INSTRUCTIONS
You are Belle and your parents have made you get a job for a week because you're a grumpy teenager and they think it will do you the world of good.
Little do they know that the only job available at sleepy seaside hometown involved diving into dangerous water to shoot fish and collect all of their loot!
Here's how to play:
1) Jump in
2) Shoot fish
3) Collect the loot
4) Take it back to the boat
5) Meet your daily quota
6) Upgrade
7) Get to the end of the week
8) Don't drown
Have fun and good luck!

Well done!!! Everything was just excellent.
I enjoyed every second of the game play.
One suggestion, perhaps a pick up to increase the speed of swimming. Kill a certain type of fish and it increases your swim speed for a short time. Another pick up to extend your oxygen.
Thanks.
Could use some balnace adjustment with the upgrades snowballing super fast while the quora barely rises but the feeling of getting way more powerfull with every day was great!
The music only played for the first 10 seconds of each day but the rest of the sound design was good.
Here's my cash high-score:
Oh, two crocodiles played ping-pong with me and i was a ball for them and then i died =\
Very nice and polished game! You are made a good family team ^_^
Would be cool with some pickup range upgrade.
The biggest feedback for me is the coin counter. The count up/down does not speed up, so when you have thousands the counter never really stops. At first I thought I had to let the counter count to deposit money at the boat but turns out you can just start it and go back down. A bit confusing.
Also when getting super fast some camera tweaks could have helped, maybe zoom out or look ahead.
Art and sounds are great! Very nice and fun overall!
After 10 seconds I collided with a fish in depth 7 and died instantly :)
Very funny and satisfies my power fantasy.
Might have been nice to have some sort of soundtrack goin' in the background as you're out harpooning around, since the piece that plays upon a finished day made me wish we got more of it. Congrats to Joni and Evan for coming up with such endearing designs too!
The art is really lovely, and there's a pleasing progression to things as they are!
