September 5, 2026 — the wheel, and quality of life

Double or Nothing: after any run that earns coins, you can risk that run's earnings on a skill-based stop-the-needle wheel — green quarter doubles them, red keeps half. Once per run, no randomness. There's a full guide.
The hooked-fish chain now strings out and swings naturally instead of bunching at the hook.
A gold +$ counter shows your earnings live during the shooting phase.
Mute button (top right) — your choice sticks between visits.
Four new guides, including reaching 120 m and money per minute.

Full visual pass: gradient sky with drifting clouds, water that darkens with each depth band, light rays, ambient bubbles, and a proper seabed — sand, rocks and swaying seaweed — at the end of your line. Upgrading your line now visibly pushes the floor deeper.
The brown rectangle is now an actual boat, with an actual fisherman.
New share image and itch.io screenshots to match.

Embeddable version: any site can now embed the game via an iframe — the snippet is under "Embed this game on your site" on the home page.
itch.io build published.
