I played for over 1,000 and didn't see any color issues other then the eels.

Since you don't have plans to make this a full release I don't think you need any changes on the title screen. You could always make a few minor changes or just add a fish symbol somewhere. Just changing the moon into a fish and the border to blue made a big difference.

I would love to get a copy if you make some.

There's some established way to make such an update without creating too much fuss, which is called "silent update". Just send Al the new binary when it's done and fully tested and don't tell anyone but those who requested this version

I haven't checked, but does the player's fish change its brightness too?

Yup.

Thanks a whole bunch for playtesting!

Nope, though that wouldn't be too hard to do, since it wouldn't require any changes to the kernel. I think it would look odd, though.

Yeah...except. Except I would prefer that the current version in the store remain the standard version; I really like having a three-entry high score table.

I like the idea of the new version being kind of a "reward" for those beating the original game. Sort of like an Activision patch.

I played this for a while (got a score or 1802!), and everything seemed fine. My only beef is that sometimes it's kind of hard to tell which fish you're allowed to eat, especially since they're slightly different colors depending on their depth. Maybe some kind of indicator could help, or something. Like maybe the sky turns orange when you're allowed to eat the orange-ish fish, or perhaps something less obtrusive.

I don't think he's trying to hide (or...are you?), I imagine that he's just standardizing his usernames across different forums he frequents.

 

It *could* be something more nefarious, though... :)
