About Puffer Up!
Puffer Up! is a free one-button browser game about a little pufferfish. Hold anywhere and it puffs into a big spiky ball that floats up and bounces off sea urchins. Let go and it slims down, sinks and darts forward with a pffft of air. Only a slim fish fits through a coral gap, and only a puffed one is safe from spines.
Swim through 12 reefs, from sunny shallows to a glowing deep. Scare moray eels back into their holes, slip between jellyfish, and when Big Gus the grouper opens his mouth, puff up: he cannot swallow a spiky ball and has to spit you out. Rescue three baby puffers on every reef and lead them home.
