How to Play Tiny Fish Factory:
- Once the game fully loads, click the 'Play' button.
- On the 'Select Level' screen, green fish icons represent unlocked levels, and orange fish icons represent locked levels.
- Click on one of the green fish icons to select your level of play. (If this is your first time playing Tiny Fish Factory only Level 1 will be unlocked. If you have previously played the game, then more than one level may be unlocked, depending on how far you have progressed in the game on previous occasions).
- You are given 5 minutes to complete each level.
- The clock is located at the upper left corner of the game screen. It tells you how much time you have remaining to complete a level.
- Click on two adajcent game pieces (that is, the colored fish pieces) to attempt to swap their positons.
- The two pieces you attempt to swap must be right next to each other either horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally.
- The two pieces will only swap positions if the resulting move makes a match of at least 3 or more like-colored fish in a row, either horizontally or vertically. (Diagonal matches do not count in Match 3 play).
- If the two pieces you are attempting to swap do not result in a match of at least 3 or more in a row, no harm is done. You will simply have to try again.
- If you have not made a match in a while, Tiny Fish Factory will suggest a move for you by using a sparkling effect on two pieces that may be swapped. Remember, this is merely a suggestion. You may use it, or not. You may also find a better move all on your own.
- When absolutely no more matches are available on the entire game board, click the 'Shuffle' button and Tiny Fish Factory will shuffle the game pieces and reset the board for you. Then, just keep playing as usual. (Please Note: The 'Shuffle' button will only appear on the game screen when there are no more matches available on the entire game board. It will pop up just above the 'Exit' button at the lower left corner. Watch for this!)
- As you make matches, watch the background of the game board. Notice that each time you make a match of any previously unmatched game square that its background will turn to blue.
- The idea is to turn the entire board blue before time runs out. If you do, you go on to the next level of play.
- You will earn bonus points for finishing a level quickly.
- Should you run out of time before you are able to turn the entire game board blue... it is game over!
- The game will allow you to submit your game score only, I believe, after you complete Level 12.

Tiny Fish Factory Game Options:
- The game music may be turned soft or loud by clicking the musical note icon located at the left, just below the Level indicator button. (It has been my personal experience that this control will not turn off the music completely. It will only adjust the music volume. If you wish to get rid of the music entirely, you will probably need to turn the volume to zero on your computer).
- The game sounds, which are minimal, may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located at the left, also just below the Level indicator button.
Tiny Fish Factory Playing Tips:
- Tiny Fish Factory does not have a Pause button. So, if you should get distracted and have to leave your computer, there is no way to stop the clock. So just be reasonably certain when you begin a level, that you will have the 5 minutes that you will need to complete it.
- If you are an experienced Match 3 player you already know how to manipulate a Match 3 game board. The idea is to make matches that force specific game pieces to fall exactly where you need them to be for your next match. You do this by making smart matches below the pieces you are trying to move. This simply takes experience, and is not hard to do once you gain the required gaming experience.
- Remember, the idea is to turn all game squares to blue before time runs out. Tiny Fish Factory will help you track your results. Notice on the left side of the game screen that there is the word 'OPENED'. Immediately below that word you will see two numbers with a forward slash between them. For instance, on Level 1 as you begin play you would see 0/56. This means that there are 56 squares to turn blue in Level 1. And since you are just starting Level 1, the other number of zero indicates that you have not yet turned any game squares blue. Besides watching the game board itself, also pay attention to the two numbers below 'OPENED'. Getting back to our example of Level 1, if you see, for instance, the numbers 55/56, you know that you still have one square to go before you can complete the level. So, just look around the board until you spot the remaining square that still needs to be turned blue.
- Beginning on Level 4, you will see some game squares with a candy cane like background. They look sort of orange with white stripes. These squares behave a little bit differently than regular squares. They can be turned blue if you are able to bring at least two other like-colored fish to them, but they cannot be moved until you do.
Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.
Comments: Tiny Fish Factory is challenging enough to give even an experienced Match 3 player quite a bit of fun. If you are brand new to Match 3 play, you may have trouble making it even through the first level. However, as you gain experience, the game will start to become easier and easier.
