A Fish Eat Fish Game on a Sunny Reef
Reef Snack is a free fish eat fish game you can play in your browser in seconds. If you liked Feeding Frenzy or Fish Eat Fish, you know the idea: eat fish that are smaller than you, grow bigger, and stay away from the fish that are bigger than you. Here you play a cheerful little clownfish on a coral reef, and every level ends with you as one of the biggest fish around.
What is a fish eat fish game?
In a fish eat fish game, you control one fish in a busy sea. Small fish are food, big fish are danger. Every fish you eat makes you grow, and as you grow, fish that used to chase you turn into snacks. Feeding Frenzy made the idea famous, and big fish eat small fish games are still some of the most played quick games on web game sites.
Reef Snack keeps that simple, tense fun and makes it cute and fair. Bigger fish always have a red outline, arrows at the edge of the screen warn you when one is close, and short levels with clear goals make it easy to play one more.
How to play Reef Snack
- Swim. Your clownfish swims toward your finger and stays a little above it, so your thumb does not cover it. On a computer, use the mouse or WASD.
- Eat smaller fish. Each bite fills the growth bar. A full bar makes you one size bigger and the camera zooms out.
- Avoid red outlines. Fish with a red outline are bigger than you and may chase you. Get caught and you lose a heart and shrink one size.
- Dash. Double-tap, use a second finger, press the dash button, or press Space on a computer to escape a chase.
- Watch for hazards. Jellyfish stun you and sea urchins prick you.
- Grow to the target size to clear the level.
Four ocean zones, three bosses and upgrades
There are 32 levels in four ocean zones. Coral Shallows and the Kelp Forest are sunny. In Shipwreck Bay, moray eels lunge from holes in the wreck. Midnight Deep is dark: you only see the water near your fish, glowing lanternfish light the way, and an anglerfish lure can be a trap. Three zones end with a boss: a shark on level 16, a giant octopus that squirts ink on level 24, and a giant anglerfish on level 32. Watch for the ! warning, dodge the attack, then bite the boss while it is dizzy. Each level gives up to three stars for a fast time and a big combo. Shells you collect buy Speed, Big Mouth and Head Start upgrades, and new fish skins such as a pufferfish and an angelfish. Your progress is saved on your device.
Decorate your own reef
In My Reef you spend shells on 16 decorations, such as corals, anemones, sea fans, a treasure chest and a little castle, and drag them where you like. New decorations unlock as you clear zones, and every boss you beat adds a fish friend that swims around your reef.
Tips to grow faster
- Chain your bites. Eating fish quickly in a row builds a combo for more shells and a star.
- Take revenge. Once you are big enough, eat a fish that chased you for a bonus.
- Save the dash. Use it to escape, not just to go fast.
- Watch the edge arrows. They point to the closest predators off screen.
- Buy Big Mouth early. More bite reach makes every level faster.
