Tips & Best Practices

💡
Keep an eye on the growth bar! Leveling up instantly makes you larger, changing previous predators into eatable prey.
💡
Dashing costs 2% of your mass. Only use it when a predator is about to bite you.
💡
Look out for clams resting on the sea floor; they snap shut when you swim close, trapping you!

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Is this a clone of Feeding Frenzy?

No. It is an independent, web-based arcade game inspired by classic ocean feeding games. It implements a unique dash-for-mass trade mechanic, real-time procedural audio synthesis, and pointer-inertia swimming physics.

Q How do size tiers work?

You can only eat creatures smaller than you. Eating smaller fish fills your growth bar. Once it hits 100%, you transform into a larger species, allowing you to consume larger fish that previously posed a threat.

Q Can I play on mobile?

Yes! The game features responsive layouts and touch drag controls, centering the viewport camera smoothly on mobile screens.
