What players say

Players describe this as a short, relaxing incremental game with no enemies or time limits, taking about 3 to 6 hours to finish. Unlike the developer's previous game Far Fishing, there is no prestige system, and upgrades are permanent. Several reviewers say the progression stays smooth throughout, though a few note it slows near the end.
