What's new:

3 special enemy types that mix up the action — some are fast, some explode, some don't move in a straight line
Day/night cycle — the sky changes as you progress deeper into the fight
Boss mechanics — these aren't just bigger fish. You'll need to pay attention.
17 achievements to unlock
A secret mode unlocked after beating the game
30% gold bonus for clearing every fish in a wave — no misses, no mercy
8 upgradeable stats with meaningful choices — you can't max everything until late game
Animated credits sequence
Battle report with a full breakdown of your run — kills by species, upgrade levels, gold earned
Balanced for ~10 minute runs — short enough to replay, hard enough to lose
Various bug fixes

I never though that shooting fish would be that fun.
I managed to reach the angry octopus few times, but I never could beat him, maybe I chose wrong upgrades every time.
I can note that first level felt little bit unfair because some times there was not enough damage or fire speed to deal with enemies, maybe you make big fishes in first level more rare, or make fish a bit slower at least for that level.
Yeah, I've had several comments about the game being too hard... Maybe I should have made it easier lol
Surprisingly fun game. Interesting take on bullet heavens. I don't think I'm very good at it though haha.
Keep at it.
Hey! I played first time.
The gameplay is good but maybe too hard. I stuck at second wave. I died mostly by fish that just fly pretty fast to kill it.
I like how you design the shop mechanic and overall UI
Thank you! Yeah, the game takes some getting used to!
