What it does
Hold anywhere on the screen to inflate and rise, release to sink, and drag to steer. The player collects glowing motes, picks up shields and boosts, and avoids spiky urchins; the reef is endless and grows denser the deeper the orb goes. The art and sound are generated procedurally.
It is free to play, contains ads, and sells cosmetic glow skins as in-app items. A Kids Mode puts purchases behind a parental gate. It is rated Everyone, and its Google Play Data safety section says it collects no data and shares none with third parties.
