Ocean Song turns the Lovely Mermaid series from Spil Games into a small action game. The setup is a fairy tale: long ago, a mermaid princess fell in love with a human prince, and to reach him she has to swim through the depths. Before the first dive you choose her tail in a shell-shaped wardrobe. Three tails are free and three more are priced in collected notes, from 25,000 up to 150,000, so there is a reason to replay. The map is a grid of twenty clam shells, each worth up to three stars. In a level you move her with the arrow keys through blue caverns lined with rock, picking up floating music-note bubbles counted at the top right. Five hearts at the top left are her health, and four key slots at the bottom left track what still has to be found.

How to play Lovely Mermaid Ocean Song
- Press Play, choose the mermaid and pick a tail; the free ones are marked Free.
- Select a shell on the level map, starting with level 1, and press Start.
- Read the story panels, then use the arrow keys to swim through the cave.
- Collect note bubbles and look for the keys shown in the slots at the bottom left.
- Avoid hazards to protect your five hearts and finish the level for up to three stars.
Tips
- Short taps of the arrow keys give finer control in narrow tunnels than holding them down.
- Notes double as money for the premium tails, so sweep side passages instead of rushing the exit.
- Replay early shells for missing stars once you know their layouts.
