Coral Reef
Coral Reef is an underwater survival shooter built on waves that never stop tightening. Dodge, shoot, survive -- but the reef escalates on three separate clocks at once. Every wave shortens the gap between spawns, every fifth wave adds another enemy to each group, and every tenth wave gives the enemies an extra hit point, so a run that felt comfortable at wave nine is a different game at wave twenty. Jellyfish drift in a sine wave rather than a straight line, which makes leading your shots a real skill instead of a matter of aiming where they are. The three tiers change the density and pace of the reef itself: Easy spawns 40% less often at three-quarter speed, Hard spawns 30% more often at 1.4x. Free in the browser, no download and no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play Coral Reef?âž
Move your diver, dodge what the reef sends at you and shoot back. It runs in the browser on keyboard or touch.
How do the waves get harder?âž
On three clocks at once: every wave shortens the spawn gap, every fifth wave adds an enemy to each group, and every tenth wave gives enemies an extra hit point.
Why are the jellyfish so hard to hit?âž
They travel in a sine wave rather than a straight line, so you have to lead your shots to where they will be instead of where they are.
What do the Easy, Normal and Hard tiers change?âž
The density and pace of the reef. Easy spawns 40% less often at three-quarter speed, Normal is the baseline, and Hard spawns 30% more often at 1.4 times the speed.
How long can a run last?âž
There is no ending wave -- the reef keeps escalating, so a run lasts as long as you can keep up with the three rising clocks.
Is Coral Reef free?âž
Yes, free in the browser on desktop and mobile with no download and no signup.
