-This minigame is going to be a one and done deal in Wonderland In Ruin, but I actually do plan on making a small game of Fishing In Ruin with some more mechanics, fish, maps, etc.

-You're right that it's a bit easy but it's also not meant to test you that hard given that it comes about when bonus stages are unlocked after beating world 3 and is over in 5 minutes.

-The marker for where you can use would be a bit of a pain to make in a way that works in the context of FiR, but I get where you're coming from.

-As for release, I've received this complaint before. It takes a little bit but you can reel normally to break the line on purpose. Otherwise I'm not sure what to do, as I'm looking at FiR being available on mobile, and I already have a lot of buttons for a mobile fishing game with touch buttons... I'm not sure if I can justify adding another button and you can actually use all 3 buttons at once, so it's tough to say what to do. Sometimes controls are a real struggle, huh?

-As for being able to move the camera, I didn't think about that. I'll think about it, as being able to control the camera there does cause problems with the cast meter that I'd probably need to do some shenanigans to resolve that I'm not sure I can afford the time to do, but at the same time I do agree with you so I have mixed feelings.

Thanks for playing my demo, Donny!

Also it should be stated that all fish punish the player for reeling during high stamina. 50% stamina = 50% line damage taken. Also, if a fish is using an active skill (Angerjack's Gigant Charge), using Pull will deal a massive amount of damage to line HP (20% in Angerjack's case.) You can tell when he's still doing it by the glowing aura and the angry mugshot. It's really hard to convey how mechanics works sometimes and between Fishing Tips and the Fishing Manual, I don't know if I succeeded.
