🌊 NAME 🌊

fillets — a puzzle game about witty fish saving the world, sokoban style 🐟👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fillets [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options go brrr 🎀

🫧 DESCRIPTION 🫧

Fish Fillets is strictly a puzzle game, no cap. The goal in every one of the seventy levels is always the same: find a safe way out. 🚪

The fish utter witty remarks about their surroundings — like, they have opinions, and they're sharing them. The various inhabitants of their underwater realm quarrel among themselves or comment on the efforts of your fish. messy. iconic. The whole game is accompanied by quiet, comforting music 🎵✨

There is an excellent in game tutorial available, so you can start playing right away. no tutorial-skipping trauma here, we love to see it 🫶
