Gary the megalodon rises and swallows the diver

Shark Bait is a small, silly dive game, and the first public playtest is live.

You are shark bait on a rope. Dangle, stab piranhas, grab the cash, and get winched up before you get eaten. Then buy upgrades and go down again.

The blood summons Gary, an 18-metre megalodon. When he swallows you, keep stabbing. Every stab from the inside hurts him, and he remembers every one.

Four seas, three bosses and an ending: about 3-4 hours
Controls: move the mouse to steer, right-click or Space to winch up

What I would love to know: where did it get boring, where did it get hard, and what made you laugh? It is headed for Steam, and this playtest decides what changes first.
