Hi! 

Is there an ending for this game?

I'm afraid not. Once you get to a maximum size, other fishes appear that are even larger than yours and can be very fast, making it harder to avoid them. Being heavily constrained on code size by jam rules means you have to sacrifice a lot of non-essential things.

nice game! I got up to 57! really very beautiful. graphics are superb. 

this is quite an addictive game!

Love the presentation and the gameplay! Had quite a bit of fun making my fish as chonky as it would get :)

Thanks! As your fish gets chonkier, game unlocks larger size fishes and it's more difficult to avoid collision.
