I am fish not working xbox6/25/2023 ![]() You’ll have to find your way through all kinds of (human-made) hazards. On their way it’s not only relaxing forest streams and spacious ponds though. ![]() Our four fish play quite different from each other in this physics-based adventure which should make it as challenging as fun to reunite them back in the ocean. The team’s diversity and passion for the project made it possible to not only build the colorful game you are about to experience but also allowed us to bring in a broad variety of ideas with challenging puzzles and memorable moments! Over the course of one year we grew the team up to 34 people across all disciplines, countries and timezones. In June 2020 we assembled a small team of 6 people to kick-off pre-production for what would become “I Am Fish”. ![]() Out of curiosity they applied it to a fish model and asked themselves: Wouldn’t it be fun to navigate through the world this way from a fish’s perspective? Could we build bridges between I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator and this game to create a wider universe? A prototype and a couple of playtests with our community later we knew that we had something at hand that could be as quirky and fun as lovable! Play as each fish breaks free from their bowls and journeys back to the ocean across the daunting, chaotic world of everyday human life.Ī little less than 2 years ago, as part of a game jam, a handful of Bossians were exploring a flapping mechanic to navigate seagulls. Whilst I Am Fish may look like a piece of hake to play, actshoally the controls are deliberately designed to be challenging and with an additional layer of added Bossa Style controls, it won’t be like shooting fish in a barrel.Surfacing in 2021 from Bossa Studios, I Am Fish is the o-fish-al sequel to I Am Bread which was itself the prequel to Surgeon Simulator! Still with us? Good! I Am Fish is a physics adventure game where four sentient fish have been sold off to the far corners of Barnardshire, the smallest county in England. 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. 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. 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. 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. A simple, intuitive control scheme leaves no excuses should your fish perish leaving you feeling very gill-ty. Swim, roll, glide, chomp, flip flop, inflate, fly and bite your way through enthralling challenges. 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! Piranha - wild, chaotic, loud, unpredictable, and loves to bite - obviously. 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. 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. 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.
