Lured In pre-v1.0.0 is out!
This version is our last chance to check for any big issues (hopefully a lot of them are fixed now!).
This update includes a load of rebalancing, but also achievements (only for those with a full key), new fish, options, synergies, minigame, and a lure!
Let me know over on the Steam forums, or on Discord if anyone has any issues.
Thanks everyone for all your help with the playtest. Upon launch, the playtest will conclude. Enjoy!

Changes

Changed the Whale Shark from a legendary into a rare fish, since they completely dominated everything in terms of profit and ease of catching
Decreased the base rate for legendary fish from 3 percent to 2
Decreased the volume of tank notifications
Made it so only one tank notification can play at once
Made it so the fish info panel background inside of a tank now reflects the fish rarity
Increased the width of the buttons inside the fish tank to make them easier to click
Increased the base fishing speed range (in seconds) from 8 to 20, to 8 to 15
Made it so large fish placed inside of a small tank from the demo version of the game will now automatically be returned to your inventory on startup
Removed the bait tab (Bait will return in VERSION 1.1)
Changed the description for the axolotl, because holy crap guys, scrap mechanic is actually gonna get an update, I can't believe it. It's been like a million years. I hope its good. Last update was the wedges I think? They were neat but it feels like we've been left on read. I'm excited to see what they do for 1.0!
