Hello staytheknight! Thank you very much for the feedback! Yes speeding up the early game should definitely be something to focus on. I have also got some complaints from my friends that the 100 power-up is not as powerful and is taking too long to level up, so some adjustments will surely be applied soon as well.
p.s. At the 200 fish powerup, the ghost (?) should be able to collect the fishes for you automatically, but you are right that the game is not yet finished and that is likely going to be changed as well.
Glad you enjoyed playing the game and thank you for playing! :)
