A MOMENT TO FLOAT

The ocean can wait.

Swim with WASD or arrows. Hold Space, the mouse button, or Catch to grasp nearby prey. Press C to camouflage, and Shift for a quick jet. Hold still near the reef for the strongest disguise.

Eat shrimp to grow, then catch crabs and reef fish. Reaching briefly reveals your skin. A shark investigates before chasing. Hide in reef cover or jet sideways when it prepares a bite. Seals turn tightly: use cover or escape while they surface for air. Birds peel away from a passing flock: change direction or swim deeper as they plunge. Eating 12 food while injured restores a heart; another bite resets that recovery progress. A hit briefly protects you and readies your jet. At zero hearts, restart instantly.

A LITTLE WISER, NEXT TIME

Caught in the blue.

The shark caught you. Hold still in reef cover to blend in, or jet sideways when the bite warning appears.

Shipwreck explored!

You made it back to open water. Stay tuned for more levels.

Bring your compass to the anchor den to keep your treasure safe, or keep exploring the ocean.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

Your ocean.

Gentler motion calms decorative animation and removes camera easing. Camouflage and predator perception follow the same rules at every setting.
