Nyaruru Fishy Fight

Nyaruru Fishy Fight is a Metroidvania in which Nyaruru investigates a strange event in her small town: everyone has magically grown cat ears and tails just like hers. You guide her through a complex world, fighting enemies and collecting Catcoins as she searches for the truth.

Combat and movement

Nyaruru has several attacks and movement abilities. Her fish sword lets her strike rapidly with a triple attack, slash upward to knock enemies into the air, or slash downward and bounce on a hit, resetting her double jump and dash. She can also dash forward without a wind-up, jump while maintaining speed until she lands, and use a skateboard to lower her hitbox while sneaking.

She can learn further abilities, including a quick downward dive and thrust that creates an energy wave and damages nearby enemies, even those behind her. Another ability has her flip repeatedly in the air, attacking nearby enemies and bouncing on a hit to reset her double jump and dash.

Bosses and progression

Each boss has different mechanics and calls for a different approach. You choose abilities and accessories to suit the fight and use Nyaruru's skills effectively; observing enemies and practising can help, particularly at higher difficulty.

Catcoins can be spent in the store on consumables, growth items and ability items. Cat scratchers improve Nyaruru's skill levels, cat catchers increase her maximum HP, and gemstones give her new skills. Accessories provide specific effects for boss fights and map exploration.

Items

Some items help with finding treasure or attacking enemies:

• Catcoin locator: shines when Nyaruru is near a Catcoin, making hidden treasure easier to find.
• Weight gear: lets Nyaruru squash enemies by stomping on their heads.
