Feels absolutely awful to play, and that's by design. If you like QWOP or Getting Over It, this may be your jam.

I went in more expecting this to be like a 3d ECCO the dolphin about utilizing different objects like glass orbs full of water and precariously placed water containers to escape to the ocean. Instead it was more about awkwardly moving a glass orb by moving a fish inside it to push the orb in the most sluggish possible manner, and since the orb can break it's essentially tedium the game especially since going too fast makes your fish spin with the orb.

Albeit, checking now it seems it's my own fault for not noticing that the game was by the same devs as surgeon sim so maybe it should have been expected the game would feel bad to control as part of what this game is? It's still disappointing when they show what look like genuinely interesting puzzles involving navigating dance floors with a bucket you need to find, having to turn levers or figure out where you can roll on land as a pufferfish. It seems like there's a great deal of imagination with the different approaches one could take to navigating the world as a fish, it's just unfortunate that when the controls actively fight you before being layered in a double physics system of stimulated water and rolling orbs that it's not enjoyable as a cute simple unique puzzle platformer and instead is a rage game which isn't something up my avenue in particular and not something up most peoples. Because of this I can't recommend the game, and if I were to judge it by the merits of the appeal for rage games I don't feel I know the genre well enough to say what I even could recommend about the game.

And hey if you're like me and just wanted to control a non traditional humanoid character and instead wanted to try playing as something not really done like a fish I could recommend snake pass! I have a soft spot for that game as being nearly exactly that.

I was bread but now i am so much more
