Description

NOCTILUCA
On the warmest nights of the year, the quiet waters are filled with the glowing noctiluca. Can you catch the mysterious embers of the sea?

DIVE INTO THE DEPTHS
In the remote depths of the jungle lie the Cerulean Pools. For most of the year, the pools are tranquil and unassuming. But on the warmest nights of the year, the otherwise quiet waters are filled with shimmering lights as the dormant noctiluca awaken. As the most skilled divers in the land, you and your friends seek to retrieve these glowing creatures from the pools. Before diving into the water, you must strategically plan your path to collect the noctiluca you need.

COLLECT THE EMBERS OF THE SEA
When the noctiluca surface, the pools are filled with a rainbow glow. Only the most skilled divers can navigate the waters to collect them. Living in harmony with each other in carefully-tended jars, the colorful noctiluca can cure numerous ailments with merely their glowing presence and are desired by healers across the land. You must choose your path through the water strategically to carefully collect the right noctiluca to fill different jar arrangements to accommodate the needs of healers, who will gratefully reward your efforts.
