About

ShoalGlow

Features
Read full description

You are a lantern-jelly matriarch โ€” a ribbon of cold light gliding through an ink-black ocean. The little lights trailing behind you are your shoal, your health, and your halo all at once. Guide them through the dark. SHOALGLOW is a calm, luminous drift, not a race. Hold and drag anywhere to steer; lift your thumb and time softens to a slow, breathing hush while your shoal curls into a tight defensive glow. The whole ocean inhales and exhales on one slow four-second breath โ€” kelp sways, jellies pulse, and your light swells and dims along with it. Every dive is a feed of seeded "cards," each its own pocket of the deep: โ€ข KELP CATHEDRAL โ€” sway through moving slalom gates of glowing kelp. โ€ข CURRENT RAPIDS โ€” ride braided currents for double plankton. โ€ข JELLY BLOOM โ€” thread lanes of moon jellies that open and close on the breath. โ€ข ANGLERFISH DARK โ€” near-black water where your bell is the only lamp, and a slow sonar pulse is your one long-range sense. โ€ข PREDATOR SHADOW โ€” a whale-scale silhouette lunges from below; graze it and live for a bonus. ...and more, each hiding rare specimens to find and photograph into your Reef. Your glow IS your health: the more lights you carry, the farther you can see. Lose them and the dark closes in โ€” but a knocked-loose light drifts for a moment, and you can swim back and catch it before it fades. โ€ข One-thumb controls โ€” pick up and play, hard to put down. โ€ข DAILY FEED: the same waters for everyone, every 24 hours. One honest attempt. โ€ข Endless dives, comparable scores, and near-miss "brushes" measured to the tenth of a length. โ€ข CHALLENGE a friend with a 5-character code โ€” the same exact waters, their score to beat. โ€ข THE REEF: collect specimens, complete daily missions, and earn pearls. โ€ข Game Center leaderboards, all-time best and today's Daily. No ads. No pop-ups. No purchase ever touches how you play โ€” pearls buy nothing but color: shoal tints and bell patterns, cosmetics only, forever. Dim the lights. Turn the sound on. Dive.
