So after playing the paid version, I have to say this is a pretty good starting point. It was a little frustrating to control at first, but once I realized you're supposed to move in an arc like a dolphin, it became a lot easier. I was able to reach up to 300 so far.
One thing I would suggest is that once the sharks reach the range where they become edible, maybe have the ones that can be eaten approach the player from the opposite side of the screen? While the current situation does allow for a bit of a risk/reward dynamic, it's a bit awkward to gauge whether to avoid them when you have so little time to react, so it usually ends up with the sharks being eaten by accident. It would also make things more consistent, with anything on the left side being dangerous while the right side being food.
Also I discovered a bug where the sharks just sort of disappear off-screen and don't show up again. This happens early in the game and it more or less softlocks it to where only the first two kinds of fish show up and nothing else until you reset.
Edit: Found another glitch a little while later where the shark keeps flashing the warning sign but never shows, which also ends up with a similar softlock except with the third kind of fish.
Thanks for the feedback, I am aware of these shark glitches and will fix them in the upcoming update! I was also thinking of making the sharks come from the opposite side
the sharks sizes are random in a range! I will be changing all the size differences in the next update to make it more clear if you can eat them. I'm also going to see what I can do about the move speed.
I've actually been addicted to it myself 😳 thanks for the feedback!
The concept is good, but i the controls are hard to control and gets harder the bigger you get. Also it would be nice if the shark warning appear in the same high as the shark will emerge. But a great start

I like this game quite a lot, it’s strangely addictive. Will agree that at big sizes it’s extremely hard to move.
Would love to see additional bars to display capacity and size as a number.
Also, do the sharks grow over time? I swear some of them were huge when I hit around 150 score wise.

Thanks for your support I'll keep this in mind!
