This run is all about flow and precision. Guide the fish through a deepwater escape, stay clear of every trap, collect valuables, and push your distance a little farther each attempt.
Power-ups help you recover, accelerate, and scoop up nearby rewards. Learning when to lean on them is part of mastering the escape.
Move your mouse up and down over the game (or drag your finger on mobile) to guide the fish. The fish smoothly follows your cursor. On keyboard, use Arrow Up/Down or W/S. React quickly as obstacles appear!
Hooks hang from above at different depths. Nets block large sections of water. Red and purple corals grow from the seafloor. Any contact costs a life — and on hard difficulty you only have one!
Bubbles, pearls, and starfish float in the water. Swim through them to collect points. The longer your consecutive collection streak, the bigger the bonus multiplier. Pearls are worth 50 pts — worth chasing!
Three rare power-ups appear occasionally: 🛡 Shield absorbs one obstacle hit. ⚡ Speed Boost makes you swim faster and increases score multiplier. 🧲 Magnet pulls nearby collectibles toward you for 6 seconds!
Basic fishing hook hanging from a line. Appears at various heights. Easy to spot by the glowing danger aura. Dodge above or below.
A hook with a juicy worm attached. More tempting — don't fall for it! Same dodge mechanic as regular hooks.
Three hooks joined together — wider danger zone. Appears in harder difficulty zones. Requires precise positioning to dodge.
The most dangerous obstacle. A wide fishing net that covers a large vertical span. Look for the gap — or use a Shield to power through!
Grows upward from the seafloor. Static position — just swim above it. Gets more frequent at higher distances.
Same as red coral but slightly smaller. Often appears in pairs with red coral for tighter navigation challenges.
