Plan your next I Am Fish session
Our independent guide breaks I Am Fish into five core areas—character profiles, movement options, checkpoint strategy, vehicle use and platform settings. By examining each element, you can make informed choices that align with the quirky obstacles of Barnardshire and the game’s physics‑based design.
01 / THE GUIDE
Character Profile Review
Play a short segment with each fish. Note which obstacles each handles best, then plan your route so the fish’s unique ability aligns with the terrain you face.
- Observe each fish’s unique ability before tackling a new obstacle.
- Match the fish’s personality cue to the type of challenge you expect.
02 / THE GUIDE
Movement Mastery
Practice swimming, rolling, gliding and inflating without timed pressure. Consistent practice reduces errors when hazards appear later in a level.
- Use rolling when water is unavailable on land sections.
- Glide to cross gaps that are too wide for swimming.
03 / THE GUIDE
Checkpoint Mapping
Mark checkpoint locations on a simple sketch of a level. Use this map to decide where to attempt high‑risk actions versus safer alternatives.
- Note where checkpoints appear before attempting risky jumps.
- Use a checkpoint to test an alternative route without losing progress.
04 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Trial
Board each water carrier in a low‑stakes area. Observe speed and handling, then select the carrier that best matches the upcoming terrain.
- Watch a carrier’s movement before boarding to anticipate its path.
- Select a vehicle that matches the terrain you need to cross.
05 / THE GUIDE
Settings Tuning
Toggle Camera Comfort and adjust Difficulty, then replay a challenging segment to see how the changes affect your performance and comfort.
- Enable Camera Comfort if motion makes you uneasy.
- Set Difficulty to a level that matches your skill for smoother progression.
