The basics of play

You start as a small fish. Eating smaller fish makes you grow, and bigger fish are a danger until you have outgrown them. The ocean gets more crowded as you get larger.

Up to three players can share one keyboard: Player 1 uses W A S D, Player 2 uses the arrow keys, and Player 3 uses U H J K or the mouse.

Tips for starting

  • Stay near the edges early on, where there are fewer large fish.
  • Only chase fish clearly smaller than you.
  • When playing together, agree who takes which side of the screen.
  • Watch what is behind you as the ocean fills up.

Who it is for

Friends or family on one keyboard, and solo players who like growing from small to large.

Things to weigh
