The category for this game could just as easily read “;time waster,”; but it's one more fun way to pass time on your iPhone.

The prospect of Sammy, the little fish in this game, being gobbled up by larger fish in the sea might be stressful for some, but I'd rank “;Fish Food Frenzy”; as a fairly relaxing game, sort of like popping bubble wrap. The music, a catchy and perky uke tune, has something to do with that, and you can always turn down the sound if it gets too annoying.

Sammy starts out tiny and can only eat fish his size. As he gobbles up those 10-point fish and 1-point sand dollars, he grows bigger. Pretty soon he's able to expand his menu to include bigger fish.

It's good to be the biggest fish in the pond, but that doesn't eliminate the danger of being done in by a shark—their presence is always announced by an ominous sound effect—or a poisonous blowfish ready to burst Sammy's bubble.

Screen size limits how big Sammy can grow, so he never gets to devour the shark.

Swallow bonus items for extra lives, to stop other fish in their tracks or for temporary immunity.

No matter how big the other fish are, they're only worth 10 points throughout the game, so it's a long way to 10,000 or 12,000 points, but if you're competitive you'll get there in no time.
