How it feels

A brisk, dice-manipulation puzzle where you carefully nudge fish-dice through a coral board, balancing short-term tactics against unlockable long-term goals.

What players say

Players praise this as another solid dice-placement strategy game from BrainGoodGames, comparing it to solitaire board games like Sagrada. It offers weekly challenges and unlocks that ramp up difficulty over time. Some players note the lack of a story compared to the developer's earlier games, and a few say the developer stopped fixing bugs and reuses assets.
