### 4/5 — Good game but needs more

*2024-06-23*

I like this game but it needs more.

So add some levels please.

Here’s how the levels could be implemented.

1. Progressive Difficulty: Each level could increase in difficulty, introducing faster predators.

2. Varied objectives: Levels could have different goals, such as surviving for a certain amount of time or eating a specific number of fish.

3. Boss fights: Introduce larger predator bosses at the end of every ten levels that require strategy and skill to defeat.

Those are what it could be like with levels.

Also add a new feature to the game please.

Here are is one 

1. Environmental hazards: add elements like plastic pollution and oil spills in certain areas which the players need to avoid.

I would like 40 levels in the game please.

Here’s how the levels could be structured.

Levels 1-40 the unchanging sea

Consistent backdrop: The same beautiful and familiar underwater scene serves as the same backdrop for every level.

Gradual difficulty increase: Each level introduces new fish that are faster, smarter and more challenging to catch.

Special fish: Some levels could feature rare and unique fish that offer bonus points and special abilities when eaten.

Predator variation: While the environment remains the same, the types and behaviours of predators change, requiring players to adapt their strategies.

Milestone levels: every tenth level could be a milestone that introduces a significant change, such as temporary shift the environment.

So the current environment is a dark blue background so make every level have the same dark blue background please.

Also make sure each level has different fishes.

Also the player’s fish can only swim around the screen so there is a invisible barrier that stops the player from going anywhere else.

So allow all the player’s to swim where ever they like please including up to the surface of the ocean and down to the depths please also allow them to go left to a different part of the ocean and the same with right please.

Also add some shortcuts and hidden paths to the game please.

Here are some

1. Secret caves: Hidden entrances in the environment that lead to caves filled with rare fish and treasures.

2. Currents and whirlpools: Fast-moving water currents that can propel the player’s fish forward quickly, and whirlpools that can transport them to different parts of the Atlantic Ocean.

3. Invisible passages: Passages that only become visible when the player’s fish eats a special type of food and activates a power-up.

Those are all the shortcuts and hidden paths I would like added to the game.

Also add some obstacles like submarine drones, anemone gardens, volcanic vents, bubble traps, predator ambushes, toxic zones, floating debris, strong currents, jellyfish fields and seaweed forests that slow down the player’s fish and hides predators please.

So add 1 obstacle in each level please including my ideas.

Also add some new fish characters like Glownfish, electro eel, and inkspurt squid please.

So it would be fun if there was variety of fish characters to select.

That’s all thank you.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-04-03*

The controls are janky and it is incredibly difficult to tell what fish you can and can’t eat

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2019-08-24

What's water without a little current?
A slight animation and some floating artifacts were added in this version.

MY BUBBLES!

### 1.1 — 2019-08-14

It's been quite a few years since the last update, but this one packs a few cool features to get things running smoothly again!
- Added Full-screen iPhone X/XS/XR support
- Introduced iPad support (playing on the big screen really makes all the difference)
- Removed all ads (because who wants those)
- Added multiple new input methods for moving around, including a joystick for both righties and lefties (but we just barely missed #InternationalLefthandersDay)
- Snuck in a slightly darker under-the-sea background for a darker gameplay

It's been a while since I last updated this game, but I haven't forgotten about it or you! In the future, I'd love to update the graphics and bring support for dark-mode! I could use some help with the graphics, though...so reach out to me on Twitter @0xA1EC if you've got some ideas!
