My high score was around 30k..  I was gonna try to beat daveh and make it to 100k, but a few &quot;features&quot; got a bit antagonistic and one just made it not fun anymore.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The first: not being allowed to get offscreen for a moment.  I could understand not getting too far away, and maybe it's just my take on it, but maybe allowing the player to hop a little offscreen would be okay because some of the fish would be really near the edge.  This one was a bit annoying, but not that really..\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The most annoying thing was the bigger fish spawning on top of me...  After it happened three times I gave up.  They should definitely not be allowed to spawn near you inside a certain range so that there's no instant-death the moment you eat a smaller fish.  It's really annoying to just have executed a quick-grab of a meal and then a bigger fish spawns on you and you lose.  (You can even see the bigger fish still growing in the frozen screenshot.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than that, it was a nice game.  I would keep playing but that spawn &quot;feature&quot; got a little antagonistic. :P"},{"author_name":"Cherishing.Team","author_uid":"65910","time":"Dec 23, 2015 @ 2:02pm","epoch":1450879020,"text":"Nice concept and fun.
