About this game
Start as an anchovy, eat the smaller fish, flee the bigger ones and rule the strait.
In Strait Fish you drag your finger to steer a little anchovy, eat the fish that are smaller than you and grow. As you grow the camera pulls back and you climb the food chain: anchovy, horse mackerel, bluefish, swordfish. The strip at the top shows who you can eat; run from the big fish with a red outline, and from nets, currents and jellyfish. You have three lives, and bubbles give you a magnet, a shield or a burst of speed.

How to play
- Drag your finger: the fish follows the pointer. Double tap: a short dash.
- Eat the fish that are smaller than you and grow; the strip at the top shows who is edible.
- Run from big fish with a red outline, from nets and from jellyfish; one bite costs a life.
- Touch a bubble: magnet, shield or speed. The run ends when the third life is gone; tap once to play again.
Controls
- Drag your finger or move the mouse: the fish follows the pointer
- Double tap or double click: dash
- Arrow keys or WASD: swim
- Space: start, dash and play again
- Esc or P: pause
Tips
- A big fish pauses and takes aim before it lunges; step aside at that moment or use your dash.
- The magnet pulls faraway fish to you and the shield swallows one bite: do not miss the bubbles.
- The bait comes in the same pattern for everyone that day; your run with the most fish counts.
Questions and answers
Is it free?
Yes, you can play it for free. There are no ads inside the game.
Is the bait the same for everyone?
Yes. Which fish shows up, when and how big is decided every day from the server's date, so everybody plays the same bait pattern that day. Try as often as you like; your run with the most fish eaten counts.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It is made for one thumb in portrait mode: drag to swim, double tap to dash. On a computer the mouse, or the arrow keys and the Space bar, is all you need.
