There was a miscommunication on our part. The controls aren’t very well explained. To start the day, you need to interact with the boat’s wheel. While fishing, you should wait for the fish to approach the bait and then left-click to begin the minigame. To raise the bar, hold down the left mouse button, similar to Stardew Valley. The game still has quite a few bugs since it was made during a game jam. We’re sorry your experience wasn’t as good as it could have been.
