Frequently asked questions
How does the game work?
Put your finger on the water and drag to aim. Let go and the bather swims off. When three or more of the same kind meet, the group swims away. The full instructions are on the home page.
What are the light bulb and the note for?
The light bulb in the bottom bar shows the path as an aiming aid. The note turns the sound on and off. The app remembers both settings.
How do I get onto the worldwide leaderboard?
The worldwide list uses Apple's Game Center. Sign in under “Game Center” in your device's Settings. Your best score is then submitted automatically.
My score doesn't show up worldwide.
Without an internet connection, the app keeps your best score and submits it as soon as Game Center is reachable again. Also check that you are signed in to Game Center. The “This iPhone” list always works, even offline.
Are my high scores backed up?
The local leaderboard is stored only on your device. If you delete the app, it is gone. Your entries on the Game Center leaderboard remain.
Does the game cost anything extra?
No. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no ads.
Which devices does the game run on?
On iPhone and iPad, in portrait orientation.
