How to Play Ocean Pop
Click or tap two adjacent sea creatures to swap them. The swap only works if it creates a line of three or more identical creatures.
Match four or more to create special pieces. Striped pieces clear a row or column; bombs clear a 3x3 area; combinations of specials chain into larger clears.
Complete the level objective shown before the move limit runs out. Objectives vary: clear specific creatures, break blocks, or drop items to the bottom.
Chain reactions from falling pieces after a match can trigger additional matches automatically for bonus clears.

Tips & Strategies
Look for four-or-more matches before settling for threes. Specials clear far more board space and are essential for tight objectives.
Save special piece combinations for clustered objectives. A bomb plus a striped piece clears huge sections that would otherwise take many moves.
Work from the bottom of the board when possible. Matches low in the column shift more pieces above, increasing chain-reaction odds.
Don't waste moves on irrelevant matches. Every move counts toward the limit, so prioritize swaps that advance the objective.

About Ocean Pop
Ocean Pop is a match-three puzzle game set underwater. You swap adjacent sea creatures - fish, shells, starfish - to line up three or more of the same type, which pops them and drops the column above. Standard match-three rules, ocean coat of paint.
Where it distinguishes itself is the level structure. Rather than an endless score chase, levels have specific objectives: clear a number of a particular creature, break through seaweed blocks, or drop treasure chests to the bottom. The objectives force different strategies than pure combo-chasing.
Special pieces spawn from four-or-more matches. A line of four creates a striped piece that clears a row or column when matched; an L or T shape creates a bomb that pops a 3x3 area. Combining specials triggers board-wiping chains that clear objectives in bulk.
It's a polished casual puzzle. The difficulty curve is gentle early and tightens as new obstacle types - locked tiles, current tiles that shift pieces - appear. Level completion is the progression, not high scores.
