  • Summary: I Am Fish is a charming, physics-based adventure starring four intrepid fish friends, forcibly separated from their home in a pet shop fish tank. Over the course of the game you join them as they swim, fly, roll and chomp their way to the open ocean from the far-flung corners of BarnardshireI Am Fish is a charming, physics-based adventure starring four intrepid fish friends, forcibly separated from their home in a pet shop fish tank. Over the course of the game you join them as they swim, fly, roll and chomp their way to the open ocean from the far-flung corners of Barnardshire (the smallest county in England) in their bid for freedom and to re-unite once again. FINTASTIC FRIENDS
    Meet our heroes! Goldfish - cheerful, brave, and adventurous, a natural born swimmer! Pufferfish – a little slow but kind-hearted who can also puff up into a ball and roll across land. Piranha - wild, chaotic, loud, unpredictable, and loves to bite - obviously. Flying Fish – a little aloof at times but a real softy at heart, with the ability to glide through the air! These plucky heroes will leave no bowl unturned, putting their heart and shoal into the mission to re-unite!

    NO NEED TO BE A BRAIN STURGEON
    Swim, roll, glide, chomp, flip flop, inflate, fly and bite your way through enthralling challenges. A simple, intuitive control scheme leaves no excuses should your fish perish leaving you feeling very gill-ty.
    THINK OUTSIDE THE BOWL
    With its idyllic coastline and quaint villages Barnardshire might seem like a perfect slice of quintessential tranquility, but to our aquatic adventurers it’s alive with the very real threats presented by crossing roads, traversing rooftops, dodging deep fat fryers, avoiding wildlife including the cantankerous locals, not to mention fragile fishbowls and the very real problem that fish can’t breathe out of water.
    LEAVE NO FISH BEHIND
    We won’t dwell on grizzly fish death, but should your fish fall too far in whatever make-shift fishbowl it finds itself in, run out of air or generally flounder you will be popped back to the most recent checkpoint to refine your approach.
    SWIM TO FREEDOM
    Our four fin-tastic friends will be hitching rides in all manner of ad hoc water carriers including jars, mop buckets on wheels and the occasional pint glass. Cheers! Navigating in each make-shift aquatic vehicle poses its own unique challenge, but don’t worry, the relative freedom of open water is never too far away with inviting fountains, swimming pools and err, sewers full of hazardous materials to splash around in, before reaching the final goal – the shimmering, open ocean.     … Expand

    Too much fishycs HA
    I am fish is a 6 hour long physics based 3D fish platformer Here you play as 4 differen fish.. youre best buds enjoying your life in a fish tank and then bam, youre separated… so you ggo on a journey to get to the ocean in hopes that your friends are waiting for oyu there and will fin your way.. luckily that’s up to you.. the player.. as you get to play as all 4 unique fish friends.. and the unique part is as good as it is bad..
    This is a physics based game.. which is fine for 2 out of the 4 fish.. so basically half of the game I loved, half of the game annoyed me.. first you play as the gold fish, the gold fish has no special abilities, youre rolling around in a fish bowl or glass container, hopping over obstacles… this was one of my favorite chapters, just simple monkey ball meets fish bowl, but again being physics based making it much more slow… you can feel the frustration start to kick in because of how slow and meticulous things are.. but its doable and you feel a sense of satisfaction each time you make it to a new checkpoint.. then I played probably my least favorite chapter.. the flying fish.. back to the too mych fishycs line… the emphasis on lets make a phyics games can be felt here… These 3 levels in this chapter were unplayably bad.. here its more puddle jumping, hop out of the water, glide to the next puddle, of course don’t be out of the water too long or youll die like every other chapter… and.. I absolutely hate the flying controls, I hate the jumping out of the water… none of it feels good or ntuitive, it will all make you want to rip your hair out.. thankfully this game does allow you to skip to the next checkpoint in any level… and im so happy this is the case cause I abused this function so much for the flying fish.. if the whole game was the flying fish I swear this game would be a 1/10, though you don’t get out completey unscaved, you still have to do the final checkpoint at least to unlock the next level.. next I played as the pirannah, this chapter is annoying with the physics emphasis, but so much more doable and manageable… the pirana’s section is more so about finding things to bite to flood your level and move on… its more hide and seeky, eye spy puzzle solving.. my only frustration again comes with the physics.. the jumping just feels awful here, and trying to move th camera and jump and bite at the same time.. ame with the flying mechanic.. is just a nightmare and I wish they got a tad more arcadey here with the jumping and again the flying, less frustrating physics.. and finally we get my absolute favorite chapter of the game, the puffer fish… This chapter is a blast.. I want a whole game as just the puffer fish.. please give me I am puffer fish.. your ability is turning into a ball, so you can hop out of water, roll down a hill, avoid obstacles, sink down to the bottom of the water, puff up for a jump boost.. it was so fun.. and really boosted my mood after the 2 fish before it..
    Overall I am Fish has its moments of pure fun, but im not gonna lie.. the frustration overshadowed the fun.. you know theres an issue when you have to allow player to skip checkpoints.. lets have an arcade difficulty selection next time or have one patched in..
    I give I am Fish
