Before you play

Switch on location

Deep Blue tracks where you are so checkpoints light up as you reach them. It won't work without location access.

Checking location permission…
Deep Blue

You're a polar bear stocking up for winter

Dive through the ice, catch as many fish as you can, and get them into your Snow Bank before the fishing season ends. The biggest stockpile wins.

The map

Two worlds: above & below the ice

Your map is double-sided — one side above the ice, one side below. Everything happens at physical checkpoints.

📍

Get within 15m

Move to a checkpoint and its button lights up. Tap it to open the checkpoint, then choose the action to make it happen.

🧊

Above the ice

Ice Holes, the Snow Bank, three Seals, the Wise Walrus, and Start/Finish.

🌊

Below the ice

Fish — Eels, Cods and Rays — reached by diving through an Ice Hole.

Getting under

Dive through an Ice Hole

Fish live below the ice. Reach an Ice Hole and tap Dive to go under.

🫧

Your oxygen timer starts ticking

A 10-minute oxygen timer begins the moment you dive. It shows above your score and pulses red as it runs low.

🕳️

Use any ice hole

Surface at any Ice Hole, not just the one you came down. Each new dive resets your oxygen.

Below water

Swim to fish and collect

Underwater checkpoints are fish. Reach one, tap Collect, and it's added to what you're carrying.

🐟

Bigger fish, bigger haul

Eels are the smallest, then Cods, and Rays are the largest — heavier fish are worth more kilograms.

Each fish, once

Catch a fish and it vanishes for the rest of your dive. Grab as many as you dare before you surface.

🔄

They restock if you level up

Take a lesson from the Wise Walrus (see slide 8) and every fishing point repopulates, ready to catch again.

The catch

Carrying fish is risky

Any fish in your paws is unsafe until you bank it. There are just two ways it leaves you:

You run out of oxygen. If your oxygen timer hits zero before you surface, you drop every fish you're carrying — including anything collected from your Seals (see slide 8). Always surface in time.
You bank it. Reach the Snow Bank and the fish is locked in for good. Surfacing saves you from drowning, but it doesn't bank anything — the fish rides along on every dive, still unscored, until you deposit it.
Locking it in

Bank fish to score them

Visit the Snow Bank and everything you're holding is deposited instantly. Banked fish can never be lost.

All fish start at Level 1 weights; the Wise Walrus can raise these values (next slide). Only fish in the Snow Bank count at the end — fish in your paws, or waiting at a Seal, score nothing.

Above the ice

Two friends can help

🦭

Three Mercenary Seals

There are three Seals to recruit. Solve a Seal's puzzle and it starts fishing for you at 0.5kg a minute until the game ends. Its catch piles up at the Seal — you must go back and revisit it to collect what it's caught. A wrong answer locks the puzzle for 10 seconds.

🦡

Wise Walrus

Spend banked fish on lessons and every fish becomes worth more (see below). Level 1→2 costs 15kg, Level 2→3 costs 30kg, and each lesson repopulates the fishing points.

Puzzle answers are a single word, letter or number — type 5, not "five".

Coming home

Check in at the Finish

Get back and check in at the Finish checkpoint within the allowed time to end your game.

🏁

+15kg for checking in

Each player must check in at the Finish before time runs out to earn a 15kg bonus, banked automatically. No check-in, no bonus.

⏱️

When time's up, you're done

Once the game clock ends, no more checkpoints can be reached — no diving, collecting or banking. The clock sits at the bottom of every screen.

🏦

Only banked fish count

At the final whistle, only fish in the Snow Bank are scored. Anything in your paws, or still waiting at a Seal, counts for nothing.

Practice run

Try one full loop

Dive → collect → surface → bank. Tap the lit checkpoint at each step.
