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.

How to play Little Mermaid

There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in landscape. On desktop use the fullscreen button for the largest possible view; on a phone, turn the device sideways. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
