More about this game
You explore nine distinct ocean zones as a customizable merfolk, fighting to restore lost reefs. In each area, you must defeat three charging guardians using your auto-aiming bubble attacks. Once the guardians fall, touching the shrine restores the zone. Along the way, you can collect pearls from treasures and rescue trapped sea friends. Taking damage reduces your 100 health points, and losing it all sends you back to the start of your current zone.
Tips
- Dashing grants 0.6 seconds of invulnerability, making it the perfect way to pass safely through a guardian's charge attack without taking any damage.
- Defeating a guardian restores 6 health points, which helps you stay alive and recover if you take damage while clearing a difficult zone.
- Your special surge attack varies by your chosen form; for example, forms three and four freeze enemies for four seconds when used.
FAQ
- How do I unlock new merfolk forms?
- All nine merfolk forms are available for free from the start. You can switch between them in the avatar menu to use their unique special abilities.
- What do pearls do in this game?
- Pearls are a currency used to buy the crown accessory in the wardrobe for 15 pearls. You earn them by defeating enemies, finding treasures, and rescuing friends.
- How do I rescue the sea friends?
- Each of the nine zones has one sea friend located near the middle of the area. Simply swim close to their cage to rescue them and earn eight pearls.
