How do I play?
Put your thumb anywhere on the left half of the screen and drag to swim; hold DASH on the right for a burst of speed. Eat fish that are smaller than you and stay away from the mouths of bigger ones. Every fish you eat fills the growth bar at the top; the fish pictured above it show what you can eat now and what you can eat once you grow. Fill the bar to finish the level. Eat quickly to build a Frenzy score multiplier.
I keep getting eaten
Only a bigger fish's mouth can hurt you, so you can slip past behind or under it. A big fish that flashes red is hunting you: swim away or dash. You're safe for a few seconds after losing a life. Jellyfish and inflated pufferfish stun you, sea mines explode, and a warning sign at the edge of the screen means a huge predator is about to sweep through at that height. Upgrades in the shop (faster fins, more dashes, extra lives and more) make every level easier, and when you run out of lives you can watch a short video to keep going once.
Big levels, bosses and the other modes
Expedition levels are large open maps: use the minimap in the corner, and follow the gold arrow at the edge of the screen to the next treasure chest. The last level of each world has a boss: grow to full size first, then hunt it (the red arrow points the way). Finishing level 3 opens Endless Ocean, one long dive that gets deeper and harder; finishing level 6 opens Feeding Rush, 90 seconds to score as much as you can.
Stars, pearls and upgrades
Each level has three stars: one for finishing it, one for reaching the score shown on the level card, and one for the level's challenge (for example finishing without losing a life, or opening every chest). You earn pearls by collecting them in the water and by finishing levels; spend them on permanent upgrades in the shop. Every level of an upgrade costs more than the one before.
I bought something and didn't get it
Open Settings or the Shop and tap Restore Purchases. This restores permanent items: No Ads, the Pearl Doubler and the Captain's Chest (its No Ads and Pearl Doubler parts; its pearls are a one-time bonus). Pearl packs and the Starter Shell are delivered when the purchase completes; if one didn't arrive, close and reopen the game while connected to the internet, then contact us if it's still missing.
Can I get a refund?
Purchases are processed by Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Where is my progress saved?
Your progress is saved on your device. Deleting the game deletes it, and we can't recover it. Permanent purchases can always be restored with Restore Purchases. A level that you leave before finishing it starts over the next time.
Ads
This version of Gobblefin shows placeholder ads only, labelled as mock or test ads: they're generated on your device and don't contact any ad network or track you. Buying No Ads turns off the ads between levels; videos you choose to watch for rewards stay available. See our privacy policy for details.
