Plan your next FISH session
Our independent guide breaks down FISH’s documented systems—run‑and‑gun action, weapon economy, visual humor, cooperative setups, and controller options—so you can explore each element without relying on undocumented tricks or hidden bonuses.
01 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Progression Observation
Play the first two levels, noting each firearm’s cost and damage. Record how increased firepower influences the time needed to clear enemies and any boss encounters you face.
- Observe enemy patterns early to choose safer routes.
- Practice timing jumps while maintaining fire on targets.
02 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Interaction Study
Run a level in split‑screen with a partner. Track how sharing screen space affects enemy handling and which weapon pairings feel most balanced for both players.
- Save money for higher‑damage guns if later stages feel tougher.
- Experiment with different firearms to see which matches your platforming rhythm.
03 / THE GUIDE
Art Style Comparison
Capture screenshots of background elements and character designs. Compare these visuals to other indie platformers to highlight FISH’s comedic visual identity.
- Pause briefly to notice visual jokes in the background.
- Compare the style to other indie platformers to gauge its distinctiveness.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller Comfort Test
Switch between DualShock and DualSense controllers across several stages. Note any differences in button layout comfort or haptic feedback that affect your play.
- Use split‑screen if both players have controllers for local play.
- Try Remote Play Together when a friend lacks a second controller.
05 / THE GUIDE
Leaderboard Positioning
Complete a level aiming for a high score, then view the Steam Leaderboard. Compare your ranking with friends to see whether speed or thorough enemy clearing yields better results.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep saves across multiple PCs.
- Test both DualShock and DualSense to see which feels more comfortable.
