Different, beautiful, fun!
Lovely bubbles, underwater plant life, ethereal music and little fishes you have to rescue and protect. All the while, you collect coins and build your strength to circle and defeat the monsters. Deliver those sweet little fishies safely home to complete the level. Really fun.
Don't be discouraged if it eludes you at first. I was a klutz in the beginning, bumping around and restarting over and over but I liked the game so much that I persevered. With just a little practice and realizing I could attack by circling the monsters, I loved it.
Give this a try. It's different. It's beautiful. It's fun.

A Bubble Full of Fresh Air!
I have over 163 Adventure, HO, Strategy, Large File, etc. games dating back to 2008.
I NEEDED something different!
And this IS IT!
It seems so simplistic, sure, even childish at first.
However get to the higher levels and I am CHALLENGED!!!
No hints. No strategy guide. No 'skip a puzzle'.
Just you and a fun, fun game.
If you're needing a break from the same old,same old;
but you are a diehard game player like myself..
DIVE IN!!!

The mysterious Glow fish....
I loved this game and can not believe that there is absolutely no walkthrough or hints anywhere. Not that it is a game that needs alot of advice. Once you have the basics the best part of the game (besides the stunning visuals and seamless flowing gameplay) is trying to figure out the puzzles of proceeding to save all your little tadpole pals.
But....there comes a time during the Cantankerous caverns level (level 4?) that there are some real tricky puzzles and maps to figure out. So at this point I am stuck and really dying to know how to proceed past the second "coin map"
- the one with the line of bubbles and coins, it comes right after you get the little "leatherhead" chums. So if anyone has past this point and cares to help it would be much appreciated.
Plus there needs to be some discussion of the wonderful game.

Not that simple !
It's a very funny game, which is not as simple as it seems. Graphics are excellent, very fluid and pleasant. This is a the typical game you can play 20-25 min a day, just to relax after a big working day.

Surprisingly, a great game.
If you're after a game that's not a click-a-thon or sick of the HOG's, then this is for you. It is visually stunning and an overall great game.
While the storyline is nothing new (kidnapped female who needs to saved from "Mr Evil"), the means to do it is new to me. You're an oceanic creature of some sort and must collect "power up's" to become stronger to defeat the countless types of baddies trying to stop you. There's 50 stages in all, which should take you a good 12 hours to finish (I didn't time it, but it was days worth of gaming for me). While you may finish it and save the girl, getting all the acheivements is a different story(I finished Landgrabbers-General easier then this). So plenty of replay value (and I don't replay many games at all) to get those few remaining stars. So overall, a feast for the eyes, no stressful gameplay. The longer you play, the more strategic it gets. I'm glad I bought it.

A surprising favourite
I normally play a lot of the hidden object games here, but this was a refreshing change. More challenging than your average arcade type game, and took me longer to complete than some of the longer hidden object games! Great bang for your buck, and no boring bits... I wish there were more games like this!!

Fun action game
Brilliant, light hearted enjoyable fun. Have thoroughly enjoyed this game and recommend it to all. Was getting a little tired of HOG so this is needed. I like to play this with my grandson so that gives you an age range. You can leave it and pick up again no pressure unless you like to complete games ASAP.
Highly Recommended.

Loving the game already, and have only trialled it for half an hour!
I have only played half an hour of the trial, this is going to be a must buy for me. The glowing colours of this sea world of Glow Fish, and music drifts you into a world of fantasy. I wish I had the money, have to wait another week! I love the seamlessness of it too, the walls are made up of sea urchins, anemones, and starfish. It reminds of me of the world of Spongebob Squarepants. Have been told to avoid the jellyfish! I give it at least a four star marking. I might give it all fives if I am able to review it again. Not sure if you can do that or not, as this is only the second game I have reviewed. The game is as far as I know is to rescue tiny tiddlers, collect gold coins and fight other fish, but as I play more, I am sure there are lots of other things to aim for. I can only go on the half hour I have played so far. Fishy Fun for Everyone, is how I'll end this review!

Don't underestimate
This is one of those games that is a gem in a sea of ordinary games. I downloaded it expecting to trial it for a few minutes, then uninstall it. Here it is weeks later and I can't get enough.
The visuals are beautiful and the music captivating. No where have I ever seen a game that is soothing and stressful at the same time.
My advice, don't hesitate. Download it now.
