I am not a huge fan personally but I believe that is more a personal preference thing. I like the Stardew-like fishing and I think the idea of dodging fish to get deeper is fun. The music is a blast as well, once again reminding me of Stardew Valley. I think adding the ability to expand the screen would be nice and maybe waiting to release the line again until input is given. I often found myself struggling to get the shop open because my line would hit a fish first. Overall I feel like you did well, congrats!
