“A cozy action-adventure with attitude”

“A colorful aquatic world packed with weird fishy fun, quirky games, and lots of positive vibes”

You’re a quirky little fish who’s been unwittingly recruited by bumbling extra-terrestrials to save the planet. Yep, aliens!

Rescue your bebis, speed through puzzles, fend off dangers, jump between tide pools, make new friends, and laugh yourself silly in this wacky world packed with enemies, allies, power-ups, and pitfalls.

…and maybe, just maybe you get to save the planet.

Stretch Goal: Remote Control

Lets you control whichever creature you’ve attached yourself to, and lets you drive them around to do your bidding for a short amount of time. Imagine the things you could do with a wobbegong shark.
Calling for Help

By ramping up and jumping up out of the water, stretching back and performing a body blast you will summon help from nearby ocean friends. Well, you’ll make a lot of noise and your friends will hear. But everyone else will too. Should you make that much noise?
Eat all the things (inhale)

Lumpsuckers will eat anything, so you might as well eat stuff that makes you better at what you do. Sea anemones, Urchins, Starfish, and Sea Slugs. Sometimes stuff will land in the tidepool from above, and sometimes- just sometimes that stuff is edible
Pinging the Orb

It’s alien tech and we can’t explain how it works but you use it to help you find and protect the bebis. Also, it communicates with other fish telepathically.
Also, it can fly.
Spit Attack

Similar to Kirby’s inhale and spit, sucking up various found objects (Sea Urchins, Anemones, etc.) and launching them back at enemies. Some objects are more effective than others depending on the color, target, and tide pool.
Super-Swim Torpedo

You can swim really fast with this one. It hurts when you run into stuff though. It’s especially helpful when you need a little boost when jumping above the waterline but we didn’t tell you that.
Stretch Goal: Hitchhiker

This lets Papafishu use his tiny arm fins and suction cup when things get too choppy. Latching onto a passersby to get around quickly is where the real fun is!
Sonic Boom & Body Blast

Activate the heart-shaped suction cup to charge up and emit a series of powerful blasts, repelling and dispatching most enemies.
Go talk to the guy

Guy is the God of the Drys. He’s watched over us forever. He often makes disastrous mistakes, but he truly means well. Besides, help is help, right?
Stretch Goal: Copycat

This lets you copy enemy abilities. Like Kirby, Papafishu can copy the abilities of enemies he inhales, allowing him to transform and gain new powers. This ability sounds exactly like the remote control one but it’s not even close.
Ninja mode

You know what this is. Should I call it the Predator Armor Mode? Active camo? Dude disappears in a field because he’s got a suit made of grass. Ghillie Mode. That’s a thing right? No one’s used that before right?
Stretch Goal: Online Helper

Remember in the video game Journey when someone - a total stranger online somewhere - volunteered to accompany you for a brief time during a challenging bit of game? They couldn’t talk, except for little noises- well that’s what this is.
Stretch Goal: Babysitter

Why not spend some time playing with your kids? Life is short. Let’s call the neighbors too why not?!
Controller Mapping

This is a WIP configuration for now, and it seems to be ok but as I watch more people play it will be adjusted.
Keyboard and Mouse Controls

Dev update

December 12, 2025

Hello again, Friendos!

As the year shuffles politely toward its conclusion, the team can still be found prodding systems, coaxing code into better behavior, and generally stuffing the project with an ever-increasing quantity of fun. Progress continues at a pleasing clip, despite occasional philosophical disagreements between humans and machines.

You may have noticed the new shots above …yes, those ones. Quite handsome, we think, and only mildly smug about it. More delights are on the way soon, including a fresh video, additional gameplay clips, and possibly one or three developers bravely answering questions on camera.

Oh - and the Steam wishlist is approaching at speed. Don’t panic.

Care to help?

We’ve officially opened our “Friendos & Family” fundraising round, and you’re invited. Yes, YOU! Join our growing circle of amazing Papafishu supporters through S.A.F.E. equity participation. You get to help us make an amazing game, how cool is that?
