Tide is a free browser puzzle game where you play as the ocean current. Drag your finger or mouse to push water through a kelp forest. The kelp sways with real rope physics. Each level has different goals: shelter a sleeping otter from a passing shark by holding kelp still, free a trapped fish by sweeping the strands aside, dislodge pearls hidden in the canopy. Eight hand-crafted levels with progressive difficulty, persistent star ratings, and a shareable end-of-run summary. Play instantly in your browser — no download required. Created by Inês Reis.
