# Fish Frenzy DEV-LOG and UPDATES

So I am participating in the Arcade Mini Game Jam #33 - Big Jam, and I have the perfect idea for it. I thought that I should…

> **Description of my idea**
>
> Have you ever seen one of those fish games in an airplane where you have to eat other fish your size (you start as a small fish) and grow until you become big enough to eat every animal and win the game? Well, my game is based off from that, having arcade mode and bonus mode.
> 
> > **Summary**
> >
> > This text will be hidden

> **Major problems**
>
> 1. If you have played some of my other games before, you will know that my drawing is bad and not professional. So my solution is that, like in Katandra: Hollow Heist (by @CopySprite in the Heist Jam), I shall keep my drawings simple, and by that, I mean 4x4 or 5x5ish drawings for the fish, and bigger sizes for the bigger fish.
> 2. Music is one of the main aspects in making arcade games like these, so I need to make retro arcade music, but… I DON’T KNOW HOW! Could anybody hook me up with free music?

So this is the main/first fish.

And this is the main/first enemy fish (the one that will eat you up if you come in its way)

I apologize for my bad handwriting

If you wanted to, you could help me in this and I will credit you, but this is so far.

Regards, RizeUpDev

# ITS CALLED **WHAT**

Nah bro thats just straight up [copy](https://forum.makecode.com/t/fish-videogame/32955) [right](https://forum.makecode.com/t/fish-videogame-the-sequel/41400) [infringement](https://forum.makecode.com/t/feesh-frenzy-forever-devlog-thingaloid-idk/34662/13)/hj

So yeah i may advise you on changing the name to avoid confusion… all that aside if you need help on art or something feel free to ask. Not music tho i suck at music.

My art was simple because I only used 3 colours in that game.  
Actually… All my art is pretty simple, that’s just my chosen style.  
I could help you with some art if you want.

1. make sure you use arrays to store all the data for the fish types and 2. you can find free [Free Music!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/free-music/24638) here and 3, make sure you have enough contrast, you can see how in greyscale the 2 colours are very similar.

and just because your drawings aren’t “professional” doesnt mean they aren’t good!

If you want, [here’s](https://makecode.com/_PaFYqd0LebsK) the link for the project. If you find problems or anything in it, then please report to me.

I’m sorry guys, but I can’t submit. I have to go on a trip outside and it’ll be very hard to make this.

@MakeCode could you please rename this topic to ‘Fishing Frenzy DEVLOG’?

Do you know what Kahoot is? It’s like that.  
If you don’t then just search up blooket.
