About Little Mermaid
Little Mermaid Endless Runner, you play as the Little Mermaid, as she swims through the ocean collecting pearls. You must avoid obstacles such as rocks, jellyfish, and sharks, and collect as many pearls as possible. The longer you swim, the faster the ocean currents become, making it more difficult to avoid obstacles.
