Tiny Fishing
Cast a line, hook as many fish as the hook can hold on the way up, sell them, buy a longer line and go deeper.
Tiny Fishing is a single-screen upgrade loop that is far more compelling than it has any right to be. You cast down, steer the hook left and right as it sinks, and then it rises automatically, catching fish on the way up until it is full.
Everything about the game is the depth curve. The valuable fish are deeper, reaching them needs a longer line, and a longer line costs the money that only deep fish provide. Each cast takes about fifteen seconds and every upgrade is immediately visible on the next one, which is exactly the right rhythm for a game people play in one tab while doing something else.

Tips
- Upgrade line length before hook capacity. Depth unlocks better fish, and better fish are worth more than more bad ones.
- Steer toward the densest cluster on the way down, because the hook only catches on the way back up.
- Later fish are worth multiples of early ones, so a full hook of shallow fish is worse than a partial hook of deep ones.
