Hungry Mermaid Cruise

Does Heart fish increase your size limit if you fry it?

loving the new update, the addition of new sounds is amazing, I would love to see more burp/stomach sounds introduced in future updates as the game grows to keep up the variety, Nora is perfect at them. I have some feedback below:

1. passive mode doesnt spawn anything for me this update, it is just a blank ocean with nothing to do

2. With the new struggling mechanic I would love to see a minigame for breaking out, maybe those new heartfish can serve as a "currency" to get a struggle attempt, when you are swallowed you have to click to fill a bar before a second stomach bar depletes, if you do, the shark lets out a massive burp and you escape, consuming a heartfish. Each subsequent attempt should get harder of course to avoid infinite lives

3. I would love to see more things to eat in this game, especially as the mermaid grows, I have a few ideas: birds that fly above the water that you need to jump out to grab, scuba divers that can stun you if they are facing you, swimmers at the top of the water that can distract the shark but give lots of points, boats that you can bang from underneath and knock the people into the water. As you get bigger there can be dolphin girls/squid girls or something along those lines. It would be nice to see more human/seaanimal hybrids like the shark girl but Im not sure how feasible this would be if you aren't still working with AdjectiveNounCombo, they could even just be recolored versions of the player mermaid and at different sizes

Small Suggestions:

Add sliders to turn up/down music and sound effects

After the Shark digests the player, the screen can change into the inside of her stomach where you can still hear the stomach gurgles and her muffled burping, would make losing a chance to have some more fun ;)

318258 is my phone score, I have a few requests, more shark types, maybe a manta power up that lets her flap for speed or glide, some sort of sea bird or boat she could eat, and.. something to do before you reach 1200, that shark cuts alot of runs early and keeps you in the introduction area for alot of runs so either edit the 1000- 1200 shark or put something to do before I found myself multitasking the CPU and phone version waiting for a good run past that shark. Really want to see different prey and possibly different mermaid types, if there was like a gulper or a mega mouth type that allowed you to swallow sharks bigger than you incase your behind on the first growth curve. Or if there was a manta power up that let you eat them from above .. 

Big shark xd, You might wanna turn down the gurgle sound a tad, when you get to a certain point, it becomes an auditory nightmare, it even makes the music bug out.

You working on a big update, or just havn't had a lot of time to work on the game recently? :-)

Any shark tips? Im finding trouble particularly at the 1500 benchmark.

This is a really good game. I read the comments and see you are finishing up development soon, however I hope that if you do go for a sequel or something like that in the future you add more stuff for when we get very, very big. The name of the game is hungry mermaid cruise. It'd be fun if we'd be able to eat such a vessel at some point. Perhaps eventually whale (Orca or maybe a big white whale) or kraken girls are the threat instead of shark girls? Regardless, I look forward to your future work. 

The speed of the belly growth is just way too slow in my opinion.

Are you adding nudity or bone laiden shit?, or more oblivious signs of struggle/attempted belly escape? because these things would dramatically increase the fantasy of the game.

Great update! Sharks moves really fast when you stop swimming! And that belly works fine now, there just one little issue with whirlpools, it throws the big mermaid far beyond the screen or holds her in place, making it quite difficult to escape. Hmm... maybe its better to make mermaid ignore whirlpools if she's big enough? Think it's logical🙂

Also a little suggestion considering shark girl, maybe its a good idea to add her belch bubbles too? Though it will require to add a specific mouth animation for this maybe?🤤

Set a new record. 345426)

I died because the Whirlwind grabbed me and didn’t let me go, throwing me up.

Got a 270.000 highscore, and thought I was invincible, until a shark as big as the screen came along xd

Got purchased this, great game! I like how shark girl just keep digesting mermaid while keeping that emotionless stare, harsh and gloomy, the opposite of mermaid, she look like she doesn't care at all!😆

There some changes I'd like to suggest for next update!

- Why not place score in the left upper corner? You'll get distracted less this way.

- "No obstacles" mode please, (no sponges and whirlpools mode, these things often push you right into shark's mouth, really annoying sometimes, also no mermaid's yellow rings!🙂

- Ate a bunch of goldfish and lots stuff after, yet can't get max size belly, like in previous version, return the belly easy gain!😖

- Download links for previous game versions, please!🤩

Definitely a solid update, much more fun to play now.

A few issues I've seen are golden fish spawning too close to whirlpools or the bottom. As for heart eggs, there's been a few times where they spawned ahead of a whirlpool causing it to be missed.

Shark hitbox is still janky af and there are plenty of times that the shark warning has only worked on the left side. The eel really only seems to be useful in very niche circumstances, but an interesting idea.

Keep up the  good work!

Sooo.. i dont want to bother, but how do i get the new Version :) ? 

I have some minor suggestions I would like to pitch and 2 questions regarding game mechanics. For my suggestions I would love to see more variety in the burping sound effects, have a bunch of different burps that can play instead of just 1. Maybe the mermaid and shark can have 2 different 'pools' of sound effects, the sharks being far deeper and louder. 

I think it would also be cool if the game got some ambient stomach sounds added in, more gurgles as the mermaid grows in size, and especially have noise during the shark digestion of the player. Right now it feels rather boring and anticlimactic, some good digestion sounds and burping would make me feel inclined to get eaten ;)

I saw a comment posted here suggesting bubble effects when the mermaid or shark burps, I really like this idea and would like to add on to it. Currently when either fish-person burps, their mouth is closed. To make it feel like a burp they should switch to the frame of  animation where their mouth is open with bubbles/ripples coming out. I personally would love to see an animation of their mouths rippling from the force of the burp or maybe their eyes roll back/cheeks get red but I understand that making sprites/sprite sheets are very time consuming and difficult. That is also assuming that you are still able to get new assets from AdjectiveNounCombo.

As for my 2 questions, 1, what does the eel ability do exactly, I'm not finding much success with it and it feels rather janky, how did you intend for it to be used? 2, I would like to know your reasoning for removing horizontal movement of the mermaid, I cant tell if I prefer the new or old movement better but I would like to know your thought process.

No bugs to report. Although, I did notice that peaceful mode never got past fish type 2. Don't know if this is intentional or it just takes a long time to reach the next size category without heart eggs.

My version of the Quick bug fix / gameplay update is super cursed. xD Seconds after starting I’m stalked by one beautiful shark lady twice my size, and she immediately strikes again when she reaches an edge of the screen. She does this 6 times in a row and for some crazy reason completely locks on to my x axis on the 7th strike and is completely unavoidable. o_o

Difficulty has increased greatly.In the last update my record was 37,000.Now I can’t even reach 10,000.The vortices are very disturbing.And the sponges behave strangely; when they collide, they simply fly away to the side.

Amazing game. Idk if it's a bug I noticed that after getting about 3000 points i get stuck at the 2x combo/belly. not sure if it has something to do with digestion being linked to size. Either way thank you so much for making this I can't stop playing it <3

This is a great game. Is it possible to add another big fish or other mermaids that can also eat fish that you're able to eat?  Or is it possible to add people chilling in the ocean that you're able to eat or just and increase belly size

Or a hard-core mode with another predators or other mermaids that come from the opposite direction that you can eat/get eaten by etc

Again great game
