🎯

Objective & Purpose

Southern Tide is an aquatic arcade simulation designed to train reaction time, timing precision, and trajectory calculation. The primary objective is to optimize your energy pool by capturing various species of aquatic fauna. Each cast requires precise planning: the rarer the specimen, the higher the score bonus to elevate your session ranking.
