Nice snappy handheld gameplay! Obviously this game draws inspiration from WarioWare, but once I figured out that the motions in the clean up phase depended on what you caught in the fishing phase it actually reminded me of the tagging minigame in Jet Set Radio. The cool thing about that minigame that could be applied here is that you could actually input before the icons showed up to complete it even faster, good way to reward players who are paying attention.

Exactly! That is mostly why the cleaning phase does not have a time limit, so that those who remember the motions can blaze past it. I did add an input cooldown at first but it just felt awful and like it ate actions lol.
I had actually forgotten about JSR's spray minigame, man I need to play that game again! XD
