Harness the Moon's energy to command the ocean. Hold anywhere and the tide rises toward you, let go and it comes crashing back down. Your fish simply rides the surface, so every dodge and every close call comes down to how you move the water. The farther you swim the busier the sea gets, with mines, jellyfish, diving gulls and electric gates drifting into your path, and skimming past something deadly earns you bonus points for the near miss. Collect pearls, build combos, and spend everything on new fish, trails and moons to swim under.

MOONTIDE's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
