🎯 How to play. Tap the water to fire 🔫 (2 Jeny a shot). Hold to charge a blast ⚡, then release. The longer you hold, the bigger the blast 💥 and the more it costs, up to 22 Jeny.

💰 Scoring. Each catch pays that fish's value. Since every shot costs 2, what matters is value per bullet: shrimp 🦐, sharks 🦈 and dragons 🐉 pay the most per hit, while the tiny 🐟 is break-even bait.

💥 Blasts vs bosses. The charge is a school-clearer. It shreds tight groups but bounces off the armored legends (🐢 🦈 🐉). Wear those down with aimed fire 🎯.

🎁 Powerup drops. Some catches drop a boon: the 🐬 dolphin gives 3 piercing LASER shots ⚡ (instant, cuts through a whole line); the 🐡 pufferfish drops spike ammo 🗡️ that shreds shields and hits a bit harder; the 🐢 turtle drops guards 🛡️ that block the next few cannon jams; and popping a 🦑 squid sprays ink 🖤 that damages everything around it. Watch the badges, top-left ↖️.

💣 Mines. Floating mines burn Jeny if you shoot them, so do not spray. They get denser on the higher tiers.

📈 Difficulty ramps. Easy 🟢 and Normal are calm. On Hard the fish start to dash 💨. Very Hard adds graceful u-turns ↩️. Nightmare 💀 adds fish that submerge 🌊 (untargetable for a beat) and gives bosses a shield 🛡️ you must shatter first.

⚔️ Bosses bite back. From Hard up, 🦈 and 🐉 lunge and jam your cannon 🚫 (with a countdown ⏱️). The jam lasts 1s on Hard, 2s on Very Hard, 3s on Nightmare.

⚖️ Risk and reward. Easy means squishy fish and small payouts 🪙. Nightmare means tanky, dangerous fish but far bigger payouts 🪙🪙 if you game it right.

🍹 Tideguard (from the Bar). Down a Blue Lagoon for a blue shield 🛡️ that rearms every 10s. It soaks one boss jam, or turns away a rival's squid-ink screen splatter 🦑.
