Have fun!

New to this version:
- modified scoring system
- slower growth
- less powerful predators
- better chances to survive even over 10 min
- improved fish behaviour


INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Control the red fish with mouse. Press the left 
mouse button to eat. You can eat plankton, algea, 
and most of the fish that are smaller than you. 
Grow bigger to be able to eat bigger fishes. Avoid 
predators of the deep water. Eat algae to gain 
more energy.

The final score is your gained additional weight 
multiplied by the seconds of survival. For example, 
if you weigh 501 kg at the end and you have lived 
for 200 seconds, your score would be 500 (51-1) 
x 200 = 100,000 points.

The accumulation area of algae is getting deeper 
and deeper all the time. This means that in later 
stage of the game, you must perhaps reach 
depths of over 50 meters to get energy.

When your fish is 'flashing', your energy level is
down to <30 %. This is a warning. Without getting
some more energy, you will die soon. If the text
on right says that 'algae is not available', you
must reach deeper to find it. When the text says
it's available, then just wait for it to appear.

Crazy piranhas are usually active only in deep 
waters, but when the game goes on, they will 
occasionally visit higher as well, so be careful! 
You can't eat them!

It's possible to get COMBO by eating three fish 
(not counting the harmless bluefish) inside 1 
second. This is more likely to occur when you have 
grown bigger, because also your mouth is naturally 
bigger then. COMBO grants you with some 
additional growth.

There is no limit for growth, so you can weigh even 
multiple tons! However, graphically the fish's growth 
stops after it reaches a certain point.

The bigger you are, the faster you will lose energy
automatically when swimming.

If the game slows down for you, you may want to
disable the water depth effect by CTRL+DEL.



SOME QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: "How big can you grow in the game?"

A: "Basically there's no limit. It's possible to
reach even 20 tonnes.


Q: "How long can you survive?"

A: "Again, no exact limit, but practically it's very
hard to live over 15 minutes. Usually it's something
like 4-8 minutes."


Q: "Why won't the other fish eat each other?"

A: "Simply because you taste better."


Q: "Those fished don't seem to move realistically."

A: "That's a false observation. We have used the
latest technology to follow fish in their real
environment, their movements and actions towards
each other. This data has been translated to
complex algorithms and movement equations that
make possible to simulate the realistic movements
in the game. This project has been part of the
FWWM-initiative and fully funded by MJK Games.


Q: "But, I mean, some of them swim even
backwards..."

A: "Indeed. I'd guess you have sometimes walked
backwards, haven't you? And I assume there has
been NO fish to ask you why you do that. :)


Q: "Why the graphics in this game suck?"

A: "No they don't. You just need to buy a better
graphics card."


Q: "Really?"

A: "No."
