You're a fish and you must eat bubbles, and that's it. However a lot of the game is just being interrupted by a turtle swimming around to steal your bubbles and it ruins the flow of the game. Also bubbles went through even after I was in line with eating it. In the end I ate 10 bubbles on skill level one and I survived and won, then I tried a higher skill and it crashed the game. Rubbish, away with you and I never want to see you again.

I really like this type-in games. Mostly because they work your imagination. Ghoti is very simple and a tad boring, but fun enough for this type of game. The random bubbles give little space for dexterity specially if you are on the opposite side, and yup, that turtle really spoils the flow of game. Still I found it amusing.

On the other hand, I learned something quite interesting, that is, the creative phonetic respelling of the word fish (ghoti), used to illustrate irregularities in English spelling and pronunciation.
That alone was worth my time.
