This game starts out extremely tough. If you stick with it for a bit and find some strategies, it gets a little easier, and becomes just tough. The tone is perfect, the soundtrack is multiple bangers that I can't get out of my head, and I'm having such a good time that I want to try to 100% it. If you like bullet hell/survivor games, this is a winner

Not much to say here, the game is fun. It's not too pricey, some of the worst bugs were fixed recently, and it's an experience. I won't lie, while I would have liked the game to have a bit more in-game stuff to play with, as well as more QoL things/changes that make sense to me, it's ultimately up to the developer. The game in its current state is very nice, even if I feel it's criminally underrated: simple art style has its charm, there are a lot of fun jokes and while some species of fish are basically "same fish, but yellow", it doesn't make the game less enticing. Controls take some time to get used to, and it gets better with certain upgrades. You can pretty easily earn 60-70% of achievements (not a 6-7 joke, I mean "the majority of achievements" here) by just playing the game and completing stages on various ships, at least once. Some of the rarer achievements are either easily done and no one bothered to do it too (most of the new ships, like Dragon) or they're borderline impossible/require a very specific build and lots of luck (looking at you, Golden Ghost Ship).

As much as I love fishing, this one just didn't do it. The controls are frustrating, the "weapons" don't scale fast enough as the days go by, and basically the first 10 runs you make a minimal dent in your debt. Quite a disappointment.

It's sort of the Hades of fishing games

I enjoy silly fishing games, I love the conceit behind this, but I found it just too awkward to control. It just wasn't much fun.
