HERE TO HELP

Back to smooth
swimming.

Help with Reef Rush, your little fish’s ocean adventure.

Playing

Slide one finger across the ocean to steer, collect food and temporary powers, and avoid hunting sharks. Open Treats & how to play from the home screen for the in-game guide.

One Life and Classic swim are free solo modes. Each starts with one heart. One Life never offers a revive; the optional Second Chance purchase allows one revive in Classic or Shark Gauntlet. Solo swims pause when the app leaves the foreground. Use KEEP SWIMMING to resume, or Back to reef to return home.

Shark Gauntlet, included in Challenge Pack, starts at level 10. Sharks react faster and anticipate movement as levels rise. Dart swims faster; Gulper has a wider mouth; Ironhide ignores Time jelly and Ripple ring and bites through Bubble shields, Star frenzy and Moonveil. Watch the edge warnings and change direction to dodge.

Friend Race is free and uses Apple Game Center. Invite one friend on another iPhone with a compatible Reef Rush version. Both fish share one ocean, sharks, food and powers. Fish pass through each other without colliding; a pickup goes to one fish. Each has one life and up to 60 seconds; the higher score wins. Game Center sign-in and internet are required. A race cannot pause: leaving the app or disconnecting cancels the result. Paid starting powers and revives never apply to Friend Race.

Powers

Bubble shield blocks one bite from a shark other than Ironhide during its six-second duration; Ironhide can bite through it.
Pearl magnet attracts nearby food for nine seconds.
Moonveil lets the fish pass through sharks other than Ironhide for five seconds. It appears less often than the other powers.
Ripple ring pushes nearby sharks other than Ironhide away for five seconds.
Treasure bloom doubles food points for five seconds.
Turbo kelp, Time jelly and Star frenzy also appear during play. The in-game guide explains their effects.

Powers can combine. Another matching treat refreshes its timer. Starting Boosts permanently offers a choice of Bubble, Magnet or Bloom at the start of each Classic or Gauntlet swim, each lasting five seconds. Choose one starting power per run.

Fish and purchases

Sunny is always available. The six extra species—Bubble Puffer, Mochi Clownfish, Ribbon Betta, Petal Angelfish, Comet Tang and Nova Lionfish—are separate one-time purchases and also require gameplay milestones. Buy first or earn first; both requirements must be met before Equip becomes available. Previewing a fish does not buy it. Prices displayed in the shop come from Apple for your storefront.

Fish	Finished swims of at least 15 seconds	Also complete any one of these
Bubble Puffer	3	1,500 total points, 20 food, or two owned upgrade packages
Mochi Clownfish	5	3,000 total points, 40 food, or two owned upgrade packages
Ribbon Betta	8	6,000 total points, 75 food, or two owned upgrade packages
Petal Angelfish	12	10,000 total points, 100 food, or two owned upgrade packages
Comet Tang	16	15,000 total points, 150 food, or two owned upgrade packages
Nova Lionfish	20	20,000 total points, 200 food, or two owned upgrade packages

Points and food are cumulative across qualifying finished swims. Upgrade packages are Glow trails, Ocean moods, Starting Boosts, Second Chance, Challenge Pack and Reef Collection. Each owned package counts once. Buying a fish never grants gameplay progress. Earned milestones stay on this device; on a new device, restore purchases and earn the milestones again.

Fish colors work across all your unlocked species. Glow trails includes three extra trail shapes and five extra colors for all four shapes. Ocean moods includes five extra ocean colors. Reef Collection includes all six extra fish colors, Glow trails, Ocean moods, Starting Boosts, Second Chance and Challenge Pack; fish species are sold separately. If you own an included individual upgrade, choose the remaining individual items to avoid duplicate payment.

Purchases have no subscriptions. Apple handles payment, purchase approval and refunds. Internet and App Store access are needed for buying and restoring. Solo gameplay works offline.

Purchase help

Open Shop & packages → Restore purchases while using the Apple Account that made the purchase. A pending purchase is delivered after Apple approves it; fish species still need their gameplay milestone. If a product is unavailable, use Retry shop after checking your connection.

If restore fails, use Copy restore support details when offered and send the text with your app build, iOS version and what happened. Do not send passwords, payment information or Apple verification codes. Apple billing support: https://support.apple.com/billing

Settings and contact

Settings includes sound/haptic controls, privacy and support. Reset local scores & settings resets local scores and preferences; it does not cancel purchases or erase earned fish milestones.
