How it feels

You play as a voracious underwater entity, rapidly devouring fish and stacking ridiculous powers to survive escalating enemy waves in a hectic, chaotic abyss.

What players say

Players praise its creative take on incremental games, requiring skill to identify specific fish among swarms. Runs are short but leaderboards encourage replays. The mocking shark death taunts and flexible equipment system that rewards build swapping are highlights.
