Tactical 2D shooter in fishy pixels style. Made with Rust-lang and Macroquad 🦀🌶

Fish Fight

Introduction

Fish Fight is a tactical 2D shooter, played by up to 4 players online or on a shared screen. Aim either left or right; the rest is up to clever movement and positioning in this fish-on-fish brawler! For more information about our origin story (Duck Game et.al.) and big-picture plans, see our design document.

Key Features (WIP)

• 2 to 4 players in either Local Multiplayer or Online Play
• Easy to pick up, emphasizing strategy over twitch reaction
• Customize characters with hats, saved to your cross-platform profile
• Create & explore user-made weapons, levels, audio and other scripted extensions
• Smart level creation tools
• Tournaments & matchmaking built in
