Press A to spawn a fish. For some reason, they rise. Why is this?

Lag glitch. This glitch only usually happens when you have too much.

This ones not the lag glitch, I fixed that with the last release. The thing causing issues is the friction calculation, looks like a bug in the fy calculation for vy \> 0 is causing friction to be too high / stop too fast - pressing up behaves as expected, pressing down ends up stopping way too fast:

Ill look at fixing this when I’m back to my computer 🙂 (it’s not a regression from the last release, but we might be able to sneak in a fix soonish as there are at least a few things I’ll need to fix before we can update the offline app)
