🎯 THE GOAL

Survive as long as you can. Serve customers, catch fish, and build your market. Reach Day 30 to win. Lose all 5 hearts and it's Game Over.

❤️ YOUR HEARTS

LOSE HEARTS WHEN...

GAIN HEARTS WHEN...

🎣 FISHING

Cast your line and wait for a bite. Hold the REEL button to keep tension in the green zone. Each fish has its own challenge — taps, sequences, scatter buttons, or rhythm timing. Rarer fish = harder challenge = bigger reward.

Your fishing line wears down over time: -15% on fail or snap, -3% per catch. Below 50% you'll see a warning. Below 25% you're at risk of double snaps. Hit 0% and you can't cast — tap REPAIR (20g) to restore it.

🐙 Giant Octopus (Day 5+): A sliding target moves back and forth. Tap when it hits the center zone — 3 hits wins. Misses reset your count, not an instant fail.

🏪 THE MARKET

Catch 4 fish to unlock the market. Each day lasts 45 seconds. Build a Fish Stall to attract customers. Angry customers cost -½ heart, and patience drains faster as days go on (ruthless by Day 20).

Your inventory holds 3 per item by default. Build a 📦 Storage Chest to raise the cap to 6. Cook meals in the 🍳 Kitchen for higher prices and better healing. Tap COOK+ on a customer to cook-and-serve in one tap!

💰 A Tax Collector visits on Day 15 and Day 25. Pay 50g or lose 1 heart. Build up enough gold to be ready!
