Downloaded all over the world!! Thank you very much. Very addictive game!! Can you get over score 500? Just PLAY and ENJOY!! bash? zsh? No! Fish! Let's play Snappy Fish! The letter with seals: Once upon a time, not so long ago, fish lived in utopia. There they spent their days living happily and swimming beautifully. But then the darkness came. It outcast the fish, and their world was left in the chaos of the Dark Age. The world of the Dark Age was controlled by poisoned fish. However, after years of searching for a way to end the Dark Age, the outcast fish found a mysterious treasure tool in the abyssal zone by chance. The mysterious treasure tool pierces through the darkness, awakening the mysterious light within the fish. However, they couldn't wield it since they were not brave enough. They were fish, but they were chicken— you know, sea chickens, as tuna are. Yet they couldn't just yield to an eternity of such a deserted darkness, so they cursed themselves into a long long sleep, waiting for a user with courage enough to wield the mysterious treasure tool. This master will revive when this letter with seals is read… Master OG: Those fish, after waiting in slumber for thirty million years, have come back from beyond time and space! Brave one, lift their curses to recover the glory from the time before the Dark Age. You have come too far to turn back now. I know you won’t run away from this charge, as that would mean a permanent surrender to the darkness; everything will be over. Stand up to uncover a brighter future, and then live the new dream of light with them! · Save the fish with mysterious treasure tool! Just swipe the screen to use it. · Disappearing fish tell you their emergency to change their body color. Fish which could not be saved will disappear, and their curse will damage the mysterious treasure tool! · Do not touch purple fish to avoid poison. Be careful! · Be on the lookout for the whale, a goddess of healing. She purges the poison from fish onscreen, and also restores the mysterious treasure tool. Brave man, I entrust the mysterious treasure tool here to you. Good luck!! Sincerely, Master OG
