So a minor criticism/balance change idea I have is that after you eat 2 or more "gold" fish the increased capacity generally makes it harder, almost impossible, to avoid sharks. Since you need a hearty egg to increase your max size I tend to be stuck at max size and can't dodge anymore. This makes it feel like the gold fish is a downgrade instead. I understand if its supposed to be a trade off, but I just think you don't digest fast enough to justify getting them. My recommendation is that the digestion should be sped up a bit more when you do get a gold fish or make it so some fish aren't as filling. Of course, it's just my opinion and I still love this game. 

I am considering making movement when super full easier because it seems very hard. I am probably going to adjust the whirlpool speeds and spawns as well, and make running into them when big have less of an impact

Hi! How can I get access to download this update if I already bought the game?

Thanks!

are you able to download the new full game files on the game page? I'll have to test it myself

hmm nope, I can't, but I managed to get them by trying "Buy now" and the "I already paid for this..." button, which lets you enter your purchase mail you receive the URLS for the download :)

Actually, my bad, I had signed in with the wrong mail. Just changed it and can download it from the game's main page! Sorry and thank for the reply. :)

glad it worked :)
