Big Fish Little Fish · Maze chase game

Big Fish Little Fish mixes the 1980s arcade maze chase with big-fish-eats-little-fish, in a glowing deep sea: swipe to steer a little yellow fish through the neon maze, eat dots and every fish no bigger than you to grow, and evolve from a little fish into a swordfish, an armored fish, a golden shark and finally a skeleton king. Bigger fish hunt you until then, four of them each in its own way; eat a pearl and for a few seconds every fish is food. Free to play online on phone or computer, no download.

How to play

  1. Swipe anywhere on the screen to turn; you do not have to lift your finger. Swipe before a junction and the little fish turns there by itself, cutting the corner; two quick swipes make a zigzag. On a computer, use the arrow keys or WASD.
  2. Every fish shows its level: green means you can eat it, red means it can eat you. Each dot and each fish you eat makes you grow; the meter at the top shows how far you are from your next form. Eat every dot to clear the stage.
  3. Eat a pearl in a corner and for a few seconds every fish is food, worth double. At the final form, the skeleton king, even the four hunters flee from you.
  4. Every fourth stage is the deep sea with the grouper king: ram it three times on three pearls to chase it off. Then comes a coin stage.

FAQ

How do I score more?
Eat dots one after another without gaps to build the combo (up to ×3), eat every fish you can (each fish once a stage), use the pearls to eat the big ones for double points, and clear stages fast and without losing a life for bonuses.
When does the game end?
You have three lives; a bigger fish that catches you takes one and drops you a level. 10,000 and 100,000 points each give a life back. Leave part-way and you can carry on from the stage you were on.
