Fish Out Of Water!
Launch a daredevil group of fishy friends to the sky in Fish Out Of Water, an adventure across the sun, sand and surf!
Project Overview
Fish Out Of Water is the story of six feisty fish longing to soar above the ocean. To help them get airborne, players simply throw their fish of choice out of the water and watch as it flies through the clouds and skips merrily along the waves. Players must battle the elements and choose each throw wisely as the weather changes every few minutes. Expect the unexpected with tsunamis, icebergs and even jellyfish swarms.
The judging ‘Crab Crew’ will score a player’s overall performance after three throws. Compete in daily competitions with friends or a huge variety of individual challenges. Join a seaworthy search for the perfect 10!
