New Game for iOS/Android: Mara has left you to see the world. You must find a way to travel the world and find her, and bring her home.

Mara's Dreams - for iOS/Android

Mara's Dreams is a captivating new game for the iOS/Android mobile platform. This game takes you on an epic journey, as you travel around trying to find your love interest, Mara, who has left you to find herself. As you move from place to place, you discover that Mara has moved on, and gone to find a new home. In your journey, you must find new and creative ways to travel farther and faster, while surviving the obstacles you encounter. Coming this winter for iOS and with your support Android soon after. 

Watch our video above for more info!

How does it work?

The game play is pretty simple. You sit on top of your friend, the whale, who launches you into the sky.

Naturally, as a fish, you can't fly, but you attempt to do so by tapping the screen to flap your fins. Your little fishy struggles to stay afloat as long as you have energy.

While in the air there are coins, birds, bugs that replenish your energy, and other objects that can help or harm you. Over time, you can use your coins to buy upgrades, like stronger fins, whale power, and even a rocket!

As your ability to fake flying gets better you'll be able to soar above the clouds, and if your good enough, even rise into space!

Your goal is to travel as far as possible, trying to reach the city that Mara is in. When your distance to the next city reaches zero you will be in a new world. Once you've traveled the world you will be reunited with Mara.
