Glow to lure.
Go dark to hide.

You are a tiny lanternfish in black water. Light up and small fish swim to you, but so do the red eyes in the dark. Eat to grow. Let go to vanish.

iPhone · 36 dives · first 12 free · offline

A dive at night: the glowing lanternfish lights a circle of water while pink prey lights drift nearby and the Glow button waits at the bottom right.

Your light is bait. And a beacon.

Hold to lure

Hold Glow and small fish drift toward your light. Let go and you vanish, even from a hunter mid-dash.

Grow, don't restart

Eat smaller fish to grow through three sizes each dive. A bite above size 1 costs you a size, not the dive.

36 dives into the dark

Twilight, Midnight and Abyss. Silver fish flee light, gulpers gape before they lunge, and the Leviathan sweeps the water at the end of every zone.

How it plays

  1. Drag anywhere to swim.One thumb steers; the stick follows your finger.
  2. Hold Glow to light up.The belly lights drain while you glow and refill in the dark.
  3. Watch for red eyes, then let go.A hunter stares before it dashes. Go dark and it loses you.
  4. Eat to fill three arcs.Grow to full size to finish the dive and earn up to three stars.
The home screen: a descent of 36 lights from Twilight into Midnight, with the next dive button. The last dive of Twilight: the lanternfish near the surface while prey lights scatter in the dark below.
