Penguin Lagoon: Fish Sort Game

Pour fish from pail to pail until every color is sorted. 999 checked levels, seals who pour for you, a penguin who naps through it all, no ads.

A cozy fish sort puzzle in a glacier lagoon, played like water sort, with penguins, seals and no ads. Tap a pail and a seal pops up under it to lift it. Tap another pail and the fish on top pour across, if the colors match or the pail is empty. Get every color into a pail of its own.

That is the whole rule. What grows is the board: more colors, fewer spare pails, frozen fish you cannot see until they surface, a small pail that holds three, frozen lids that crack after a few pours, the rainbow fish that goes with anything, a fish out of water to save before its bubble runs out, a market fish that goes in last, a big vat that takes one color only, and two fish that become one when they meet. Every few levels something new turns up, and the first fifty are the introduction.

999 LEVELS Every level is dealt at the desk and checked before it ships: solvable, with room to think. Pour yourself into a dead end and the game says so, and three undos a level let you step back. Every level has a par, the fewest pours it needs: sort it within two pours of par for three stars, a little past that for two, and any finish is one.

THE SEALS AND THE PENGUINS The seals do the pouring: one pops up under the pail to lift it and nudges it across, and the fish slide out one by one. The seal on the shore takes fish from your bucket: every fish fills its ring, and a full ring earns you a hint. The penguins? One naps beside the board and wakes to cheer every pail you finish.

THE LAGOON Between levels the penguins rest on the ice. Drag them about, throw them fish, tap a seal, throw a snowball. Now and then one slides off the ice on its belly. Nobody minds.

THE LAGOON SHOP Clearing a level for the first time pays coins. Spend them on scarves and beanies for the penguins, things for the lagoon, extra fish, a Big Appetite for the seal, or a life.

LIVES You start with twenty. Every try costs one: one to start a level, one to try again. Win the level and you get it back, so you can keep playing as long as you keep winning. One also comes back every thirty minutes, up to twenty, even while the game is closed. One small purchase makes them unlimited.

NO ADS The first fifty levels are free. The rest of the game is one purchase, once, for good. No ads, no subscriptions, no account.
