Frequently Asked Questions

How does the puffing mechanic work?

Double-tap or press the puff button to inflate your pufferfish. While puffed, you damage nearby predators instead of dying on contact. But you move slower and sink faster, so timing is everything. Puff too early and you're a sitting duck. Puff too late and you're lunch.

Are the coin prizes real money?

No. Coins are an in-game currency used to enter challenges, unlock cosmetics, and climb the leaderboards. They have no real-world cash value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for money.

Do I need to create an account?

Nope. You can play immediately with an anonymous account. If you want your scores to persist across devices, you can optionally link Game Center (iOS) or Google Play Games (Android) — but it's never required.

Can I play offline?

Yes. The core game works offline. You need an internet connection for leaderboards, challenges, and daily prizes, but you can always play and your scores will sync when you reconnect.

How do challenges work?

Pick a challenge type (Open, Direct, or Closed), set a coin wager, and play your best run. Your opponent plays the same challenge and whoever scores higher wins 1.6x the total pot. Draws get a full refund.

What are skins?

Skins are character variants unlocked by reaching Sea Rank milestones. Each skin has a stat buff (like +speed or +puff duration) and a trade-off, so they're both cosmetic and strategic. There are 15 to collect, from Lava at Rank 10 to the legendary Golden skin at Rank 100.

How do achievements work?

Two types: in-game achievements pop up during each run (kill streaks, distance traveled, combos) for instant rewards like coins and shields. Meta achievements track your lifetime stats and award larger coin prizes — up to 2,000 coins for the hardest ones.

Is it really free?

100% free to download and play. There are optional in-app purchases for coins, but you earn coins through gameplay, daily and weekly prizes, achievements, and referrals. No paywalls, no energy timers, no forced ads.
