Let the fish puns commence

Following positive public feedback, Bossa Studios – creator of quirky titles such asSurgeon SimulatorandI Am Bread– has announced its intentions to develop prototype titleI Am Fishinto a full game.

I Am Fish, likeI Am Breadbefore it, is a meticulously controlled physics-based affair in which players must guide the titular trout (it’s not a trout) from its domesticated bowl back to the ocean, usingMarble Madness-style mechanics and smart, adaptive pathfinding to safely negotiate the environment. Should the bowl break, or the fish otherwise end up outta water, then the course is reset. The video below will quickly get you up to speed.

“What separatedI Am Fishfrom its companions was the passion players had for their little fish’s journey and their enthusiasm about what a full game could be,” said Bossa Studios co-founder Imre Jela of the fans’ enthusiasm. “We loved seeing all the clever tricks people used to complete the levels in ways we didn’t expect and we were swept away by all the tales of pain and joy that happened along the way.”

As Bossa is currently beavering away atSurgeon Simulator 2,I Am Fishisn’t expected to launch until sometime in 2021. But for now, the prototype can still be downloaded from the studio’sofficial website.
