So, I noticed that the Arcade game "Harbor Fishing" received some minor updates. It included a new "mene" spash screen which contains the only audio in the game, with a link to "play more menewsha games". The font for the scoring has changed. So far so good...
... but the animation on the fish has gone wacky. It appears that the frame rate of their 'swimming' animation has almost doubled except sometimes it skips. The result is that the fish look like they're being downright electricuted or spazzing out and should be foaming at the mouth when you catch them.
Now, the actual speeds of the fish haven't appeared to change, so you might argue that the change of the fish animation is superficial.
HOWEVER "Harbor Fishing" requires the most percise match of hand-eye coordination of any of the menewsha games I've played. There have been hundreds of times where I grumble saying I 'should have caught' a given fish. But if they go "super blip" three times then skip a frame... it is very distracting to one's eye.
Is this going to be fixed any time soon? Thank you for your time in looking into this
