What I liked about this Game:

Areas for Improvement:

It is unclear to the player how well they are doing at reeling in fish.
~~A progress bar or some other indicator to make clear the direct cause-and-effect of keeping the cursor in the circle while reeling would provide valuable feedback to the player.~~
I did not notice the progress bar on the right side. It should be made more noticeable. Making it bigger would be a big help. Some color would also help as it currently blends into the background.

thanks for your comments. There IS a progress bar, to the right of the reel, that goes up and down based upon how well you’re doing

Oh, I see that now.
