About the Game

Grab your friendly fish mates, bring your tube and water sprayers, and hop into the pool in this family-friendly battle royale. Spray your opponents into oil spots to lock them up and knock them out of the match. But beware, spraying water also pushes you in the opposite direction and can put you in a sticky situation. Dodge oil, sharks, buoys, krakens, and more to be the last fish standing! Customize your character to not only be the toughest tussler around but also the most fashionable!
