Scouring Reddit and Steam forums, the consensus is emotional. "0.9.3f was the last time the game felt like a survival game," writes user DeepBlueGamer . "Now it's just a monster brawler. I miss the tension of hiding from a predator that was only 3x your size, not 100x your size."
Update 0.9.3f tweaks the coin rewards and growth rates. It feels balanced now. You aren't grinding for hours to unlock the medium-tier predators, but you also aren't reaching the "God Tier" fish in twenty minutes. It strikes that perfect "Goldilocks" zone where survival feels rewarding without becoming a chore. Feed and Grow Fish v0.9.3f
