I always enjoy a fishing game. Having the collection to complete is a nice touch, and I enjoyed seeing what the next catch would be.
My feedback is:
(1) It took me a couple of tries to figure out what controlling the reel meant. Because the meter for it is below the "game world" part of the screen, I didn't notice it. I had been thinking that part of the screen was a static control layout image.
(2) It's not clear if moving the pole with the dpad affects the catch or not.
(3) I think with the font, you end up with more than four colors on screen. Would just need a pixel perfect font with no filtering to fix that.
