I remember this one back from the days of the old Intellivision gaming system!

** ABOUT THE GAME **
Eat fish that are the same size or smaller to become bigger.
You can bite the shark's tail to injure it, but watch out, he'll swing around and try to eat you!
At rank 2, seahorses will start coming out.
At rank 3, jellyfish will appear.
After rank 4, you gain 1 life per 1000 points.
Seahorses, Jellyfish and Crustaceans cannot be eaten.
Pretty simple, but it's getting very boring very soon. Also there's an eerie sound playing if you press the key but didn't released it, no idea why.
P.s. with uncapped fps it really became better to play :)

Thanks, I pushed an update just now that fixes the weird audio stuff. Turns out if I restrict my game to 60 FPS it causes this problem. I now have the FPS uncapped.
Since there's very few fish my size, it takes forever to get any score.
NeWaGe responds:
That's a good point. I'll see if I can bump up the number of fish that match your size. Thanks!
btw, you can bite the shark's tail. After several bites it will die and you can get points that way too.
The game does not start. The blue title screen appears but hitting 'S' as indicated does nothing.
NeWaGe responds:
Something is very weird with the keyboard detection. If you use your mouse and click, you can play the game that way.
UPDATE: I pushed an update, could you please re-test and see if the keys are recognized now? Thank you.
