Tilt controls
Hold your iPhone upright in portrait, tap Play, and keep it still while the game sets your starting position.
- Lean left or right to steer sideways.
- Tip the top edge away from you to swim up.
- Tip the top edge toward you to swim down.
- Return to your starting position to keep the current heading.
The fish keeps moving and turns in arcs. It cannot turn around on the spot. As it grows, start each turn earlier.
If steering does not match your grip, pause and choose Recalibrate & resume. You can also adjust Tilt sensitivity in Settings.
Touch controls
Open Settings from the menu and choose Touch. Touch the tank and drag in the direction you want to swim. Release to keep swimming in that direction.
Sound and haptics
Settings has separate Sounds and Haptics switches. Sounds use your iPhone’s media volume, including in Silent Mode. Use Test sound in Settings to check playback. If you use Bluetooth headphones or a speaker, check the selected audio output.
Pause and retry
Tap Pause at the top right to stop a round. Choose Resume to continue, or Home to return to the menu. After a bonk, tap Retry for a new round.
