    "provider": "InOut Games",
    "game_kind": "Step-by-step crash / 'road' multiplier game (NOT a reel slot). No reels, no paylines, no symbol paytable. Belongs to the same underlying InOut mechanic family as 'Chicken Road' / 'Rabbit Road' / 'Stairs', re-skinned with an underwater theme.",
    "theme": "Underwater ocean scene. The player controls an orange-and-white clownfish that advances lane by lane along a horizontal row of dashed vertical lines ('steps'/'lanes'), each printed with a growing payout multiplier. Every lane also shows a different fish (visual reskin of a generic 'step marker'); reaching a lane means the hero fish 'eats' that lane's fish and banks its multiplier. Being caught by a predator ends the round with no payout.",
    "art_style": "Flat 2D vector cartoon illustration with thick dark outlines around every character; smooth flat cel-shaded fills with soft rounded highlights on the fish bodies (no photorealistic or 3D lighting). Bright, saturated cyan-to-blue vertical gradient underwater background (lighter near the top, deeper blue toward the bottom), with flat silhouette rock/seaweed shapes layered behind the lanes for depth. Side-view underwater diorama (not top-down, not isometric). Bright, even 'daytime underwater' lighting, no shadows, no neon or cinematic effects. UI is dark semi-transparent rounded rectangular panels with flat-colored buttons (green PLAY/GO, gold/yellow active CASHOUT, grey/desaturated disabled controls). Overall mood: cheerful, casual, mobile-game-friendly despite the 'predator eats prey' core loop.",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) built from the desktop (1280x800) screenshots in this slot folder plus zoomed crops and OCR/manifest ground truth.",
    "method_notes": "All numeric claims below were either read directly off a screenshot (checked with the Read tool, not inferred) or copied verbatim from the verified table/limits supplied for this slot. Frame-level notes in manifest.json were treated as hints only; every listed shot referenced in 'screens' below was opened and inspected as pixels before being described. Two independent numeric confirmations of the payout formula exist (win_screen.png and info_bet_history.png).",

  "core_loop": {
    "summary": "Player sets a bet and picks one of four difficulty levels, then presses PLAY to start a round. During the round, pressing 'GO' advances the hero clownfish one lane forward. Each lane carries a printed multiplier that is higher than the previous lane's. If the fish safely reaches a lane, that lane's multiplier becomes available to cash out (bet x current multiplier). The player may press CASHOUT at any point after at least one successful step to bank the current winnings and end the round. If, instead of a safe lane, the fish encounters a predator fish on the next step, the round ends immediately with a total loss of the bet for that round (no partial payout).",
    "difficulty_selector": "A 'DIFFICULTY' dropdown in the bottom bar (values seen: EASY, MEDIUM, HARD, VERY HARD) sets both the total number of lanes/steps for the round and the risk/chance of being eaten at each step; it is disabled (greyed out) while a round is in progress.",

      "difficulty": "Second panel, 'DIFFICULTY' label above the selected level name, with small up/down chevron arrows on the right to cycle levels.",
      "cashout_button": "Center panel, normally shows dim grey text 'CASHOUT' (disabled, no round in progress / no safe step taken yet). Once at least one step has been banked it turns solid gold/yellow, shows the cash amount in white bold (e.g. '3.33 $') and the multiplier in smaller white text below (e.g. 'X1.11'); pressing it ends the round and pays out.",
      "bet": "Panel labelled 'BET' with a coin glyph and the stake amount, plus small up/down chevrons to change it.",
      "free_spin_progress_bar": "Centered above the bottom bar, a horizontal capsule-shaped progress bar labelled 'FREE SPIN' in bold gold text; fills gradually as rounds are played and, when full, is replaced by a 'FREE BETS' credit (see bet_bar_free_bets feature).",
      "go_play_button": "Large circular button bottom-right. Before a round starts it shows a white right-pointing triangle ('play') on solid green; once the round has begun it shows the white text 'GO' on the same green circle and is pressed repeatedly to advance one lane at a time.",
      "reload_icon": "Small circular 'refresh/reload' icon (two curved arrows) immediately to the right of the GO/play button; likely a new-round / reset shortcut.",
      "hamburger_menu": "Top-right corner, a circular dark button with three horizontal white lines; opens the settings/menu panel. When the menu panel is open this icon is replaced by a white 'X' close button in the same position.",

    "multiplier_text": "White bold numerals with a thin dark outline for un-reached lanes; the CURRENT/just-banked lane's multiplier is highlighted in gold/yellow instead of white (seen on win_screen.png and the free-bet frames, e.g. '1.63x' in gold vs '2.80x' in white).",
    "hero_fish": "Orange body with white vertical stripes and black outlines (classic clownfish colouring) - constant across all screens and all difficulty levels.",
    "jackpot_chest_widget": "Grey/silver metal treasure chest with a gold trim glow around it, gold-outlined text 'x500 JACKPOT' above it in yellow/gold letters with a dark outline; a light-purple/pink round pearl icon and yellow counter text ('0/60' etc.) sit just below the chest in a dark rounded panel.",

    "colorblind_note": "Lane risk/danger is NOT conveyed by color alone: each lane also shows a DIFFERENT FISH SPECIES/SHAPE (a small calm-looking fish for early, low-risk-looking lanes vs a spiky, wide-mouthed, sharp-toothed fish shape for later, high-multiplier lanes) plus the printed multiplier number, so a colorblind or low-vision player can judge relative risk/reward from shape and text even without perceiving the color shift from blue background to red/purple fish accents."

This looks like the same underlying probability engine reused across InOut's 'road' games with a fish reskin, but the exact cause of the 0.01 offset (genuine separate tuning vs. a rounding difference between builds) could not be determined from screenshots alone and is left open.",

Autoplay (with selectable cashout-step presets from 1 up to 15, and autospin counts from 10 up to 200) lets a motor-impaired player pre-configure an entire session without per-step input. A keyboard shortcut exists: settings toggle '«Space» to spin & go' (captured ON), implying Space bar can substitute for clicking GO/Play.",
    "color_blind": "Primary risk/state cues are duplicated in non-color channels: CASHOUT active/disabled state is conveyed by fill style AND presence/absence of text; toggle switches use knob position as well as color; win vs loss in bet history is conveyed by numeric text (x0/dash vs a positive multiplier and dollar figure), not by row shading; each lane's relative danger is reinforced by a distinct fish silhouette/tooth/expression design in addition to color saturation shifting from calm blues/greens toward alarmed reds/purples/magentas at higher-risk lanes.",

    "The DIFFICULTY dropdown labels the hardest level 'VERY HARD', while the in-game 'How to play?' rules booklet calls the identical level (same 15 steps, same multiplier ladder) 'Hardcore'. Names differ; underlying numbers are identical.",
    "The demo balance was observed to drift by small amounts between some frames without any action being taken in between - consistent with background session/network activity rather than a documented game feature.",
    "The pearl counter for Jackpot Shells was seen to visually reset to 0/60 after changing BET or DIFFICULTY, then resumed accumulating normally on subsequent rounds - this looks like a client-side display quirk on settings changes rather than a genuine loss of collected pearls, but this could not be verified with certainty from screenshots alone.",
    "After long unbroken sequences of successful steps, the GO button was sometimes seen remaining active with no distinct idle/end screen, and the multiplier ladder appeared to reset to its starting values - consistent with an automatic round restart at the end of a completed road, but no distinct 'end of road' or Big Chest screen could be isolated (see big_chest_honest_gap).",
