Read full description

Tap. Breed. Collect. Fish Clicker is a relaxed idle game about turning one lonely fish into an ocean full of them. Tap the big fish to earn coins. Spend them on eggs in the shop, and every fish you hatch keeps earning for you — even while the app is closed. CROSS TWO FISH, GET A NEW ONE Put two fish together in a breeding tank and wait. The egg hatches into a species you didn't have before. There are more than 100 fish to find and 92 crossings to discover: the collection shows the ones you're missing as silhouettes, so you always know what's left. WATCH OUT FOR THE LEECHES Leeches turn up and eat into what you earn per tap. Squash them fast or your coins stop coming. WHAT'S IN THE GAME • More than 100 fish to hatch, breed and collect • 3 breeding tanks running at the same time • Passive income while you play, and up to 8 hours of offline earnings • Levels, multiplier bubbles and 10 trophies to unlock • Special fish that only show up at certain hours, on Sundays, or when you're online • Five languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Danish and Norwegian FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE No purchases of any kind, ever. If you want a boost you can watch an ad — double coins, faster breeding, triple experience — but you never have to. Perfect for short breaks: tap for a minute, close the app and come back to a fuller aquarium.

Start as a tiny tadpole. End as the biggest creature in the ocean. BIG FISH! is a relaxing tap-and-grow game. Every tap adds mass to your fish. Grow enough and it evolves into a new species: 30 in total, from a 2-gram tadpole to a 150-tonne blue whale. TAP TO GROW • Tap anywhere on the screen. Every tap makes your fish heavier. • Land critical taps for triple growth. • Watch your fish swim and turn in a living, animated ocean. EVOLVE 30 SPECIES • Guppy, goldfish, lionfish, shark, orca, blue whale and many more. • Every species is bigger than the last. • Evolution is automatic: reach the mass, become the fish. UPGRADE YOUR GROWTH • Earn coins as you play and spend them on five upgrades. • Grow faster per tap, per second and while you are away. KEEPS GROWING WHILE YOU'RE AWAY • Your fish keeps growing for up to 12 hours while the game is closed. • Come back, collect your reward and carry on. OUTGROW THE OCEAN • An ocean of 600 rivals ranked by mass: real players, plus ocean fish while players are few. • Swim past them one by one on your way to #1. FAIR AND SIMPLE • No ads. • No account and no sign-up. • Works offline. • Optional in-app purchases of gems speed up growth. Every species can be reached just by playing. How big can you get?
