As for what you could improve, maybe add parallax to the background or make entirely new sprites for the **Stronger** Pingu Mafia? Those are just time-sinks though.
I think you nailed the gameplay; there was no point where I was bored or panicked. Or rather, by the time I started to get bored, I won... so you must have play-tested that ending point very well indeed.
To answer your feedback on Tenant Chaos, there were penalties for ignoring your tenants too much. They would eventually move out, having trashed the place and charging you for the damages to the room immediately. I should have made that happen more frequently. I'll keep that in mind!
Check out my game if you would like!

when you get more fish, you face the harder enemy.
If there is some kind of animation of enemy's attack, that will be more comfortable to play with!
