Description official description

The ocean sunfish, also known by its scientific name Mola mola, is large, strange-looking, and apparently horrible at survival. The goal of this game is to raise the world's largest Mola mola, but this is easier said than done. Activities such as feeding and exploring, integral to the goal of growing the fish, are fraught with peril. The player's charge can choke on its food, wash up on a beach, crash into rocks, or eat human garbage, just to name a few of the many ways it can die. However, each successive generation becomes a bit hardier and gains access to newer and better ways to gain body mass. In-game events run on a timed energy system, limiting the amount of actions the player can take in a given amount of time; however, microtransactions can be made to bypass wait times.
