Awesome update, but that Shark Hunt level 'Light' is... Insane. The screen is so crowded and the shark is enormous, it's frequently impossible to avoid her as obstacles bounce you into her path and she seems to track your movements while in motion rather than just swimming in straight lines. last time I got about 30seconds into the level and it crashed. Maybe tone down the amount of stuff on-screen and make the shark slightly smaller/reduce obstacles?

EDIT: And the crash reverted my progress on Shark Hunt back to the previous stage so now I have to complete Promise again.

Yeah, I just got that crash too. It also reverted my progress...

Edit: sort of fix I found. Once you get to the final level, play a few rounds of cruse or feast mode. Even if you get the crash again it won't delete your progress, and given enough time you should be able to beat it.

'Given enough time' maybe, but I should be able to beat it by skill, not waiting for RNGesus to stop dicking me lol

Yeah I am gonna reduce the spawns, especially if it's crashing. At high levels, sharks will match your vertical speed or even move slightly up and down during a dash. Once you run out of time in a shark hunt she is unavoidable. Thanks for the feedback!

She's unavoidable seemingly at random, tracking my vertical movement faster than I can ascend/descend. I've been eaten with no way to escape in the first 20 seconds of Light over a dozen times. The lowest I've gotten the timer is 1:03. Sometimes she goes for squid ability decoys, sometimes she ignores them and goes straight for me. I don't mind difficulty but atm there's no predictable pattern or room for maneuver. You can't even reliably use the squid ability because there's so many eels and spicy fish around that you are too big to avoid while also avoiding the shark/mines/toxic waste/getting bounced around by sponges. I've played the level probably 50+ times now and I don't see how anyone can beat it without insane luck.

Also, are bigger bellies actually working? i got over 100,000 points in cruise and was so big sharks had completely stopped spawning, but the mermaid's belly seems to cap out at the same size it always did in previous versions.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to do some adjustments for sure :)
