across the pond. It weighs 8 lbs when caught.
Angel Fish: A large pretty fish, these guys can be picky and tough to catch. They weigh 12 lbs.
Electric Eel: These shocking pest will trap your fishing line until they've slowly past. It is best to stay out of their way.
Jelly Fish: These evil buggers spawn after certain fish are caught. They will follow your hook, and if caught, will take away all of your power ups! Lucky for you, only one jelly fish can be on screen at a time, but beware!
Great White Shark: This beast will greatly fill your bucket, if you can catch him that is. He can spawn and scare away all other fish if you collect a tin can when you have the music note.
Power-Ups:
When your Kitty collects a Tin can left over by a fish, it grants you special abilities. Read on to find out how to super charge your Kitty!
Treble Hook: Your first power up, this will allow you to catch tricky fish easier.
Music Box: Plays the song of the sea for your Kitty, calling only the biggest fish to your location. This doubles the weight of all fish you catch!
Slow Down: All fish will slow down for a moment, making them easier to catch:
Shark Call: The ultimate power up, calling the Great White could easily change the tide in your favor!"
