I Am Fish

I Am Fish is a physics-based adventure about four fish friends separated from their home in a pet shop fish tank. You guide them from different parts of Barnardshire, the smallest county in England, toward the open ocean as they try to reunite and escape.

The four fish

Each fish has its own abilities and personality. The cheerful, brave Goldfish is a natural swimmer; the kind-hearted Pufferfish can inflate into a ball and roll across land; the wild Piranha bites; and the aloof but soft-hearted Flying Fish glides through the air.

Across Barnardshire

You swim, roll, glide, chomp, flip, inflate, fly and bite your way through challenges. The county’s coastline and villages conceal hazards such as roads, rooftops, deep-fat fryers, wildlife, cantankerous locals and fragile fishbowls. Fish also need to stay in water, so finding a way to travel safely is part of the journey.

The fish hitch rides in improvised water carriers, including jars, wheeled mop buckets and pint glasses, each presenting its own navigation challenge. Fountains, swimming pools and sewers containing hazardous materials offer stretches of water before the final destination: the open ocean.

Checkpoints and controls

If a fish falls too far, runs out of air or otherwise flounders, you return to the most recent checkpoint and can try again. The controls are deliberately challenging and include an additional layer of Bossa Style controls.
