Once your home has been destroyed by a bomb that fell into the lake you lived in, you need to find a new one. But other lakes are far away. So you need to jump between aquariums on your way. There are also items similar to coins, magnets, jet wounds, etc. in your path. And you need to collect stars to discover new levels. You can buy useful things in the store for the collected coins. And remember that aquariums with different colors have different features, which means that they are not as simple as it may seem. Swamp Man is an offline game where you need to get to your new home by jumping between aquariums. But do not worry, this is not a water park, there are no slides.
