How to Play

In OceanPop the goal is to reach the target score before running out of moves. Earn points by lining up 3 or more shells of the same type. This is done by moving one shell as far horizontally or vertically as the user would like, but it can only be placed if it creates a match. Each time this is done, a move is used.

Shells

shells

There are a couple of different shells to match. From the left, the first 5 all give points. The more matches in one turn the more points. The other 2 have a different effect, though:

  • Don’t match the sea urchin, it will cost points.
  • Match the bubble to earn extra moves.

OceanPop can be played with a keyboard, mouse or gamepad. Here each will be listed.
