Ya right and the fun part is when you go deep and deep new fishes come too.

I like the game idea and love how going deeper and deeper you explore new species of fishes. Try adjusting the "Collect" button at the end. I do have few suggestions to make the experience more interesting. Although I love the display picture of the game, I haven't been able to play it yet because of the game compressed as a .rar (I don't have a winrar). That's a slight inconvenience and my feedback would be to always compress your games as .zip. I will however give a proper feedback when I play it later!

  • Add some sound effects like pulling hook, catching fish.
  • Try animating the fisherman to make it look more lively. 
  • Add some Visual Effects like bubbles to make water look more like water.

Thanks for the feedback , i love feedback because it gives me more motivation to make new games and i agreed with you in animation and Visual effect, we also have added sound but it got disabled somehow. IA next time i will do better.

That's alright, that's how we all learn. 
But I have now played your game and as expected I was actually really really enjoying it. The concept, the mechanic, the core loop - brilliant. All of it was really really good. The three choice of mechanics [increase fishing distance/number of fish caught per turn/idle earnings] were well thought out and definitely add more to the gameplay experience. It gives the player a reason to keep playing so they can find out what more fish they can catch, while also providing them the satisfaction of knowing how far they've come in the game. Like the player will get the feeling that there is an end to the game and it'll want them to finish it. I even loved the visuals. I think everything just jelled together.

But, obviously, there are definitely improvements that can be made. Firstly, do add a quit option to leave the game. That's really important. Secondly, add music. Music is crucial for video games and for improving player's gameplay experience. In this type of game, some calm ambient background music would add so much to it [if you need royalty free music check out Youtube Audio Library]. I would recommend that when the player has caught the required fish per turn and the rope is being pulled up, there is a boat on the water that the rope is pulled towards. That adds a lot to the experience. Right now, it feels weird to just see the rope pulled up and there's nothing on the water. The "button" [I forgot what it was called} that appears after you've caught the fish is too big and needs to be adjusted. It's hiding the amount earned and has an unnecessary gray shadow behind it. Also, as much as I love the three mechanics, I think the economy is all over the place. Like why is the price for the number of wish I can hook increase when I buy the "increase idle earning" option. Why is the increase idle earning option always $120. Economy is a very hard thing to get right on first try so there's no shame in it, I do recommend play testing the game and also reading up more about game economy so you have a better understanding of the conventions and how to make sure the game doesn't become too easy so that the players can exploit it and finish it, nor too hard that it turns the player away from playing the game.

I also had a few recommendations of maybe adding powerups in the water that the player can "pick-up" which adds to the game. Like for example, there could be a powerup in the water which when the player hooks it, allows the player to pick-up 5 more finishes for only this turn or for the next two turns etc.

But other than this, I thoroughly enjoyed the game [really do wish there was music in it]. Definitely refine it and I hope you guys work on it more! Great job!

Thank you very much , tbh i love your feedback and i am very happy that you show your intrest in game and in game improvement . Ya the three mechanic is awesome, when the length of fising string increase and we sees new fishes in the depth it make us more curous to play this game more and more. Yes there can be more improvements and we will definately make more improvements with time. And thanks you for your  recommendations i love them and will definately add them soon. And ya i miss the music too we miss is in hurry , will definately add it next time.

I am glad that you like the game very much.
