About Reef Snack

Reef Snack is a fish eat fish game on a sunny coral reef. You start as a little clownfish that swims after your finger or mouse. Every fish smaller than you is a snack: shrimp, sardines, damselfish and more. Each bite fills your growth bar, and when it is full you grow one size bigger and the camera zooms out so you can see more of the reef.

Fish that are bigger than you have a red outline, and some of them will chase you. Get caught and you lose a heart and shrink one size. Jellyfish and sea urchins also get in the way. Grow big enough and you can eat the fish that chased you for a revenge bonus. There are 32 levels across four ocean zones: Coral Shallows, the Kelp Forest, Shipwreck Bay with its moray eels, and the dark Midnight Deep, where only the light around your fish and glowing lanternfish show the way. A shark, a giant octopus and a giant anglerfish wait as bosses. Collect shells to buy Speed, Big Mouth and Head Start upgrades, new fish skins, and decorations for My Reef, where the fish friends you win swim around.

How to play Reef Snack

1. You are a little clownfish on a sunny reef. Your fish swims toward your finger. It stays a little above your fingertip, so your thumb does not cover it.
2. On a computer, move the mouse or use WASD / the arrow keys. Click, Space or Shift gives a quick dash. On a phone, double-tap, use a second finger or press the dash button.
3. Eat any fish smaller than you. Every bite fills the growth bar, and a full bar makes you one size bigger. Reach the target size to clear the level.
4. Fish with a red outline are bigger than you and will chase you. If one catches you, you lose a heart and shrink one size. You have three hearts.
5. Jellyfish sting and stun you, and sea urchins prick you. Both take away part of your growth bar.
6. Grow big enough and you can eat the fish that chased you for a revenge bonus. Bosses wait at the end of three zones: a shark on level 16, a giant octopus 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.
7. In Shipwreck Bay, moray eels lunge from holes. In Midnight Deep it is dark: you only see near your fish, glowing lanternfish light the way and an anglerfish lure can be a trap.
8. Collect shells and spend them on Speed, Big Mouth and Head Start upgrades, or on new fish skins. In My Reef, spend shells on corals, anemones, a treasure chest, a little castle and more, and drag them where you like. Every boss you beat adds a fish friend that swims in your reef.

Tips and tricks

• Eat quickly in a row to build a combo. A big combo earns a star and more shells.
• Keep an eye on the red arrows at the edge of the screen. They point to predators that are close.
• Save your dash to escape a chase, or to catch a fast fish.
• Shrimp and sardines are safe snacks early on. Look for bigger fish once you grow.
• Buy Big Mouth early. A bigger bite reach makes every level faster.
