Halfbrick announces Fish Out Of Water
March 26th, in the year of our Lord 2013 -- Brisbane,
Australia – Over the past three years, Halfbrick has
established itself as one of the most powerful players in the
world of mobile games. Having gained over 500 million downloads
worldwide and a huge fan base always hungry for more, today
marks the announcement of the Australian studio’s newest mobile
hit – Fish Out Of Water!
A daredevil group of feisty fish are longing to soar above the
ocean and see the world from a whole new perspective! Built with
an entirely one-touch interface, players simply throw their fish
to send them flying through the clouds and skipping across the
waves. Characters include the speed demon Rocket, the massive
whale Micro and a vacant blowfish named Errol!
In each round, players have three throws, choosing the best fish
depending on their personal preference and the conditions of the
ocean. The weather changes every hour, from a glassy calm
surface to a raging thunderstorm. There’s even potential for
glaciers, geysers and a bouncing jellyfish invasion! Each fish
has their own strengths and weaknesses, so it’s all part of the
strategy getting the most out of every turn.
At the end of three throws, the Crab Crew will judge the
performance based on distance, number of skips and other unique
factors. From there, players can share their score, upload to
the daily league leaderboards and check their level progress. As
different objectives are completed, players level up and unlock
gems which can be used to activate awesome bonus powers at the
start of each game.
Halfbrick is known for its simple, satisfying and incredibly
polished games, with Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride creator
Luke Muscat and his team leading the design.
“We’re always pumped to get new games into the hands of our
fans,” said Muscat. “Fish Out Of Water has been an amazing ride
so far, keeping the simplicity of Halfbrick games intact but
introducing a vibrant personality through all of our fishy
characters. It’s a complete package and we’re almost ready to
roll!”
Fish Out Of Water is coming to iOS devices worldwide for US$0.99
with a release date to be announced shortly.
