# Project Overview

## Vision 🌊

**TON Fish Island** is a casual idle game with real economic incentives. Players grow an island economy by hiring fishermen, operating facilities (bars and factories), and collecting fish species that grant bonuses. The game is intentionally “cozy”: minimal click stress, clear metrics, and predictable long-term returns. 🏝️

## Key Differentiators ⭐

* **Reasonable, predictable returns** — ROIs are explicitly modeled (e.g., Fisherman NFTs: 10–25 days ROI). Design favors transparency and sustainability over unrealistic short-term payouts common in some Telegram P2E drops. 📈
* **Hybrid passive + light interaction** — core yield accrues while offline, but “bait” and light daily interactions increase engagement and rewards. ⏳+🎯
* **Asset variety and utility** — NFTs (Fishermen) and in-game buildings (Bars/Factories) have distinct roles and tradeoffs: time-limited high-yield workers vs. permanent infrastructure. 🧭⚙️
* **Collectible-driven mechanics** — collecting fish types (100 species) offers permanent bonuses up to a hard baseline cap; buildings can expand that cap. 🐠🏆
* **Ecosystem design for longevity** — withdrawal cooldowns, fees, lifetime caps, and emission controls help prevent runaway inflation. 🔒💡
