Spit Shot
You are an archerfish. Spit water jets from under the pond to knock bugs off the leaves before the sun sets. The jet bends where it leaves the water, so aim above the bug. 24 ponds.

Controls
Tap- Touch the water to swim the fish there.
- Touch above the water to aim at that point and release to spit.
- The jet bends at the surface, more for flatter shots, and too flat a shot just splashes back.
- Lily pads block jets.
- Catch the number of bugs shown before the sun sets; three misses in a row scare every bug away.
About the game
Spit Shot puts you in the fins of an archerfish, the real fish that hunts by spitting water at insects above the surface. Your pond sits under a jungle tree, and beetles, flies and dragonflies land on its leaves. Swim to a good spot, aim, and knock them into the water before the sun goes down. Each pond has a quota, a sunset timer along the top, and a small streak meter: miss three times in a row and every bug on the leaves takes fright and flies off, which costs you precious daylight.
The twist is the physics the real fish has to handle. Your jet travels straight underwater but bends where it leaves the water, just like light, so aiming straight at a bug shoots under it. The flatter the angle, the bigger the bend, and past a certain angle the jet cannot leave the water at all and splashes back. Lily pads block shots from directly below, so you cannot always swim right under a bug. Early ponds show the whole bent path; later ones show only the first stretch. Flat, long shots and dragonflies score more. Stars come from accuracy.
