I don't know what else to do.
Here's a gameplay footage I recorded from itch page for LinkedIn. The goldfishes are only half your speed, so that you struggle to catch up to them, but you ONLY need 1 goldfish to sink anyway.
Besides, the goldfishes need to move, else if there's a piranha underneath you while you consume a goldfish, you may land on piranha.

I failed to explain that which is my fault, but the core gameplay loop works exactly as i intend, on my end at least
