About Save the Clownfish
Save the Clownfish is a draw to save puzzle on a sunny reef. Enemies come right away. Draw as many short coral strokes as your ink allows to turn jellyfish, sea urchins and pufferfish away from the little clownfish. If one touches the fish, you redraw. Keep it safe until the timer ends.
There are 45 hand-made levels in three reef zones: Shallow Reef, Blue Grotto and Kelp Hollow. Shorter strokes earn more stars, up to 3. It runs in any browser on phones, tablets and computers, and your stars are saved on your device.
How to play Save the Clownfish
- The swarm is already moving. Draw as many short coral strokes as your ink allows to turn jellyfish, sea urchins and pufferfish away.
- Each stroke follows your finger or mouse. If a creature touches the clownfish, the try fails and you draw again.
- Keep the clownfish safe until the timer ends. Shorter strokes leave more ink and earn more stars.
