Fish Tales

Post by Pater Alf »

A very nice game about a small fish named Sunny who lives in the ocean and has to eat other fish to grow and become the biggest fish, so he can finally get to the next level. Graphics are very nice and the music is simply great.

There are several levels to be beaten and the game branches at one point, so there are two different endings to be seen. Great game for kids and all those who like non-violent entertainment.

A wonderful game with fantastic variation! It's great for kids and also great for those of us who remember when we were kids. Controls are sublime - this is one of the few games where I can say that good reactions are nice but not a must, because your character reacts instantly. Lots of levels, nicely scaled increasing difficulty, bonus stages ahoy, and levels rarely feel repetitive. Plus, save feature!

This game looks a lot like Feeding Frenzy:

Is there any info about copyright in folder? I know gametop PROBABLY WILL NOT allow anyone hosting their games, but it doesnt mean we cant host it in future.

I'm curious about this copyright icon, because the only hint on gametop's games status i have is lack of their answer to my mail. 8)

Feel free to obtain permission by Gametop.

I wrote them two mails and they didn't even answer. This and the fact that there was rumour about adware/Spyware coming with Gametop games made us use the copyright icon for this game....

Browser jacking is still rude. But the game is good.

Yes! And as long as they make such nice games (and the setup files are clean), I can live with being redirected to their homepage.

Back to topic, let's say something about the game:

Very entertaining though very relaxing. A great game for kids as well as for adults. Graphics and music are excellent and controlling with the mouse is nearly perfect.

There are lots of levels with increasing difficulty (game even branches at one point) and nice variety in gameplay, because of new features in nearly every level.

And last but not least there is even a relax mode for those who like to have an aquarium on their screen.

Indeed entertaining. I will propably return to this game from time to time as a break from chores. And the relax mode might be cool to have running when the computer is on standby (at least from me).
