Pokémon: Magikarp Jump's Unknown Predecessor

Pokémon: Magikarp Jump is the kick-ass Pokémon game in which the titular creature magikarp jumps hundreds of feet into the air. Fun, cute, and surprisingly devastating, Magikarp Jump! has provided a new way for Pokémon fans everywhere to gain a newfound appreciation for the infamous fish. Developer Select Button is the group responsible for the creation of Magikarp Jump, but before they created this epic tale of man of pokémon, the team had developed another game titled: Survive Mola Mola. The Mola Mola (also known as ocean sunfish) is the infamous fish who recently gained notoriety thanks to a rant regarding their overall uselessness in the animal kingdom. Select Button clearly understood the concerns of the individual who posted that rant as years before it even happened, they made a game in which the objective is to have your sunfish die! However, Survive Mola Mola is every bit as hilarious as the concept is morbid.

In Survive Mola Mola your job as an invisible entity is to raise the biggest baddest awe inspiring sunfish of them all. Yet, the first the player attempts anything new, their sunfish will die! But, fret not as the following sunfish generation develops immunity and gains bonuses from each death. Players everywhere will cease caring about the lives of their sunfish and simply move on to the next generation, in order to raise the majestic king of the pacific their sunfish is destined to become (after a few generations). Yet, how easy is it to kill a sunfish? After all, sunfish can grow up to ridiculous sizes, and anything that big has to have at least a bit of durability, right? The answer is no, not at all!

The sunfish in Survive Mola Mola can die from a multitude of unexpected manners. Here is a list of the methods thus far:

1. Natural causes- as they can die of old age.
2. Never being born- the fish got stuck as an egg.
3. Crashing into the fish tank...- if your turn down the brightness of the phone the sunfish will eventually crash and die into the side.
4. Death by bubbles- shaking your phone creates bubbles, the bubbles will eventually kill them
5. Thousand cuts- Tapping your fish a certain amount of times will eventually kill them
6. Sudden Changes in Light- Taking a screenshot or suddenly changing the brightness in the game will kill the thing.
7. Die on an adventure- The game features adventures... they can kill your fish.
8. Eating food- Yes, even eating kills your fish even though eating makes it grow.

Similar to Magikarp Jump as your fish continues to expire the bonuses increase and you'll have an easier time growing your sunfish. You'll want to accumulate as quickly as possible as Survive Mola Mola can become tedious at times; you can also purchase bonuses with mana. When the game has been finished once (by reaching the 5,000kg cap) the player will unlock hard mode. Playing on hard mode resets various death flags and allows even further amounts of bonuses to be accumulated. In short, hard mode is simply a better way to play Survive Mola Mola. Although the concept of Survive Mola Mola is silly it's pretty clear the developers understood the pain of the ranter in Facebook who posted the following note:
