VECTACORAL
Predators dive the reef down five lanes. Spend plankton to plant polyps in their path — FANS farm, SPINES shoot, BARRIERS hold, STINGERS burn, BLOOM wipes a lane. Every 40s THE TIDE surges: soft polyps wash away, only CALCIFIED coral survives. A strip at the wall rides a soft window, then burns 3 lives.
TAP A SEED then TAP A TILE to plant  ·  TAP A POLYP to calcify it
SHOVEL prises a polyp back out — the space returns, the plankton does not; calcified coral is the tide's
Every wave is named and telegraphed — the chevrons show the lane before it lands.
Hold a wave clean for ★★★, then take one of three growths in the breather.

How to play VECTACORAL

plant polyps, calcify before the tide strips them, hold the lanes

Goal: Hold five lanes of reef against the predators. The next wave's lanes are shown before it lands, so every breach is a read you missed — and unspent plankton pays a dividend, so hoarding is a real line.

Controls: Tap a seed, tap the reef to plant, tap a polyp again to calcify. Tap SHOVEL then a polyp to prise it back out — the space returns, the plankton does not, and calcified coral belongs to the tide. Pick one of three growths between waves.
