Wildly Growing by Diventurer
Don't you wish you were a fish? No?
In this game, you start out as a tiny fish. Smaller than the youngest sardine in the entire ocean! You have to grow, grow, GROW! Feed yourself on the sea weed until you're bigger than those pesky sardines. Now that you're big enough, you can just eat them whole! Maybe soon... You'll be the biggest of them all?
This game is fairly short - so please unlock everything.
Can you get to 0 remaining fish though? ;)

Big fish might hurt you. :) Or oil

Level 4 + Upgrades is winning! :D
The last upgrade costing 9999 food is the last unlockable. You have to search for a turbine in the sea to make it possible to buy. I just spoiled that now, but just so you know.
Killing every fish is the last goal for ultimate experience. :D
Thanks for playing!
Yeah, I have to figure the freezing out. Maybe it's because it's winter?
Thanks for playing everyone. I updated the game just now to fix incorrect build version and a bug.
If you click on "More info" or something on the bottom of the warning, you can bypass it.
Would also like more feedback that showed if it's me eating the other fish of if I should flee as I'm being used as a chewing toy.
I'm not sure if the last stage(4+upgrades, not gonna spoil it) was fun or not, the rest of the game felt very cohesive.
Please fix it eventually, the game is enjoyable!
BTW, I played the similar one when I was a child, but it was split into several screens are was controlled by mouse :-)
GREAT JOBS !
Yeah. If you feel it's too many fish it's possible to edit in fish.txt. The last thing is just something we had to do as a result of a joke. :)
@scorched
Yeah, I am trying to fix that. It's probably an infinite loop somewhere.
@exhidor
Level 4 + All upgrades is the game yeah. Or you can kill all ~730K fish. :D
Thanks a lot everyone for playing
Yeah, I totally put a virus in the game. I hope it didn't stop you. Leaving a comment like that is very silly of you.
Yeah, that's a little side effect of only being able to manage a small chunk of the 725,000+ fishes. :D
Thanks for playing everyone
I Liked the last upgrade (it's quite fun) !
Would be cool to have more evolutions because it seems quite impossible to achieve the ultimate goal.
Nice game :)
But best of all the entire gameplay is an interesting idea and a fun implementation... great job!
Wow, I really dig what you did here.
Loved the overall frame: the graphic elements were coherent, pleasant, the music & sound effects were perfect add-ons to the mood, and as a fan of E.V.O. - Search for Eden, I pretty much liked the mechanics too.
Start was a lil' cumbersome, but got the hang of it soon. Only one small detail looked a little extreme for me, and that was the momentum of dying, with all that explosive blood. :)
Nevertheless, really enjoyed this one! Nice work, keep it up!
P.s.: The Airplane mode cracked me up! :D
