Fish Story:

In Brief:
Avoid the rubbish and collect food and crystals to survive.

You can see a video of game play HERE.

Introduction:
This story took place somewhere in the tropics. In the sky, near a large lagoon, glowing lights appeared, so bright that they became visible even under water. And then some objects began to fall from the sky...

Help the brave fish unravel the story of the lights!

The Game:
Fish Story was released two days ago and was created using the Unity engine. Survive each level by avoiding the falling trash and collecting food. When the timer on the right gets to zero you've won the level. Work thorugh successive levels to find the cave then complete the finale. In the finale you need to collect five crystal to complete the level before you run out of food or health. Each time you are hit by any trash, you lose some health. I didn't play past the finale level, so don't knwow whther it ended at the end of that level as the name of the level would suggest If it is the last level, this is a very short game tha can be easily completed in ten minutes. Each level starts with some blurb about the story.

Conclusion:
Although free today, I think the asking price for Fish Story over on Itch.io is way too much ($5); especially considering the content..

Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 56 antimalware engines.

The downloaded executable 'may' include some low level adware that only opens your browser once to Falcoware's home page after the game has installed and also places four shortcuts onto your desktop (which can be safely deleted once the game has installed).

The installation does NOT inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to Falcoware's home page following the games installation, it earns Falcoware games some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. Once you've installed the game, there are no more browser redirections. This is because Falcoware removed their installer over a year ago (that installer would show an advert for a game and then open your browser each time you played and then closed the game down.)

Installed with no problem. But tried to run and was told it wasn't compatible with my version of windows (Win7 SP1 x32). Oh well.
