In normal Cruise the mermaid doesn't seem to grow until passing 1000 points in the 4/29 version.
Damn score multiplier is no joke, got to 15k before the biggest shark got me.
Very fun, definitely would like a mode where you can win, I loved playing Fishy as a kid and becoming an unstoppable eating machine was great.
And having mentioned wanting to make more games, I'm very excited to see what you make next!
