Github Actions fish-scene

Introduction

Fish Fight is a tactical 2D shooter, played by up to 4 players online or on a shared screen. Aim either left or right; the rest is up to clever movement and positioning in this fish-on-fish brawler! For more information about our origin story (Duck Game et.al.) and big-picture plans, see our design document.

Key Features (WIP)

  • 2 to 4 players in either Local Multiplayer or Online Play
  • Easy to pick up, emphasizing strategy over twitch reaction
  • Customize characters with hats, saved to your cross-platform profile
  • Create & explore user-made weapons, levels, audio and other scripted extensions
  • Smart level creation tools
  • Tournaments & matchmaking built in
