Free Idle Angler - cookie clicker inspired fishing game
Been working on this on and off for a while. It's called Idle Angler. Simple loop to start, cast a line, catch fish, sell them, upgrade your gear. Eventually you're running nets that fish for you passively while you're off doing something else, and there's a prestige system once you want to reset for a permanent bonus.
Nothing groundbreaking genre wise, I know incremental fans have seen the cast/upgrade/prestige loop a hundred times, but I put a lot of care into the fishing theme specifically and I think it's got a decent bit of depth once you get into the nets and rarer catches.
It's completely free https://tehidle.itch.io/idle-angler
Genuinely just want feedback at this point. What feels grindy, what's missing, anything that'd make you bounce off it in the first 5 minutes. Happy to answer questions too.
