An astronaut catching space fish is such a cool idea, and I like the sprite for the fish a lot. :) Are there more than one species of fish? I only ever encountered the Magneto-Mahl.
The steering mechanic is also interesting because not only do you have to manage the line tension, but you must also avoid obstacles. Steering the fish away from the space debris is quite tricky though, as its response to key input is exceptionally minimal, it can change direction suddenly, and the rocks spawn close together. I think adjusting at least one of these values could keep the game challenging but make losing the fish feel less like the result of unfortunate RNG.
Also, in case you weren't aware, I want to quickly mention that the out of bounds area is displaying when the game runs. Nice work overall though!
