Whirlpools & Eels


Another content and mechanics update :) 

Added:

  • Whirlpools: push you down less the bigger you are and only affects mermaid
  • Eels: can't be swallowed while shocking. Lets you dash forward by double tapping/clicking

Changed:

  • Sharks destroy sponges and are only slowed down when colliding, then accelerate.
  • Sharks spawn less frequently if player size isn't growing quickly
  • Shark size increases with each shark passed/eaten, no longer randomized and no longer limited
  • Shark swimming left speed increased
  • Sponge hitbox altered
  • ability fish prioritized for eating
  • Player moves left faster when too far right
  • Player size cap increase maxed at 25 sharks/eggs
  • Player belly cap increase maxed at 9 goldfish
  • gold fish belly increase reduced
  • Digestion rate increased, tripled when full (alongside growth)
  • food accumulation decreased

Fixed:

  • Bug related to infinite belly cap and movement fixed

I feel like in comparison to the previous update, this one has gone from undertuned to overtuned. At least for the mobile version (havent tested yet for desktop) the eels dash doesnt work. And the steady scaling of the sharks means you are never going to actually grow large enough to eat one unless it loops back to smallest at some point. Not that I have survived long enough to find out.

I agree, I'm going to push another small update today

What do you mean by the eel dash not working exactly?

Related: playing on PC the dash only works when double tapping the mouse button, nothing happens when double tapping space bar.

Thanks!! was about to upload without this fix
