Fish Swap

Fish Swap is a animal game.

= Gameplay = The object of Food Swap is to remove rings and Manta rays by matching three or more fishes n a row (either vertically or horizontally). The goal is to remove as many rings and dolphins as possible before time runs out.

Fishes, when matched, are removed, allowing items above to "fall" into the empty spaces.

Gameplay is divided into rounds in which a certain number of rings or manta rays must be killed before advancing to the next round. Rounds alternate between "ring rounds" and "manta rounds", with round 1 always being a "ring round".

Some food items contain a coin which can be collected by matching the item.

= Scoring = Scoring is based on the number of rings or Manta Ray Killed. Collecting coins has no effect on the score.

= Rings = Rings are shown as yellow boxes or diamonds around a fish. An item may have up to two rings.

Rings are removed by matching and removing the fish under the ring. Each match removes a single ring. Rings are also removed when zapped by a bomb, a striped fish, or a dolphin.

Rings are stationary and do not "fall" when food items below them are removed. Therefore, the food item in a ring can be changed by matching items below, allowing the column of items to shift downwards through the ring.

= Manta Ray = Manta Ray can only be removed by matching and removing items below, causing them to fall to the bottom row. Manta Rays

are not removed by bombs, striped fishes, or dolphins.

= Bombs = When you match three (or more) food items in a row both vertically and horizontally, a bomb will appear inside a fish. Matching an item containing a bomb causes the bomb to explode, removing a 3x3 block of items. The item that contained the bomb remains, however, and throbs for a few seconds before exploding, removing yet another 3x3 block of fishes

= Striped fishes = Matching four fishes in a row or column will leave behind a yellow-striped fish. (The other three are removed.) Striped fishes, when matched, will "zap" and remove an entire row or column of food fishes.

Stripes can be vertical or horizontal, depending on how the player created the match: a horizontal swap creates horizontal stripes, while a vertical swap creates vertical stripes. Vertically striped items will zap an entire column, and horizontally striped items will zap an entire row.

= Dolphins = Matching five or more fishes in a row or column will leave behind a Dolphin. Dolphins have powerful fish eater abilities:

Swapping a dolphin with a normal fish will "zap" and kill all instances of that fish. It will also remove any ring that happens to surround a zapped item.

Swapping a dolphin with a striped fish will "zap" every row or column (depending on stripe orientation) containing that fish. This often clears the entire board.

Swapping two dophins zaps every fish, clearing the entire board.

= Locked fishes = In later rounds, some fishes will be locked or frozen; these items immobile: they cannot be swapped, and they will not fall into empty spaces below.

A locked fish can be unlocked by matching, causing the lock to disappear. (The previously locked fish remains and must be matched again in order to be removed.)

A frozen fish can be unfrozen by matching items directly above, below, or beside the frozen fish.

= Tips =


 * If you can't find a match, the game will provide a hint by causing two fishes to "throb". Swapping these items results in a match.
 * To quickly drop manta rays, try to create vertical matches below the manta ray
 * Whenever possible, try to match 4 or 5 fishes to create striped fishes and dolphins.
 * Remember that you control which type of fishes a dolphin will zap and remove. (For example, swapping a dolphin with a clownfish kill all clownfishes.) Saving dolphins and using them strategically can help remove kill stubborn fishes.
 * Combining a striped fish with a bomb will remove three entire rows or columns.
 * Each ring and Manta Ray kill adds some time to the timer.
