About this game

REMEMBER: THE SEA IS NOT SAFE

You are descending into the most ancient ecosystem ever: The Ocean. It is cold. It is dark. It is crushing. Things will try to bite you. Currents will drag you away. You will see things that aren't even there.

The Goal

Use your sonar and speed to get to the bottom of the sea by avoiding hazards and collecting trash to get more lives. That's the only way you'll find what you lost.

Dash left or right or activate your sonar to navigate around hidden obstacles as you descend. Get to the end of each level with at least one life left. Lose all lives and it’s game over.

Sunlight Zone

So bright! So warm! Enjoy snatching up trash as sea life swims by.

Twilight Zone

Watch Bioluminescent fish swim by and ride stronger currents downward.

Midnight Zone

Will be revealed in futures updates!

Abyssal Zone

Will be revealed in futures updates!
