When you first removed a scale from a fish you realized this was why you were built, you were built to scale fish.

Click highlighted scales to remove them.

Got my fish to 50 lbs. Doesn't seem to change anything. The 30g value for scales upgrade is not accurate or will not purchase. The 500 scales value for g upgrade is not accurate also or will not purchase. Would like to play again if these are fixed. Would like to see the autoscaler up and running. Nice art and music. Makes it feel very cheerful oddly enough while one is ... scaling fish.

In retrospect, using a weight as a icon for strength when fish weighing a certain amount was probably not the wisest. I changed the sprite to better indicate that it is upgrading strength. I also made it so you need strength earlier since the rate at which you gained strength made it so you never noticed you couldn't remove a scale in one click.

Turns out, being inconsistent in how you are naming things in code really messes things up. The gold purchase buttons should work now. I also fixed the bug where the buy buttons never went back to grey if you couldn't afford them.

This all sounds great. I'll give it another go.
