How the game works
Summary
You spawn as a small sea creature and immediately need to find food. Eating makes you bigger, and reaching certain growth thresholds unlocks new, stronger creatures to evolve into. There is no size cap, so you can keep growing as long as you keep eating. The ultimate goal is to climb the food chain until you become the apex predator that nothing else can touch.
- Start small you begin at the bottom of the food chain
- Eat food growing bigger is the only way to progress
- Evolve hit specific growth stages to unlock stronger forms
- Dominate reach the top and nothing in the ocean can eat you

Surviving with 60 other players
Warn
A single server holds up to 60 players, all competing in the same ocean at the same time. Being eaten by another player ends your run, at which point you can start a new game.
Creatures you can evolve into
Tips
Unlock conditions are tied to reaching the right growth stage.
- Common sea life like fish and jellyfish appear in earlier stages
- Mid-tier predators include creatures like orca
- Sharks are on the path toward the top
- Prehistoric sea creatures — including the megalodon and mosasaurus — represent the upper end of the evolution chain
Tips for growing faster
Check
Because there is no size limit, every piece of food you eat moves you closer to the next evolution.
- Never stop eating even small food adds up when there is no ceiling on your size
- As you grow, the range of things you can eat widens
