Ok. So after 100%ing the game, I have a few criticisms if you're willing to hear me out. But if you have a set vision for the game, please, don't let me get you down or prevent you from achieving your dream.
To start, The game is phenomenal. The animations are beautiful, and I appreciate the work put into it. I like the game a lot more than I have problems with it. I love almost everything about the gameplay. The mechanics seem to work as intended, and the hard mode cruise is just the right amount of fun. It isn't too difficult, but it isn't too easy. It has a nice balance and a reasonable difficulty curve as you increase in size. The hazards can get to be a bit overbearing, but hey, without them, there wouldn't be enough challenge to come back to. Predator mode is fun. I just wish there were more shark animations, but I'll take what I can get. All the unlockable mermaids also are pretty cool. I like the variety.
First problem. The pink lightskin mermaid is quite difficult to unlock. It took me around 2 and a half solid hours of grinding to get her. Yes, eating sharks is often a regular part of longer cruise sessions, but I tend to only get around 3 per 10000 points, which is around 8-13 minutes, so it is always more efficient to use the shark levels and get one shark per minute. Which of course, takes at least an hour and 40 minutes if you can consistently win. I don't think sharks should be easier to catch as it is supposed to be risky and add to the danger of the scenario, but it should be easier to unlock the character as it will take 1000% longer to unlock this mermaid than it does to unlock the others.
second issue. The halo variant of the game seems to make it so that the mermaid doesn't increase in size as fast, and I couldn't seem to get the mermaid to increase in size past a certain threshold. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but it did lessen my experience. I would have thought that this mode could make it so I could become as big as possible.
That's just my two cents. Again, I'm just another flawed human being, so take my opinions as you will. I appreciate what you've made. Thank you for your time.
Thanks so much!!! Yes there is a glitch in passive mode right now I am fixing, and I agree the pink mermaid takes a bit long to get... I may adjust that we will see!
Once they reach the center of the screen by digesting, you can click them and they will move to the right signifying they are selected :) it takes a few days for them to be fed enough, depending on how much you feed them
So, question. Once you get 10K points and unlock the Angel with the Halo, and then "complete" that and unlock the Trout, what happens after? is the Trout the hard mode or is there something else after that?
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
Dude ı was bot supposed to buy games such as these fetishes and waste my money,I mean the game is good but I got lost over my lust.I live in a country that a dolar is very expensive (35 times more valuable than our money) and I made a mistake by spending it. I also bought two more games and waiting them to reply to me but they:(.

Also this project wouldn't be anything without AdjectiveNounCombo's art, that's for sure
I've always wondered: What are the five songs you used for the game?
I bought some songs online from various places haha
How does one swallow a shark? I try, but it seems like every time I think I'm bigger than them, I'm not.
You can only get them if they are coming straight at you, unless you use the eel dash ability
ok cool. How do i switch characters on desktop? or are different mermaids only used to be fed goldfish?
Once they reach the center of the screen by digesting, you can click them and they will move to the right signifying they are selected :) it takes a few days for them to be fed enough, depending on how much you feed them
They will digest even when the game is not open
lmk if you want some help getting art for the next game!!
Thanks!
Six minute ago? most earliest ive seen a response from a creator
just bought and it's a lot of fun! what's the mode in the bottom right though? reading the logs i assume it's buffet but it's not clear
Thanks!! Yep it's buffet, just a faster version of the main mode. It's my favorite because there's a ton of fish
one of the best game so far. still hope someday you might add more content ToT
Thanks so much!! I will not be adding more content, just iOS ports. However future projects are still planned!
And also update, right?😋 Bug fixes, etc.
Yeah just the slime rebalance and small bug fixes
Hi. I want to pay for a full version, but I can't do it through itch.io or PayPal. Is there any other way I can pay you?
I don't think so, sorry. What about game jolt? i may be able to put it up there sometime
Unfortunately, no. It's the same with itch.io.
So, question. Once you get 10K points and unlock the Angel with the Halo, and then "complete" that and unlock the Trout, what happens after? is the Trout the hard mode or is there something else after that?
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
Having played around with that I've now unlocked the mode to play as the Shark. Is that it other than unlocking the rest of the Mermaids?
yep!
Awesome.
Have to say, this is a project I'm glad I bought. It's really well put together and I'm curious as to what you've got planned for other projects.
Hello ? Can get some some help with refund please ?
Waiting for update...
You are asking for a refund and you have the nerve to ask for an update 🤨
I was waiting for itch.io support to reply to me but they are not replying yo me :(
man, I made a mistake… I need to refund this.the game is good. but I made a mistake. PLEASE HELP ME.
What happened? :o

Great game. Quick question though? What happens when you swallow the mines using the puffer fishes abilities
Thanks! Just explodes in her stomach, nothing else. It's a bit of a detriment because it takes a while to swallow
