I decided to check out the new update because I haven't played in a while, but I find it's flat out impossible to get anywhere thanks to the first homing shark. She's way too fast to outmaneuver or even to prepare for. There's nothing signaling that this specific shark can track you, so by the time you realize it, it's already too late. Also the fact that said shark can jump as well I find to be incredibly cheap. Jumping outside the water was one of the few consistent strategies against fast sharks before, and now that there's zero safe areas just feels like there's no risk or reward here, you just get punished for playing the game for more than a minute.
I can't even tell what the rest of the game is like because I can't get past 170 fish before the shark comes in. The one time I DID dodge the shark it somehow broke the game. I hope the balancing update comes soon.
