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. Time it perfectly, letting go right at the top of the swell or catching it right at the bottom, and you build Surge: the sea speeds up, your multiplier climbs, and a full meter unleashes a Tidal Rush. The farther you swim the busier the sea gets, with mines, jellyfish, diving gulls and electric gates drifting into your path, and an adaptive score that changes with every biome. Collect pearls and spend them on new fish, trails, moons, crests and splashes, and try anything on before you buy.
