Fish out of Water is a game developed by Halfbrick Studios.[1]
Gameplay
The player throws three swimmers from a selection of 6 fish (or really fish and mammals) one at a time.[2] Each fish has a unique style (such as the whale Macro best used when thrown in a high arc). After three fish are thrown a panel of 6 crabs judge the player with each crab having its own likes and dislikes[1] on a scale of 1 to 10.[3] There is also a boost bar which allows the player to increase the velocity of the fish being thrown.[2] There are also achievements to be completed.[2]
Reception
Fish out of Water got mostly mixed reviews. Gamezebo gave the game 4.5 stars praising the "great presentation", the quirky personality of the fish and judges" and that the game is "easy to pick up" while criticizing the limited replay value and the missions/objectives getting repetitive after a while.[2] IGN called the game as not having "that same finger-licking, addictive goodness found in Halfbrick's previous hits Jetpack Joyride or Fruit Ninja".[4]
