What is Fish Lab?

In this single-player 2D game, you hover your cursor over fish to collect them on the beat and earn money. Your lab grows automatically as you upgrade tools through a tech tree, assign extra power, and write grants for larger equipment upgrades. Additional modes include Sandbox, Endless, and Zen, which can run as a Windows screensaver.
