the trout is a mode that is faster with more fish and shark appearances. the halo is normal mode but without sharks. There are 2 other modes you can unlock, try eating sharks when you are bigger than them to unlock the shark hunt levels :) you can also click/touch the gold fish on the title screen to see the mermaid unlock room

What happened? :o

Thanks! Just explodes in her stomach, nothing else. It's a bit of a detriment because it takes a while to swallow

once the fish are cooked they don't give the functions they usually do

i still have plans for another update don't worry! Just for balancing bugs and iOS port

I am going to nerf the ooze once I get around to updating, I do think it is too frequent. I still have plans on making another game as well. Thanks!! I play it still this too :)

Gotcha, thanks for the help

Alright I'll look into that :)

Sorry about that :( I'll see if I can find anything about that

I actually removed being shrunk from the squid clones, but I do agree with the ability being detrimental due to the uncertainty. I'll fix that next update. Thanks so much! I'm very proud of this game.

You might be able to do that best in shark hunt level 1

That would be fun to see... But nope best that can happen is getting eaten from behind when you're about twice their size

Can't dodge it!

Thank you! And yeah I am going to make the squid clones appear behind the player in the next update. As of last update the squid power gives a bit more swim down acceleration though it is barely noticable.

As for the puffer, I believe the suction does scale with size, I could check. It also gives the same swallow size bonus as eel dash

I just made a twitter! I figured it's easier to see my updates on how things are going there instead of sifting through the comments. @HungryBellyDev

Wow it's amazing 😍

Love the concept and art! Keep. It up :)

Eat a shark, try using the abilities to help you. Fire and squid clones shrink them, eel and puffer lets you eat them when slightly smaller

You unlock it by completing all shark hunt levels with at least a minute remaining, then the shark will appear on the title screen to click!

I'll look into it!

The modes show up on the title screen, start out by trying to eat a shark, or getting as much gold fish as possible in a single cruise

Thanks so much! was fun working on it and I still play it myself. I'd love to see the fan art!

I will add in that ability info, that's a good idea. And thanks a ton!! it means a lot that people love it so much.

The default mermaid has better acceleration, the pink tail has better cheek stockpiling, the green tail earns you gold fish whenever you swallow a shark, and the orange tail has double ability time!

I will be making bug fixes and balance changes along with iOS port but nothing more sorry!

I do think I'm going to make it so the player is shown over the clones because it can be very confusing

Would love that, unfortunately i won't be adding anything more

Nothing happens when you eat it! No food either

You can no longer get another ability while you already have one, is this happening when you have no ability?

Higher fish spawn rates, harder shark. You also start out with your belly level at +3 which lets you keep her belly fuller

also how did you cheat? Were you able to mess with the save file?

yeah i'll fix that lol

Oh wow... how much goldfish do you have? The pixel version is something that's supposed to happen when you have over 10,000 goldfish, only for default mermaid

Each one has a criteria to unlock them and they stay there once you do, then you just have to feed them

It doesn't work on the default one, do you have any that are underwater and aren't silhouettes?

Tap on them!

Thanks so much! I am very proud with how it turned out. I finally got the controls and pacing exactly how I wanted surprisingly, and I play it myself pretty often. I'm wishing I put in more idle gameplay and high score incentive but it's not a big deal

I'm going to reduce squid and puddle spawns next update:) might not be within a month though

I'm going to reduce the waste and squid spawns :)

Yeah, I have been using gamemaker for a decade now so it's my fav for sure. I have experience in unity and unreal but godot I opened up just one time
