FishFood Game

Welcome to FishFood, a thrilling arcade-style game where your objective is to survive, grow, and score high in an underwater world.

Game Description

In FishFood, you are a small fish navigating the perils of a vast ocean. Your aim is to eat smaller fish to score points and grow, while strategically avoiding larger predators that threaten your survival.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Eating Mechanism: Eat fish smaller than you to gain points and grow. Collide face-first into another fish to consume it.
• Size-Based Menu: A top-left menu indicates which fish you can eat based on your current size.
• Predators and Power-ups:
  • Beware of sharks! They can always eat you, except when miniaturized.
  • Seastars grant random power-ups: invincibility or shrinking sharks.
  • Seahorses increase your speed temporarily.
• Variety of Fish:
  • Small Red Fish: Worth 1 point, small and bounce off boundaries.
  • Small Green Fish: Worth 2 points, can grow into big green fish.
  • Big Green Fish: Worth 2 points. Predatory if larger than the player.
  • Silver Fish: Worth 3 points, periodically crosses the screen.
  • Rainbow Fish: Changes size and behavior. Predatory when larger than the player.
  • Big Bright Blue Fish: Appears every 50 points and is always predatory.
• Hazards: Avoid jellyfish and sea snakes that can slow you down or cause size loss.
