What is VENO Fins?

VENO Fins is a 3D fish-eat-fish survival game that runs right in your browser. You start as a tiny fish in a sunlit coral reef, and the rule is simple: eat anything smaller than you and stay away from anything bigger. Every meal makes you grow, the camera pulls back and the ocean opens up around you. Stylized low-poly fish, light rays, caustics and layered parallax give the sea real depth, while rounds stay short and easy to pick up.

How to play

Your fish follows your mouse, your finger or the WASD and arrow keys. On a phone, touch and drag (the fish swims slightly above your finger so it never hides under it) and double-tap to dash. With a mouse, hold the left button to dash; on a keyboard, press Space. A dash gives a short burst of speed to snap up prey or escape a hunter, then takes three seconds to refill. Esc or P pauses the game.

Eat, grow and chain combos

You can only eat a fish that is clearly smaller than you, and only your mouth bites, so turning your tail to a slightly larger fish keeps you safe. Prey close to your own size makes you grow fastest, and a growth bar shows how close you are to the next of six size tiers. Eat again within 1.5 seconds to build a combo: three in a row is ×2, six is ×3, ten is ×4 and fifteen reaches ×5 with a FRENZY. Getting bitten or stunned resets the chain.

Three modes, four seas

Classic mode takes you through 24 levels across four zones: a sunny coral reef, a swaying kelp forest, a dark shipwreck and the glowing abyss, each ending with a boss event. You have three lives, and each level awards one to three stars. Endless mode, unlocked after level 3, ends at the first bite and gets harder every 30 seconds. Time Attack, unlocked after level 8, gives you 90 seconds to score as much as you can.

Sea life, power-ups and hazards

Ten species each behave in their own way: silver fry swim in schools, clownfish flee, pufferfish puff up their spikes, barracudas lunge, sharks arrive with a red warning at the edge of the screen, and the orca boss can only be eaten at full size. Bubbles rising from the seabed bring power-ups: a bubble shield, magnet, freeze, giant mode, double points, a speed boost, pearls and an extra heart. Watch out for jellyfish, fishing hooks, currents, old mines and ink clouds. Stars unlock eight cosmetic skins for your fish.
