You suddenly find yourself in a dark expanse, much more expansive than your normal home!

You attempt to compose a lambaste but realize you don't know too many words. You rather enjoyed your former establishment! There was food, and as a goldfish that's all it really needed to keep you happy. You don't quite understand why it's gone.

Your new fishy senses alert you to three stinuli. There is some kind of land mammal scritching around to your right, a couple of fish swimming around further down the tunnel, and some presumably human trash submerged in the tunnel to you right.

You blub angrily at the crack. Food is for eating, not hiding! You stick your tongue in the crack and wiggle it around a bit, but the food is too far back. The food seems very frightened.

You wrack your little goldfishy brain for a plan on how to reach the food. You start to have a good idea about hiding until the fish come out, but now all of your blubbing has scared them pretty good and you don't know if your attention span is long enough for that much waiting.

You're already starting to lose attention. Something shiny over by the human trash catches your eye and you swim over.

POOF!

You are now a smarter fish. You are still quite dumb, but a genius compared to before.

You are somewhat more aware of yourself and your surroundings. You realize that you are somehow still hungry, and are aware enough to be surprised by that fact.

What will you do now? It looks like the tiny food fish are still in their hole, but from here it's hard to tell. The land mammal is still moving around on the ground above you.

The tiny foods are still hiding! You consider waiting them out. But you are still not very fast, so there is a good chance one of them would escape while you are eating the other one.

If only you had a long sticky tongue or something to fish them out -

Going towards the light seems like the smart thing to do. What if you miss some food in the dark??

You grab your long pointy, which is now more of a short pointy, and swim towards the light. You notice you are swimming against the flow of water, but it's not very difficult.

The tunnel seems to be getting a bit taller. Further down the tunnel, there is more light.

You keep your eyes on the prize. Which, in this case, and in all future cases, is food.

You break off a few mushrooms and drag them back into the water to OM NOM NOM. Luckily, they are soft enough for your big fishy lips to tear into.

There are more mushrooms on the land, but you're not confident in your ability to flop back into the water if you go out that far.

Your thought process is interrupted by a familiar tingling.

A pair of fleshy appendages could sure help you grab things, like your trusty stick, which it seems you dropped in your heated staring contest with the lumpy animal. Plus, you have to keep opening your mouth to breathe, which doesn't help...

That's right, land-things can't breathe water like you! You decide to stick it out and turn this creature into food.

Unfortunately, you are not strong enough to overpower it nor agile enough to get it wrapped up in your tongue.

The bird breaks free of the water and tries to fly away, but you are too big and heavy for it to carry! It flaps frantically for a while, but you hold your ground (water?). If nothing else, you can tire it out.

> Consume the bat. You can do it. I believe in you.

You feel a wave of motivation wash over you. YOU ARE A BRAVE GOLDFISH AND YOU CAN DO THIS

The animal's flapping weakens as it tires out. You swim underwater, an inch at a time.

The bird (bat?) starts hacking and coughing as its head dips below water. Eventually it ceases to resist.

Whew, that was close! You're now a tad injured and will swim even slower until it heals. The struggle has made you extra hungry, but unfortunately you can’t figure out how to eat the bat-creature!

You turn to an easier food source: soft mushrooms. You're able to grab the remaining mushrooms with your tongue and gobble them all up. You notice that every time you evolve, it takes more and more food to satisfy your hunger! However, you think you've eaten enough mushrooms to manage 2 evolutions. Some way to eat the bird would be a good start, but the possibilities are endless!

First thing's first, you need a CHOMPIER MOUTH. Your jawbones strengthen and a set of sharp teeth poke through. SNIKT!

You consider further improvements to your jaw, but for now you think you would rather GET STRONGER.

You flex your fins as they grow in size. You are now a SWOLEFISH- you mean, strong goldfish. You feel ready to take on anything. Or at least, most things which are smaller than you.

You take a moment to regard your surroundings. The two other bats have fled into the dark hole above you. Based on the amount of agitated screeching, you estimate that there are MANY MORE TASTY FOODS awaiting you there. Unfortunately, the cave-in is blocking your path through the water, and it is really quite dark. Also, multiple bats might present a greater risk to your health than just one.

You can't see the lumpy creature from here, so it might have hopped away. There is still a new area to explore farther down the tunnel.

But first, it's feast time! You begin to eat the bat. ITS FLESH IS SO DELICIOUS GRAR RAR RAR

It seems that animals give you a lot more energy than non-animals. In fact, you feel like you've gained an additional 2 EVOLUTIONS from the bat!

Your stare vacantly at the wall for who knows how long, as many thoughts run through your head that you aren't intellectually equipped to handle. However you do hear two ideas a lot: AIR BREATHING and REGENERATION. It seems that at this level of intelligence, you will just go with whatever the most popular choice in your head is.

POP! Two little nostrils open up on your nose. You wiggle up onto land with your new sickass fins to test it out. COUGH COUGH COUGH BLERGHHH you cough up a bunch of water and gasp in a breath of - air! It works!

You notice there is a little flappy thing in your throat that lets you switch between water and air breathing, depending on your environment.

Your REGENERATION evolution is less dramatic, but your fin hurts less already so it seems like something good is happening there!

Your stomach rumbles and you nibble halfheartedly at the mushroom nubs. No, not enough food there :(

Looks like there's another, larger hunter nearby. If you wait too long, they'll pounce on the thing and you'll lose them all. You'll have to make do with what you can catch now. Try to catch without getting the others to notice.

If you're eaten by the predator, just swim into its gullet and rip it open from the inside with your teeth. I don't think it will realize you have teeth.

Also, whatever they're eating, you can eat (apparently). Plan your next evolution to grab the food in that box. Maybe a stronger tail so you can jump high enough to thwack it with your tongue.

Wait. YOU know what that thing is, that's a cat!! You had one of those back home. Your human always got upset when she tried to play with you….

You consider waiting to see how what the cat does. But if it spooks the little furry creatures, you might not be fast enough to hit a moving target.
