Mantis Shrimp Brawl

Dive into an ocean arena where every strike counts. Swim through the reef, gather food, grow your creature and choose the moment to charge, dodge or attack.

Play a Quick match with AI opponents, join online matches, or host a Nearby game with friends on the same Wi-Fi or phone hotspot. Nearby play needs your permission and stays on the local network.

Explore eight game modes and sixteen arenas as you progress. Customize your creature, complete daily missions, earn stars and climb weekly online leaderboards. Adjust the joystick, controls, graphics and sound to suit the way you play.

Different sea creatures have their own attacks and defenses. Every paid species can be tried free for one match per species each day before buying a permanent unlock.

The game is free to play and includes optional in-app purchases: playable species, star packs, Remove Ads, bundles and a monthly Reef Pass. Some Quick-match boosters affect gameplay; boosted lives do not earn ranked trophies. Treasure chests can also be bought with stars after a purchase and include randomized rewards, with current odds shown before spending stars. Virtual rewards have no cash value and cannot be traded.

Reef Pass renews automatically each month until canceled through Google Play. There is no free trial for the subscription. Active pass species access lasts only while the pass is active; collected stars and boosters are yours to keep. Restore purchases recovers permanent species/bundle access and an active pass through the same store account. Spent stars and local gameplay progress are not a cloud wallet and are not restored after clearing data.

Compact top banners may appear in menus for players who have not made a purchase. No banner appears during active gameplay. Frequency-limited full-screen ads may appear at completed-match breaks; shared timed Online/Nearby rounds skip them. Remove Ads is a one-time purchase; any verified purchase also removes banners and automatic match-end ads. An internet connection is needed for online play and store services; Quick match works offline.

Keep your view clear during battle: the timer and scores now sit in a compact corner display, and large gameplay text no longer covers the action. Player names, health bars and combat controls remain visible.
