What a unique idea ! It needs some traps for example so that it doesn't become a bit boring, like when capturing a bomb you get reset to 0 fish, or to level 1, however good game ! Keep up the good work :)

Really like the simple mechanic of the fishing, and the selling system, it's a pretty unique idea of using the word "Scale" hahaha.

Cool game, brought back memories of playing similar fishing games on my dad's iPhone as a kid lol. Love both the cute fishes and the guy, he looks so excited in the thumbnail haha

It was a lot of fun! A clever idea for idle game, with having to catch the right amount of fish. just wondering did I get the bad ending? 

Developer

Thank you!! Im glad you liked it! but no there's only the one ending for now

Very cool progression, love how you get more depth out of the same space over time.  Delightful surprise when I could pull in multiple fish with one reel.   Satisfying sounds too!
