It's a nice chill game! The fishing mechanic is pretty fun, and the upgrade system is cool. My main suggestion would just be to make it a bit less rng-heavy, one time in round 2 I lost all three of my strikes because two trouts never spawned, I only got one each attempt. Maybe it would help if the quota was money or rarity based rather than based on getting a specific fish that might help, or if there were some direct clear way to influence which fish might get caught. But overall great job!

Yeah I 100% agree with you. I really racked my brain over ideas to make it less luck reliant, but any changes I made either didn't do enough or did too much, and it was nearly impossible to strike a balance between the two. So yeah, I am a bit disappointed with how the fishing system turned out, and if I could go back and update anything, it would probably just be adding some system that gives you more control over the fish you catch.
Thanks for playing though, and I greatly appreciate the feedback!
