What is Sly perch
Dive into a maze of coral and current where every turn could be your last. Guide the perch to safety, grab every shiny trinket, and outwit the ocean's hungriest hunters.

Tips for Playing
- Pause for a moment to watch predator movement patterns before diving in.
- Prioritize grabbing treasures along the outer edges first, where threats are sparser.
- Use tight corners to shake off a shark that's locked onto your tail.
- Save a quick burst of speed for the moment you spot a gap between jellyfish tentacles.
- Memorize the location of the exit so you can make a straight dash when the last treasure is collected.
