Merge hatchlings into giants. Drive the polluters out of the bay.
A single sea turtle hatchling is not much against a fleet of dumping boats. Two of them merged are a little more. Keep going and you get manta rays, whales, and reef guardians big enough to push back.
Honu Guardian is a merge puzzle with a tide clock running. Link matching sea creatures to grow them, spend mana to hatch more, and send your biggest guardians at the boats fouling the water before the bay's health runs out.
FIFTY REAL BEACHES
From Playa Balandra to Turquoise Bay at Ningaloo, every level is a named place with its own water, coastline, and landmark. Clear one and it is restored behind you.
FIFTY POLLUTERS, EACH WITH A HABIT
Bosses do not just have more health. A tiger shark wrapped in warning tape fights differently from a channel cutter or a refinery ghost. Learn what each one does before it reaches the shallows.
EVERY TITAN YOU BEAT SWIMS AWAY FREE
Break one open and the trash falls off it. What is underneath is a bright, live sea creature that turns and heads back out to open water. The five machines in the roster just sink.
BUILT TO BE PLAYED ON A PHONE
Touch controls, portrait and landscape layouts, no account, and no timers begging you to come back. Your best two hundred runs and top ten fastest times for each beach are saved on the device. Legendary-assisted times are labeled separately; these are personal records, not a global leaderboard.
LEGENDARY CREATURES
Optional one-time purchases permanently unlock three powerful merge recipes: Great, Great White, King Killer Whale, and Great Blue Whale. Unlock them in order, then merge two creatures of the preceding tier to create each one. Purchases unlock recipes, not instantly spawned creatures. Restore Purchases is available in SHOP.
THE OCEAN PLEDGE
At the end of the year, 50% of all profits will be donated to charity. Ours go to Oceanic Society, a U.S. 501(c)(3) that has worked on ocean conservation since 1969. If the game earns nothing, there is nothing to split, and we will say so plainly rather than quietly drop the promise.
No separate game account. No paywalled levels. All fifty beaches are playable for free. Optional purchases include powerful legendary creature recipes, Remove Ads, and Tide Charm.
A clearer bay and smoother play.
• Removed banner ads so gameplay buttons stay clear. Full-screen ads appear only between selected beaches, and optional Tide Gift ads remain available.
• Optimized ship movement, fin patrol animations, and on-screen updates.
• Corrected Neptune’s placement on the Virginia Beach shoreline.
• Your permanent purchases, saved progress, high scores, and personal fastest-time records are preserved.
