🚢Dock

While the dock is open, the run stays paused so fish and automation do not advance behind the menus.

Shop — Full upgrade shop (tabs: automation, combo, coins, rare fish, cosmetics, prestige).
Sell fish — Turn inventory fish into coins.
Fish Trade Dock — Trade inventory fish for consumables; rarer / higher-point fish give better bundles (bait, nets, etc.).
Rebirth — When you meet score/coin requirements, reset the run for Prestige Points (PP). The confirmation shows how PP is calculated.
Aquarium — Museum codes, release fish, upgrade tree with score points.

🏆Modes & meta

Normal: Casual Missed fish do not end the run.

Hardcore: Risk Stricter rules—treat every fish as important.

Missions & Battle Pass: Daily and weekly goals reward coins, prestige points, and XP (no premium track). Long fishing sessions can earn small bonus prestige milestones.

Multiplayer: Lobby and chat sync in-browser (same site); opens paused like other modals.

⚙️Settings highlights

Aim assist — Toggle and radius (30px base; upgrades can raise max to 100px).
Autoclicker — Unlocks after buying it in the shop; only works while hovering fish; CPS cap raised via prestige upgrade.
Achievement / Encyclopedia mode — Global vs per-world tracking.

💡Pro tips

Rare and epic fish are worth much more—watch colors and notification tags.
Use the encyclopedia and patch log from the in-game buttons for discoverability and update notes.
Hardcore runs: keep the pause menu handy and save your world before risky sessions.
