This game is really fun and after unlocking everything I still come back to it. One thing I noticed however is once you reach the point of the green ooze it feels like the point of no return. The squids, bombs, and ooze all shrink you and feels impossible to regain that size. Is it intentional for the sake of replayability or is it just supposed to be difficult but doable? Getting past a score of 13,000 seems impossible. Other than that the game is amazing and I hope to see more from you
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 :)
Minor nitpick, as much as I love using the Cajun fish, all the fish you cook look like the exact same cooked meat from ark png texture and it makes it impossible to tell if you've cooked something important like a heartfish or goldfish. I would prefer if those in particular even as meat png had glowy outlines or something.
minor critigues, predator mode has a outright hard cap to how far they can make it, as when squids show up, it is impossible to avoid hitting there clones, and you lose size for doing so, meaning once the squids show up, you flat out cannot grow and will only shrink at this point as the squids are super common, and impossible to avoid all the decoys
in other modes, the squid decoy powerup is almost strictly detrimental, as it makes the shark randomly target between you and the clones, while also tricking the player as every decoy looks identical to the mermaid, possibly makeing you make a mistake as you though a decoy was the real one, all while preventing any other powerup from being activated untill you use the decoys or wait it out, which takes awhile
massive win of a game otherwise, and overall minor complaints here,
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.
Out of curiosity. Issss it possible to keep the sharks small? I notice they grow in size with you along the way. And I dumbly wish to feed the largest mermaid to the smallest shark. If not, oh well but it doesn't hurt to ask!
Yo i accidentally used an older version of the game (for some reason my computer registered it as still available) and after using it my save file was immediately erased. Using the newest version does nothing to fix that. I assume there's no way to fix it :[
Been playing the new update pretty regularly. I really like how the game feels right now. About the only critiques I have are regarding the power up fish. The Eel and Cajun fish are still my most used fish. The Puffer and the Squid don't offer any real benefits over the other two to make me go out of my way to use them.
It would be nice if the mermaid didn't have a swallow animation during the duration of the Puffer fish power. It'd be nice for the suction size to scale with the size of the mermaid as well. Allowing the mermaid to eat sharks one size bigger than normal would be cool too.
I actively avoid the squid powerups. It would be nice if there was some distinguishing feature that allowes you to easily tell the clones from your mermaid. It would also help if the clones spawned behind your mermaid in the layer order. I don't know how hard this would be to do, but if the clones had something like the ability to swim and eat fish for you, that would really make the squid power stand out. It would also make the squid power useful in the shark free mode.
You're doing a great job. Thanks for your efforts!
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
If the puffer does scale, it has a cap (which is fine, it shouldn't cover the whole screen or anything) that is already reached when you finally get to them. This is definitely the case in the shark free mode.
I been with this game since febuary, and wow it's really come a long way. The struggling feature is propably my favourite overall addition, but the extra content, obstacles and power-ups really make this feel like a full experience. I've still got one mermaid to collect, but i've unlocked all the mdoes and made it to shark-hunt.
If there's one thing I'd only ever want more from it, even though it's already got a final update, is for the shark to have an open mouth in shark-hunt.
I LOVE everything about it. The bellies in this game are spectacular.
I plan to do some fanart of this game eventually. Thank you for it!
Tiny question, do the mermaids all have their own unique ability? I swear they all feel slightly different to play, but I am not sure. Just wanted to know if it's just a cosmetic change or not.
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!
Only problem I have with the full release is that the last shark hunt level feels impossible to beat in less than a minute, Ive beaten it in 1:08 minutes as my fastest time, lost so many times at 59 seconds in when our sizes are pretty much the same, if the sharks size was slightly reduced I think this would be much more fair.
Also I wish there was a way to see the abilities of my mermaids by hovering over them, other than that this is one of my favorite vore games ever and I cant wait to hear about what your next game is going to be.
On the last level, you're supposed to make the shark run into the squid clones. When it makes contact with them the shark gets smaller by a little bit. Rinse and repeat until you can swallow her whole.
I have a little question, in the description, it says if you touch a land mine you shrink, but what happens when you eat one? Does the same apply, or do you not shrink? Sorry if this has been asked before, I just want to know how that works. Thanks in advance for the explanation!
If you're thinking about reducing the amount of squids, honestly I think you should just remove them. When you and the shark are both big and your clones drift somewhere like the middle it can almost be impossible to avoid the shark. I cannot beat the final one in under a minute either.
Found issue where mermaid's face doesn't load. Just blank, like the asset couldn't be found. Also... pixelated basic mermaid? Edit: Happens to shark too in pred mode.
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
I cheated to give myself near infinite just for funsies. But I noticed that all the fish go pixelated, the default mermaid does too, but then the other mermaids lose their faces and so does the shark lol.
Yep! Same to me earlier!😂 I tried to cheat, to make like 10000 goldfishes, I succeded, but my save messed up, I had pixilated stuff with everything and headless shark in a shark mode🙃 I had to delete my save and start all over again, fairly, which I did and got all finished already🙂 Dont cheat guys! And if you do, make a backup save😊
Ohhhhhhhhh I didn't know you weren't able to feed them to the default one, will they just show up every once and a while? I just got the game today, I haven't unlocked any others yet
Well, I've done just about everything in the game and it's been quite fun and throughout the various updates I probably spent over 50 hours on the game and I think I've gotten very good at it. Once you get the hold for the controls they are quite solid, and while it takes a bit of readjustment with the tweaks to buoyancy over the updates it didn't take long to get back in the swing of things. Overall a solid, simple game that keeps you coming back.
I do look forward to what you'll make in the future given how good this was. I hope whatever you plan also has an eat and grow style system. Giantesses are quite good after all.
Also, as you probably could guess I hope in the future, however far from now, you make a sequel. Probably stated it before but this is a very good game so it's only natural.
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
Final stage of shark hunt is still very difficult to beat (especially under 1 minute) due to all the toxic waste reducing size, and squids being everywhere, stopping you from getting more useful power-ups that actually help you eat/grow faster.
Only problem I have is the toxic waste in pred mode, its so numerous and you're very fast so its hard to avoid. The highest I've gotten is 5942 but then I start swimming into toxic waste and being unable to eat the larger mermaids.
I did, its hard, but possible. Took me three attempts to finish it on smartphone and five hours on pc. Toxic waste is a huge problem, they're too big! You touch/stuck in it once - you can restart the level right away.
Here a little tip, you can use bandicam to limit fps by 30, it will slow down games process, will be easier.
Yeah, I didn't notice any negative effects, her belly just swells up for a short time!🙂 Is it the same with a shark? I just haven't checked. In theory, this should help break up the food, thereby improving digestion😋
Really the only MAJOR complaint that keeps me from recommending the game is that the sharks have no indication that they're small enough to eat, I've died at least ten times now to sharks I 100% should be big enough to eat. Maybe have them look nervous or scared when you're big enough. Either that or make it so that if you're both roughly the same size, you'll bonk each other aside instead and neither gets eaten.
Outside of that, minor issues and observations:
Too easy to get pinballed in the game, bounced off of something and into something else. Namely into sharks most of the time
I don't like that the game doesn't really tell you anything, like I don't know why you can feed the mermaids, and I don't know what the "fish mode" or what the mode with the halo is, and there's nothing telling you that the eel and squid abilities are activatable or how to activate them (or what they're even for, which I still don't get.) I hear the other mermaids have abilities or something, but the game doesn't indicate that either.
The scale grows to a point where dodging stops being viable and you just kinda accept what happens, you get like 3 frames to dodge stuff coming from off-screen. (Feels like it should zoom out as you grow, but it doesn't. Glitch, or intended?)
10k points is weird. When I first started playing, I was regularly getting 9.5k points at around the point where the mines and pufferfish showed up, then I'd always die (once at like 9.99k, too). I then did the minigames and returned back to the main "story" and then I'm suddenly down to 5k by the time I reach the mines, despite playing better and eating more food (finally eating sharks too). I got confused, tried some more, now I can't break 3k at all, my last run was 1.9k at the mines. Feels like some math somewhere completely broke, I'm getting higher multipliers now than I used to too.
Kinda sucks that "unlocking" mermaids doesn't unlock them.
The game's very repetitive, especially considering the slow start every run has, nibbling away at the tiny fish.
If ONE more shark bounces off a coral piece into me, I'm rating this game one star, that's more RNG than I can tolerate.
Pufferfish and eels have their moments where you can't grab them, and the game implies that you're supposed to time your attempts to grab them, but we can't time them because there's no horizontal movement, so it's more RNG than "skill."
I do think I will put titles for the different game modes, good point. As for knowing when you can eat the shark, there is no warning sign when she dashes if you can eat her. The pufferfish and eel also lets you eat her if you are barely smaller than her, which is something to get used to for sure. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it :)
Love this update!😋 Weight gained easy, Mermaids/Sharks tail/head sticks out from mouth right before swallowing! Got finished all levels without a problems now! Shark mode looks fun to me, but there's also a bigger mermaid🙃 The mermaids still struggle in a belly after swallowing🤤
There some audio issues appeared, I've noticed that sometimes sounds not played during various events, like swallowing, digestion and everything, well, it actually happens frequently...
P.S. Played on android for now, not sure about PC, it wouldn't hurt to check.
I'll check out the audio issue. And yes it's easier to grow in shark hunts! Predator mode is a bit unbalanced right now fyi, easy at the start then barely any eatable mermaids at toxic waste stage. Quit by that stage if you are afraid of wasting away gold fish!
Cant eat any sharks now, in both cruise and fish mode, I tried hard, but they always grow faster😣
And btw looks like a bigger mermaid cant eat shark from tail?🧐 There's also something with sharks swallowing animation, it eats mermaids instantly, the animation goes too fast, but while eating other big fish, its at normal speed, not sure about mermaids swallowing, could you check it?
Yeah the player shark animation speed is a bit wonky, gonna change that too. If you're talking about the pred mode mermaid, they only come from the right side of the screen so they won't be able to get the player's tail yep
I got an idea on how to make the game easier on the phone, ditch the flappy bird control scheme and give the player full reign over the up and down control scheme using a slider that dictates the mermaid position on the Y cords
I like the idea of the mermaid being able to escape if she currently has a power-up that is still going while she’s in the shark’s belly.
Struggling with cajun would add red pulses to the shark’s belly, struggling with eel would just teleport you out and would require the least effort and there’d of course be the electric effect around the shark’s stomach, squid depend on if you have at least one clone available and the escape would only work if the size of two mermaids exceeded the shark’s max belly size, and with the pufferfish you’d see spikes poking the sharks’s belly during the struggle.
Even if actually escaping shouldn’t be a thing, the added layer of the power-ups adding to the struggle would be really cool to see.
Okay that comment was honestly a hot mess. I thought it would be cool if the eel power also enabled you to escape sharks, simple as that. I’ll let the explosion above remain in case it’s favored. -3-
The Purple Hair one can combo more small fish in her mouth to get bigger bonus food, the green one earns Goldfish for eating Sharks, and the Brown/Pink one has Double Ability Duration.
What in the world? They have EFFECTS? I know the info on the first skin is in the update description she debuted in, but where in town did you find the info on the other two?!
HungryBelly answered a comment a few days ago about it here, and I asked them what they meant when they described the Purple one, you can see them here if you dig for a moment or two.
It’s exciting stuff. You may think that the default merm is inferior to her three twins, but think again! HER special ability is having a consistent palette. 😎

Hope no one forgot about this game, it needs update :)
i still have plans for another update don't worry! Just for balancing bugs and iOS port
Good to hear :)

I would prefer if those in particular even as meat png had glowy outlines or something.
once the fish are cooked they don't give the functions they usually do
Oh....so I actively should avoid cooking those fish anyway...have alot less love for the Cajun fish now.
Spamming the eel ability might have crashed the game on mobile
Alright I'll look into that :)
It was a shark hunt, probably the same crash that happened in previous version where to many fish were loaded?
Gotcha, thanks for the help
I randomly lost all my progress on mobile, very annoying
Sorry about that :( I'll see if I can find anything about that

That would be fun to see... But nope best that can happen is getting eaten from behind when you're about twice their size
You might be able to do that best in shark hunt level 1
Is it at all possible to avoid the shark attack that follows your path in the demo? I just need to know if trying is futile or not
It's the 5th or 6th one that appears
Can't dodge it!
Yo i accidentally used an older version of the game (for some reason my computer registered it as still available) and after using it my save file was immediately erased. Using the newest version does nothing to fix that. I assume there's no way to fix it :[
Ive had that problem it just hards wipes your data so you have to start again :/
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

Thanks so much! was fun working on it and I still play it myself. I'd love to see the fan art!
https://twitter.com/KonbroWar/status/1831247826736804281/photo/1
Her;es a look at the fanart on my twitter! It's too big to post it here directrly.
Wow it's amazing 😍
im sorry if im late but how do i activate the other modes i love the game so far i even bought it twice lol
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
The game crashes when using pufferfish.
I'll look into it!
Is anyone able to send me there save file across, as for some reason my files been hard wiped and lost everything :( (So f*ing annoyed right now)
Tiny question, do the mermaids all have their own unique ability? I swear they all feel slightly different to play, but I am not sure. Just wanted to know if it's just a cosmetic change or not.

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.
I really like the update.
I noticed a problem, in normal mode when eating red fish the ability does not always work.
You can no longer get another ability while you already have one, is this happening when you have no ability?
I have a little question, in the description, it says if you touch a land mine you shrink, but what happens when you eat one? Does the same apply, or do you not shrink? Sorry if this has been asked before, I just want to know how that works. Thanks in advance for the explanation!
Nothing happens when you eat it! No food either
You should totally add woman swimming at the top of the water that you can eat, and maybe eat you :))
And maybe different variants for the sharks :)
Would love that, unfortunately i won't be adding anything more
So no more updates :((
I will be making bug fixes and balance changes along with iOS port but nothing more sorry!
If you're thinking about reducing the amount of squids, honestly I think you should just remove them. When you and the shark are both big and your clones drift somewhere like the middle it can almost be impossible to avoid the shark. I cannot beat the final one in under a minute either.
I say that and then I beat it lol
I do think I'm going to make it so the player is shown over the clones because it can be very confusing
What is different about the mode in the bottom right??
Higher fish spawn rates, harder shark. You also start out with your belly level at +3 which lets you keep her belly fuller
Found issue where mermaid's face doesn't load. Just blank, like the asset couldn't be found. Also... pixelated basic mermaid? Edit: Happens to shark too in pred mode.
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
I cheated to give myself near infinite just for funsies. But I noticed that all the fish go pixelated, the default mermaid does too, but then the other mermaids lose their faces and so does the shark lol.
yeah i'll fix that lol
also how did you cheat? Were you able to mess with the save file?
Yep! Same to me earlier!😂 I tried to cheat, to make like 10000 goldfishes, I succeded, but my save messed up, I had pixilated stuff with everything and headless shark in a shark mode🙃 I had to delete my save and start all over again, fairly, which I did and got all finished already🙂 Dont cheat guys! And if you do, make a backup save😊
Cheat Engine, it's a tool to modify memory during runtime.
How do I feed my Mermaids the goldfish??
Tap on them!
It isn't working
I've tried tapping on the mermaid and the fish and nothing happened
It doesn't work on the default one, do you have any that are underwater and aren't silhouettes?
Ohhhhhhhhh
I didn't know you weren't able to feed them to the default one, will they just show up every once and a while?
I just got the game today, I haven't unlocked any others yet
Each one has a criteria to unlock them and they stay there once you do, then you just have to feed them
Well, I've done just about everything in the game and it's been quite fun and throughout the various updates I probably spent over 50 hours on the game and I think I've gotten very good at it. Once you get the hold for the controls they are quite solid, and while it takes a bit of readjustment with the tweaks to buoyancy over the updates it didn't take long to get back in the swing of things.

Final stage of shark hunt is still very difficult to beat (especially under 1 minute) due to all the toxic waste reducing size, and squids being everywhere, stopping you from getting more useful power-ups that actually help you eat/grow faster.
I'm going to reduce squid and puddle spawns next update:) might not be within a month though
Unlocked pred mode and the mermaid you need 200 kills for, I enjoy this game :>
Only problem I have is the toxic waste in pred mode, its so numerous and you're very fast so its hard to avoid. The highest I've gotten is 5942 but then I start swimming into toxic waste and being unable to eat the larger mermaids.
I'm going to reduce the waste and squid spawns :)
i think pred mode kinda too hard to unlock at least reduce time to 40-50 seconds should be better
Has anyone beaten the last level of shark hunt under a minute yet? Just can't seem to do it.
I did, its hard, but possible. Took me three attempts to finish it on smartphone and five hours on pc. Toxic waste is a huge problem, they're too big! You touch/stuck in it once - you can restart the level right away.
Here a little tip, you can use bandicam to limit fps by 30, it will slow down games process, will be easier.
Damn man you my friend are a real gamer
I just wanted to fill that sharks belly😛
whelp gotta see if I can get rid of that now lol
I dod it on phone but it was mostly rng blessing you with a pufferfish or an fire fish early on and then it snowballs real fast
What happens if you swallow a mine? Couldnt find explanation in tutorial, does it adds to growth?
It just explodes in her belly, no damage or food :)
Yeah, I didn't notice any negative effects, her belly just swells up for a short time!🙂 Is it the same with a shark? I just haven't checked. In theory, this should help break up the food, thereby improving digestion😋
Btw do you have da, twitter or eka's acc?
Same for shark yep. I have no social media accounts sorry
Doesn't have any?😶 How I can send you a pm? Got something for you to offer, something that you might like!🙃
how do i unlock the predator mode, is it unlocked after completing the shark hunts?
Beat all the hunts with at least a minute remaining :)
one og my fav game so far, thx for the update and im waiting to see your new game too B)
Really the only MAJOR complaint that keeps me from recommending the game is that the sharks have no indication that they're small enough to eat, I've died at least ten times now to sharks I 100% should be big enough to eat.
Maybe have them look nervous or scared when you're big enough. Either that or make it so that if you're both roughly the same size, you'll bonk each other aside instead and neither gets eaten.

The pufferfish and eel also lets you eat her if you are barely smaller than her, which is something to get used to for sure. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it :)
The fish mode on the bottom right is a bit faster, higher spawn rates, and the shark starts bigger
Love this update!😋 Weight gained easy, Mermaids/Sharks tail/head sticks out from mouth right before swallowing! Got finished all levels without a problems now! Shark mode looks fun to me, but there's also a bigger mermaid🙃 The mermaids still struggle in a belly after swallowing🤤
There some audio issues appeared, I've noticed that sometimes sounds not played during various events, like swallowing, digestion and everything, well, it actually happens frequently...
P.S. Played on android for now, not sure about PC, it wouldn't hurt to check.
I'll check out the audio issue. And yes it's easier to grow in shark hunts! Predator mode is a bit unbalanced right now fyi, easy at the start then barely any eatable mermaids at toxic waste stage. Quit by that stage if you are afraid of wasting away gold fish!
I got eaten before I reached it🙂
Cant eat any sharks now, in both cruise and fish mode, I tried hard, but they always grow faster😣
And btw looks like a bigger mermaid cant eat shark from tail?🧐 There's also something with sharks swallowing animation, it eats mermaids instantly, the animation goes too fast, but while eating other big fish, its at normal speed, not sure about mermaids swallowing, could you check it?
Yeah the player shark animation speed is a bit wonky, gonna change that too. If you're talking about the pred mode mermaid, they only come from the right side of the screen so they won't be able to get the player's tail yep
Oh, why so? They should eat by the tail too, would be nice to see sharks head in a mermaids mouth😋
You gonna reduce sharks growth in cruise & fish modes?😀 Got ate just one shark for all my attempts🙁 Its great to eat few sharks in early stages.
I may reduce the size, but I want it to be fairly rare to be able to eat sharks
I hate the squids on the light level, but other than that I'm almost at Predator Mode! :D
Yeah I'll probably do something to make it feel less annoying
I'm guessing the shark that shows up at 150 that chases you in the demo is the game's way of forcing the player to lose?
Yep... She even follows you in the air
I got an idea on how to make the game easier on the phone, ditch the flappy bird control scheme and give the player full reign over the up and down control scheme using a slider that dictates the mermaid position on the Y cords
I like the idea of the mermaid being able to escape if she currently has a power-up that is still going while she’s in the shark’s belly.
Struggling with cajun would add red pulses to the shark’s belly, struggling with eel would just teleport you out and would require the least effort and there’d of course be the electric effect around the shark’s stomach, squid depend on if you have at least one clone available and the escape would only work if the size of two mermaids exceeded the shark’s max belly size, and with the pufferfish you’d see spikes poking the sharks’s belly during the struggle.
Even if actually escaping shouldn’t be a thing, the added layer of the power-ups adding to the struggle would be really cool to see.
Okay that comment was honestly a hot mess. I thought it would be cool if the eel power also enabled you to escape sharks, simple as that. I’ll let the explosion above remain in case it’s favored. -3-
I love these ideas, will consider it if I do a sequel :)
what do each of the skins do?
SPOILERS:
The Purple Hair one can combo more small fish in her mouth to get bigger bonus food, the green one earns Goldfish for eating Sharks, and the Brown/Pink one has Double Ability Duration.
What in the world? They have EFFECTS? I know the info on the first skin is in the update description she debuted in, but where in town did you find the info on the other two?!
HungryBelly answered a comment a few days ago about it here, and I asked them what they meant when they described the Purple one, you can see them here if you dig for a moment or two.
It’s exciting stuff. You may think that the default merm is inferior to her three twins, but think again! HER special ability is having a consistent palette. 😎
The default skin is going to have better swim acceleration actually, next update :)
