Fish Bowl: tap the fish before they swim off
There is a hungry cat on the dock and a pond full of fish. Meet Fish Bowl, our new quick-fire arcade game.
How it works
- Fish swim across the pond in three lanes: shallow, middle and deep. Tap a fish to scoop it out before it swims off the other side. On a keyboard, press 1, 2 or 3 for the lane.
- Each lane holds one fish at a time, so you always know where to look.
- A fish that swims off costs a chance. You have three chances for the whole run.
- Golden fish have a star and a "Gold" label. They are worth a lot, and they cost nothing if you miss them.
- Catch or lose all ten fish to clear a level and climb to the next.
Scoring
The deeper the lane, the quicker the fish and the more it scores: 10, 20 or 30 points times your level. Every fish you catch in a row adds a bigger bonus, so a long combo is worth a lot, and a fish getting away sets it back. A golden fish is worth 60 points times the level. Clear a level and you bank 50 points times the level, plus 20 times the level for every chance you have left.
Busier ponds as you climb
Level 1 starts gently, with one fish at a time. From level 3 two fish can swim together, and from level 6 three. Fish swim quicker on every level, and the golden ones start to appear from level 2. Your run is saved whenever you clear a level, so you can pick it up again on the next one.
A few tips
- Watch the deep lane. Its fish are quick, but they score three times as much as the shallow ones.
- Take the fish nearest the edge first. The one that has just arrived has time to spare.
- A golden fish costs nothing to miss, so go for it when the other lanes are quiet.
