Reverse Merperson Bug Shooter


You are a small archerfish in a small pond. Your cozy life consists of shooting flies and racing scavengers.

One day, you inexplicably grow a pair of legs. Now you can hike to the next pond over and talk to frogs! Team up with your tiny neighbors to take down the biggest baddest purplest fish!

Controls:


* WASD to move
* SPACE to speak to other creatures
* LEFT-CLICK to shoot bubbles (above water)/kick (below water)
* RIGHT-CLICK to drop beetle bombs

In the original build, there is a game-ending bug that forces you to the credits instead of allowing you to battle, so please check out the bugfix version for some sweet boss music and the full (still buggy) battle experience!

_All art, music, SFX, writing, and voiceover (!!) completed in the most sleep-deprived 72 hours of my life for Ludum Dare 56._

We also recorded a bunch of voiceover that we didn't have time to implement, so definitely check out the post-jam version that includes a playable Day 3 *and* tells the secret story of why that big fish is just so damn aggressive.

*Talk like a fish*

*Walk like a fish*

*AVOID other fish like a fish*
