Really fun! Enjoyed your style and I appreciated that you used the palette for the background images. really cool effect there. I liked swinging in the fish and getting stronger. Great call to include the CRT chance that was satisfying to land. Once I unlocked the stock market I was able to easily ride that and never had to interact with the fish again. That made unlocking new things almost an afterthought. perhaps you could lock the first area to only the first few fish? then you have to at least encounter the fish in the new area before they show up in the stock market so you still have to find them organically? It was fun to trade the fish though so its not like it needs to change to be fun; it's already fun! Good game well done!
