FIH

...is a game about being a fish! Originally begun as an April Fools project, I expanded this into a somewhat serviceable final product. So, what are you waiting for? Go, embrace your fishy self. It's fun to be slippery... or something...

CONTROLS & TIPS

So, you're a fish now. Cool, right??? You can use the Arrow Keys to move around, E to open and close your inventory, and the rest will be explained as it happens. I wouldn't want to spoil all that fun! fun! fun!fun!fun!fun!FUNFUNF!FUNUFNUF!FUN

Does the fish feel slippery to control? Of course it does! That's the price you have to pay to be a fish. Think of it like you're piloting a plane: You gotta pull back on those controls to stop your speed. Fish are small-minded, and therefore the fish will continue moving a direction even if you're holding a completely new one! It's okay, don't panic! Either take your hands off those arrows entirely to calm the fish down, or just hold in the other direction. It's tough work having scales and fins.

OTHER NOTES

the fish is named alex. you may project any gender you wish onto the fish. it does not mind. also, all the music, pixel art, programming, was done by me! except for that one butterfly image. i just took a stock photo and indexed it into a good color palette.

also warning i guess for kind of spooky stuff near the end? idk. it's not that bad. there also might be 1 swear word depending on the ending you get so like . yeah???

Thanks for reading. Now go, be a fih. You deserve a break from the hardships of life, to experience the hardships of the ocean instead. Mind the cannons!
