Hey, I appreciate all the feedback and that you played all the way through the game!
Honestly, you're on the money with the content suggestions. This game needs more fish and locations. I like the rod difficulty idea too, that would actually help with some balancing issues I ran into during testing.
And the NPCs are just kinda there in the game's current state as well... you can spam click on them for some dialogue but that's it. I had extra unused assets and wanted to incorporate them.
But the fact that you could actually get through the game means this was already an improvement over the jam version lol.
