How to play

  • Tap empty water to drop a stone — it sends out a ring that expands outward.
  • A buoy pops the instant the ring’s edge sweeps across it, so aim where the wave will reach buoys in sequence.
  • Up to three rings can expand at once; two crests hitting one buoy together score an interference combo.
  • A rising swell drowns un-popped buoys over time — clear them before they sink.

Strategy & tips

  • You aim in time, not at a target: pick the spot whose growing ring will roll through a line of buoys.
  • Drop near clusters so one ring sweeps several buoys for a big combo.
  • Overlap two rings on the same buoy for interference bonuses.
  • Keep a ring in reserve for buoys about to drown from the swell.
  • Read the drift — buoys move slowly, so lead your ripples slightly.

FAQ

How do I pop a buoy?

Not by tapping it — you tap open water, and the expanding ring pops each buoy at the moment its edge sweeps across it.

What is an interference combo?

When two ring crests reach the same buoy on the same beat, you score a multiplier for the overlap.
