Mermaid Select Screen Update
Hungry Mermaid Cruise » Devlog
Save data works with updates! I got a little side tracked by adding an idle mechanic for the shop screen, you unlock mermaid recolors through hidden means then feed them. They digest over time even while not playing the game, and once they are in the center of the room you can click them to play as them. Only 1 recolor is available, 2 others are in the making.
Fixed:
- Save data works across updates
Changed:
- Heart egg, heart fish, and shark give double max size increase in buffet mode
- Shark can swallow mermaid from behind if at least 3/4 of mermaid's size
- Whirlpool force significantly reduced
- eel dash distance reduced, corresponds to size
Added:
- Mermaid Select screen: access by clicking gold fish at title screen
- 1 mermaid recolor added: When playing as this mermaid, swallowing sharks earn you goldfish! Shows up in mermaid select after scoring 10,000 in one cruise. (you will need to do it in this update or later)
I will be adding 2 more mermaid recolors, the level mode, and 2 more ability fish before I am done with this game. Thanks for your continued support!! :)

Im losing my mind, I need at least a hint as to how to get the recolor.
Score 10,000 or more in a single cruise, then she shows up in the select room. After that you have to feed her gold fish and she will move to the middle of the screen as she digests over time even when you aren't playing. Once she is in the middle she can be selected! Sorry if it's a bit much, I wanted to try something new
Super fun game! I always look forward to your updates. I do have aome critiques for the special fish, namely the Cajun fish, and the Golden fish.
I find myself avoiding the Cajun fish because they turn the Golden fish and Heart fish to the cooked meat. Perhaps you would consider making it so the Golden fish don't get cooked by the flame burps? And perhaps the Heart fish box would protect the Heart fish from one flame burp, and then it breaks?
And if you're looking for ideas around mermaid recolors, would you consider using the sprites for the Eel and Cajun fish mermaids as aquireable skins? Perhaps each fish (eel/cajun) could get a small buff from the corresponding skin.
Anyway, thanks for all the hard work.
That sounds good, I will probably have permanent ability unlocks. As for not cooking special fish I'll have to think about that
I was suggesting that only the golden fish couldnt be cooked. I also suggested that perhaps the heart fish boxes could protect the heart fish from being cooked just once and break when hit with the flames, releasing the heart fish. I find that at larger sizes, it's very hard to not hit the Golden fish and the Heart Fish with the Cajun flame burps.
on the phone game the large shark at the intro is being a menace because it homes on to you twice at a small size
is that the demo version? Shouldn't be following you in the full version
yeah ah such a wasted effort, because of your old games I thought there was a secret route, turns out to be a demo file. Was genuinely trying to jump and dive that 😂 are there alot of secrets in this game? On your old ones I found maybe 30 or 40 per game
Not sure what games you are talking about, I only have this game posted! And any other games I've made don't have that many secrets haha. Everything in this game is going to be very straightforward, things naturally reveal themself even if you don't know how to get them.. the only hard thing to find would probably be the gold fish count being a button because it seems a little unusual
It was a game that had the blonde girl with the blue top you had to look after who turned out to be super voracious, it was a point and click with a huge amount of secrets like tell tale games a bit... To the point you press everything on the screen like a shop in the background would lead to another experience. If i could describe it in this game would be a cave in the background of the moving screen as the mermaid swims if you click it it goes to a cameo where she eats echo the dolphin. And goes through the Same game for a while. Or a passing boat or cruise ship you could click on where she could climb aboard and sing to people she could eat.
It's ok this is about this game which is great so far. Yeah I have the gold mermaid moving I'm not sure what she does it's an unlockable skin?
Ahh you must mean the baby fat games! Those were actually another game developer
You should be able to click the gold mermaid and she will swim to the right side of the screen, indicating she is selected :)
Revert sharks, too op
in cruise? I'll do some playing and see :)
Mostly in buffet mode, they very quickly end your run as they become impossible to avoid and with the size I am it looks like they shouldn't be able to eat me anyway. But even in cruise mode it looks jank when they do eat me. Also I think the eel power up should let you eat sharks from behind
that eel idea is perfect actually! And I think I'm gonna make it so sharks have to be a little bigger to eat from behind
Im glad you like it because right now dashing into the shark just gets you eaten lol.
i agree the 3/4 thing is horse shit with zero counter play. when you get a certain size the bullshit crams you in one spot with no recourse and the endless barrage of sharks coming exclusively from behind is infuriating. Last update I could easily crack 5000 and now its next to impossible to reach 6000. At that size you cant avoid most sharks coming from behind. Before I only had to watch for the largest and now its every fucking shark.
In normal Cruise the mermaid doesn't seem to grow until passing 1000 points in the 4/29 version.
yeah I'm gonna edit that a bit
A recolor? Nice... will any of them come with... bigger assets?~
Looking forward to the future updates, all I can say is adding a weight gain visual would make this game perfect for me... but it's still fun regardless.
Would love to be able to eat some fishermen or women as well 😈
If I ever do a sequel these are definitely good ideas :)
if you do make a sequel I'll be there to buy it day one 😉
ngl the one thing I want is the murmaid getting stuck at the belly for a moment before going down the shark's gullet when she is full.
Obviously for a sequel, I think you've done great with this one for what it is. Solid support and game.
Thanks! Also that's a good idea might put it in :)
