The levels ramp up in difficulty quickly. Initially it’s a simple bounce from A-to-B. Soon however, you’ll face spikes and pitfalls, slanted ledges and incredibly small landing zones. Thankfully, there are two additional techniques that can be used to help navigate the levels.

Firstly, you’re able to shoot a ‘ghost fish’ as an indicator of where your current angle would propel your fish. However, as your fish is round, you must be careful not to move even a millimetre after firing if you wish to ensure it’s accuracy. Secondly, your fish can rotate without any horizontal movement when pressed up against a 90 degree angle. This can allow you time you adjust your angle unhindered.

And this is really all there is to Blow & Fly. There’s a generous amount of levels and numerous hidden bonuses, including more fish to unlock.
