About

Deep Glow

The great pearl that lit the ocean floor has shattered. Its shards scattered into the dark, and ten guardians keep them now. Take your lantern, dive down, and bring the light back. MATCH YOUR WAY DOWN Swap and match sea creatures to clear each board. Chain combos to set off bombs, rockets, whirlpools and rainbow shells — the deeper you go, the more you will need them. 60 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Every level is its own place: coral gardens, shipwrecks, octopus dens, sunken temples, glacier tongues, tar pools. Each one is illustrated by hand, not stamped from a template. PICK YOUR DIVER Eleven divers are yours from the start — the captain, the professor, the penguin, the baby sea turtle and more. No unlock grind, no diver locked behind a paywall. Change them whenever you like. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE No timer rushing your move. Think it through, or let a booster do the thinking. Your progress syncs through iCloud, so your dive continues on any device you own. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No sign-up, no login, no personal data collected. Open it and dive.
