Glowtide

Swap neighbouring sea creatures to line up three or more. Bigger matches make currents, bubble bursts, whirlpools, seeker fish and lightning jellyfish, and specials combine into chain reactions. There are 2,010 levels across 12 places in the deep, no purchases, and it plays offline.

Ways to play

A new goal every level.

Each level has a move limit (or a clock) and a goal. New ideas arrive one at a time, with a short tip the first time you meet each one.

1

Score

Reach the target score before your moves run out. Spare moves turn into bonus Currents in the Tide Rush.

2

Glowing sand

Clear the sand under the board. Thick sand takes two hits.

3

Collect

Gather a number of one creature, from jellyfish to pearls.

4

Treasure chests

Guide chests down to the gold arrows on the seabed.

5

Kelp and rocks

Cut creatures free from kelp locks and crack rocks and boulders that block the way.

6

Sea mines

Defuse mines before their counters reach zero. Each move ticks them down, so don't leave them too long.

Why Glowtide

Make waves.

Six specials

Line up 4 for a Current, 5 for a Whirlpool, an L or T for a Bubble Burst, a square for a Seeker Fish, and 6 for a Lightning Jellyfish.

Combos

Swap two specials together for a chain reaction. Two Whirlpools clear the whole board.

Tools from the deep

Trident, Tide Swap and Current Charm boosters, earned with sea glass you collect by playing, never bought.

Fair and calm

No in-app purchases and no timers pushing you to pay. Every level can be won without boosters, and ads never interrupt a level.

Easy to read

Each of the six creatures has its own shape, not just its own colour. Reduce-motion and haptics settings included.

Phones and tablets

Made for Android phones, with a side-panel layout on tablets in portrait and landscape.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Glowtide free?

Yes. Glowtide is free to play, and ads pay for it. There are no in-app purchases: sea glass and boosters are earned by playing, or with an optional rewarded ad.

Do ads interrupt a level?

No. Ads never interrupt a level, and rewarded ads are always your choice.

What are air tanks?

Air is how many times you can fail in a row. You have up to 5 tanks, and one refills every 20 minutes. Winning never costs air.

Does it work offline?

Yes. You can play every level without internet. Ads, usage statistics and crash reports need a connection.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no account and no sign-in. Your progress is saved on your device.

Which devices are supported?

Android phones and tablets running Android 7.0 or newer.
