About the Game

The Power of Fish is a fishing-meets-detective game. You've come out this summer to visit your uncle for a fun fishing vacation. But fishing isn’t your only job here, as after you’ve caught your fish, you must release the power it holds inside it. 


Before you ascend a fish, you’ll want to ask it a few questions to find out just what it wants. After all, the lake is filled with evil and malicious fish. It wouldn’t be a good idea to unleash that kind of power… would it?

GO FISHING

Cast your line into the water! You’ll have to seek out the fish you want, while dodging the fish you don’t. Once a fish bites, you’ll have to keep them balanced on the hook, and respond to their pulls in time to keep them from escaping.

INTERROGATE 

Within each fish lays an incredible power… but what kind? With just two questions and a handbook, you’ll have to deduce its personality trait. Is it playful? Power-hungry? But most importantly... Is it good or evil?

BECOME POWERFUL

Each fish that you ascend will grant you powers. Become speedier! Become stronger! Or maybe just get the ability to glow in the dark. You’ll find all these powers and more on the way to become the ultimate angler.

With 50+ fish to find and catch, there's plenty of fish in the sea, as they say. Or the pond. Catalog them in your Fishipedia! You can even unlock and wear the colors of your favorite fish.  

LIVE WITH YOUR ACTIONS

Some fish are evil. Like, real messed up. If you accidently ascend them, it may result in dire consequences.
