Editor review
Coral Arc is an underwater arc-throw arcade where you toss shells through coral formations to collect pearls. One hundred levels across five coral-theme tiers. The format combines projectile-arc mechanics with current physics that I have not seen done well in browser games before this one.
What works is the current-aware trajectory preview. Each throw shows a faint predicted arc accounting for current direction and strength. Skilled players read the preview and adjust; unskilled players learn from failures.
One hundred levels with current-strength escalating per tier. Tier one has gentle current; tier five has strong shifting current that requires real-time aim adjustment.
Tested across maybe fifteen hours over a month. Edinburgh tram commutes plus weekend Royal Mile cafe sessions plus a few evening at-home runs. Touch drag is the natural input. Mouse-drag also works.
Where the design earns its high rating is the daily-challenge mode. Fresh coral formation every day with global leaderboard. The competitive layer extends the format well beyond the campaign.
Where I would push back is the absence of a no-current practice mode. Players who want to learn the basic throw without current variation have no option.
Four-and-a-half stars. Strong underwater arc-throw arcade with thoughtful current physics and excellent daily-challenge integration. Recommended.
