## What is Reef Rush?

Meet three new shark types: the faster Dart, wide-mouthed Gulper, and power-immune Ironhide. Watch their edge warnings and change direction to dodge. Little fish. Big adventure. One life.

Swim through a colorful ocean, eat glowing fish food, and dodge sharks that hunt you from both sides. Slide one finger to steer. Every fish and shark swims with moving tails and fins, and your fish visibly chomps each bite.

ONE LIFE
The new free One Life mode starts with one heart and never offers a revive. Chain food for up to 5× combo points, squeeze past sharks for close-call bonuses, and beat your personal best.

THREE NEW POWERS
• Moonveil: become translucent and slip through sharks other than Ironhide for 5 seconds.
• Ripple ring: push nearby sharks other than Ironhide away for 5 seconds.
• Treasure bloom: double food points, including combos, for 5 seconds.
Combine them with bubble shields, turbo kelp, pearl magnets, time jelly, and star frenzy. Ironhide ignores Time jelly and Ripple ring, and bites through shields, frenzy, and Moonveil.

RACE A FRIEND
Invite one friend through Apple Game Center. You each have one life and up to 60 seconds. Both fish swim in one shared ocean with the same sharks, food, and powers. Swim through each other without colliding. Each pickup goes to one fish. Highest score wins. Both players need compatible iPhone versions, Game Center, and internet. Leaving or disconnecting cancels the result.

THE OCEAN GETS HARDER
Sharks improve their reactions and anticipate your movement with every level. Change direction to outsmart them. The optional Shark Gauntlet starts at level 10.

MEET SIX NEW FISH
Choose Bubble Puffer, Mochi Clownfish, Ribbon Betta, Petal Angelfish, Comet Tang, or Nova Lionfish. Each needs a separate one-time purchase AND a gameplay milestone. Purchase first or earn first; both are required to equip. Finish enough swims of at least 15 seconds, plus earn points, eat food, or own upgrade packages. See each fish’s exact requirements and progress in the shop. Existing color skins work across your unlocked fish. Gameplay milestones stay on this device; on a new device, restore purchases and earn the milestones again.

MAKE IT YOUR OCEAN
Preview six extra fish colors, four trail shapes with five extra trail colors, and five extra ocean colors. Each trail remembers its own color. Open Shop & packages for the Reef Collection: all six extra fish colors, Glow Trails, Ocean Moods, Starting Boosts, Second Chance, and Shark Gauntlet. Buy the full package or choose individual fish colors and smaller packs. Existing pack owners receive the added pack colors with this update.

One Life, Classic swim, and Friend Race are free. Optional one-time purchases have no subscriptions. Starting Boosts permanently unlocks three choices: begin a Classic or Gauntlet run with a 5-second Bubble shield, 5-second Pearl magnet, or 5-second Treasure bloom. Choose one power per run. One Life and Friend Race use powers collected during play. Second Chance adds one revive in Classic and Gauntlet only; it never applies to One Life or Friend Race. Challenge Pack unlocks Shark Gauntlet. Reef Collection includes the listed colors, trails, oceans, starting powers, revive, and challenge mode. Fish species are sold separately.

Solo play works offline. Buying and restoring purchases require the App Store. Local scores and settings stay on your device. No ads, chat, or public leaderboards.
