Bigger Fish: Eat fast. Stay alive.

Description

One line

A one-touch arcade game: eat smaller fish, dodge bigger ones, and outgrow them all.

Short

Bigger Fish is a one-touch arcade game for iPhone and iPad. Hold anywhere to rise, let go to fall, and eat every fish smaller than you. The catch: they grow too. Conquer five worlds of old-school hard, hand-built levels in Adventure, or chase your high score in the endless Open Water.

Long

Bigger Fish is a one-touch arcade game for iPhone and iPad about the food chain, and how quickly it turns. You start small. Hold anywhere on the screen to rise, let go to fall, and swim into anything smaller than you. Each meal makes you bigger, so the fish that threatened you a moment ago become your next target.

But you are not the only one eating. Every fish around you is growing too, and it only takes one bigger fish to end your run. Eat fast, and stay one size ahead. Runs are over in seconds, and in the beta, players tried again after 98% of the runs they lost.

There are two ways to play. Adventure is old-school hard: 75 hand-built levels that play out the same way every time, so each try teaches you more, until you find the safe route and conquer the world. Every level keeps your best time, and every world you conquer earns a crown. Across five worlds the hunt keeps changing: bounce off jellyfish in Jelly Bloom, follow the bubbles in Kelp Forest, steer clear of baited hooks in Sunset Cove, and follow a narrow headlamp through the Midnight Zone, where every glowing lure might belong to something bigger. Each world has ten levels, then a Deep End of five more.

The Open Water is an endless run through all five worlds, with a brand-new level every time, until a bigger fish eats you. Every fish you eat counts toward your high score, and the biggest runs earn looks no one can buy: the Shark fin for 50 fish in one run, the Champion glow for 100. Gather pearls along the way and spend them in the pearl shop on colors, patterns, hats, faces and trails for your fish. Pearls are only earned by playing, never sold.
