Fish Out Of Water Available Now
April 18th, in the year of
our Lord 2013 -- Brisbane, Australia – Halfbrick is
back in action with today’s release of Fish Out Of Water, an
all-new game from the team that introduced Fruit Ninja and
Jetpack Joyride to the world, available exclusively on the App
Store.
The story so far - a daredevil group of feisty fish are longing
to soar above the ocean and see the world from a whole new
perspective! Built with an entirely one-touch interface, players
simply throw their fish to send them flying through the clouds
and skipping across the waves. Characters include the speed
demon Rocket, the massive whale Micro and a vacant blowfish
named Errol.
In each round, players have three throws, choosing the best fish
depending on their personal preference and the conditions of the
ocean. The weather changes every hour, from a glassy calm
surface to a raging thunderstorm. There’s even potential for
glaciers, geysers and a bouncing jellyfish invasion! Each fish
has their own strengths and weaknesses, so it’s all part of the
strategy getting the most out of every turn.
“We want to make this a vibrant, living world,” said Luke
Muscat, lead designer on Fish. “Creating a whole cast of
different characters, the dynamic weather system and social
leagues resulted in an exponential level of depth to a simple,
fun mechanic. Just the way we like it!”
Development began in October 2012, and over the past two months
Halfbrick has been applying its signature level of polish and
charm to its fish-flinging arcade game. Focusing on simplicity,
ease of play and an all-ages visual style, Fish Out Of Water
marks the beginning of an action-packed year for new Halfbrick
games.
Fish Out Of Water is available for $.99 from the App Store on
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
