The character walking so fast is kind of weird. But in such a big city it's still convenient. Maybe you should have made the area smaller because a lot of it isn't very useful. I managed to gather $1000 (mostly by fishing because I didn't find anything else in the city that could earn me money) but I didn't find where to go at the end. Maybe there should be a message telling you where to go.
Apart from that the music and the visuals in the city look pretty good and I like the fact that we have a minimap indicating points of interest. The game has a lot of potential. Well done!
