The core loop of this game was fun, and the extra mechanics that continued to be added on as the game progressed prevented things from getting too stale. However, it did eventually feel like the game was trying to be a bit too many things - puzzle sequences, boss fights, branch management, farming, and even rhythm and asteroids-like minigames all pop up at some point or another.

I do think that this game would sorely benefit from some quality-of-life improvements. Specifically, a button to automatically harvest "all-but-2" of each species of fish in your farm to send to either of your branches would take a way a lot of the daily repetitiveness on display. Similarly, a way to permanently hire someone to manage your farm (similar to how you have someone manage your branch) would be tremendous.

Overall it was fun, but it did drag on a bit long. A tighter version with better quality of life features would probably add an extra star.
