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.

Fly a stork and deliver babies. Tilt to steer, tap to drop. That is the whole game, and it is harder than it sounds. Don't miss any homes as they pass by - miss three and it's game over. TILT TO FLY No buttons and no joystick. Hold the phone flat and lean it to fly left and right, then tap anywhere to let the baby go. It takes about ten seconds to learn and a lot longer to get good at. WATCH OUT FOR OBSTACLES Plenty up there wants that baby. Get past it and land the delivery anyway. CAN YOU MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT? The sun goes down and the town picks up speed. Most runs end before that. Yours does not have to. UNLOCK DIFFERENT BABIES Unlock babies to change the background and homes to their native lands. POP POWER-UP BUBBLES Pop power-up bubbles for temporary perks to help the deliveries, and upgrade them in the store with the gold you earn. COMPETE 33 medals to collect, and Game Center leaderboards for both high score and longest run. Just you, a stork, and a town that needs babies.
