  • Incremental
  • Cosy
  • Short

A retired turtle heads out in a submarine to catch jellyfish with a bubble gun and sell them in his little shop. Each dive earns money to upgrade your gear through a big skill tree and go deeper. Short and unhurried.

Why play it now

When you want to watch numbers go up without thinking much: each dive is short and you always unlock something.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys incrementals and wants a short, calm one with good pacing.

When not to pick it

If you want a challenge or something long: it's over in about five hours.

What it offers

  • Relaxing: 75 out of 100
  • Managing: 45 out of 100
  • Exploring: 35 out of 100
  • Thinking: 30 out of 100
