About the Game

Features:

  • Co-op chaos: Play online with up to 8 friends. Stick together, revive each other, and face every new dimension, mission after mission.

  • Collect and show off: Bring back bizarre artifacts, display them in the manor, and unlock next rooms if your approval rating is good enough.

  • A hub full of toys: Sell artifacts, unlock machines like the shop, selling machine, and painting showers, and spend your cash on consumables or cosmetics.

  • Customize your drip: Mix colors in the painting showers and experiment until you find the perfect look.

  • Dimensions without limits: Explore procedurally generated worlds packed with dangerous creatures and wild anomalies.

     

Jump Headfirst into chaos

Fish Stick Protocol is an online co-op game for up to 8 players. Defrost and leap into unstable interdimensional portals that spit you out into wild, unpredictable worlds. Work together to survive the dangers, collect artifacts, and make it back to the portal in one piece.

Collect. Showcase. Unlock.

Your job is simple: bring back artifacts from dangerous dimensions and display your finds in the owner’s manor to earn Approval points and unlock the next rooms. Every mission brings new progress and new bragging items for your collection.

Your hub, your headquarters

Between missions, relax in the massive permanent hub where you can prep, shop, or just cause “totally serious mission-related” mischiefs.

  • Sell artifacts for cash and invest in upgrades.

  • Unlock the shop to buy consumables like the Artifact Radar or the famous Party Popper (only for the party animals among you).

  • Use the Painting Showers to mix colors and perfect your look.

  • Exchange “clout” points for cosmetics and express yourself through a unique look.

Your hub becomes more functional as you unlock machines and shelves, turning it into the beating heart of your team’s adventure.

Dimensions without limits

No two runs are ever the same: from hostile mushroom forests to surreal rainbow-colored realms, each world is packed with strange creatures and even stranger anomalies. One moment you are giant, the next you are floating, on fire, or turning into stone. If you survive the unexpected, make sure to grab something shiny on your way back to the portal.
