The controls themselves for controlling the ball are not too hard just push where you want to go and roll with it. From the start, it just lets you try and fail until you learn. But the challenge is getting there! The game itself wants the player to be a self-starter without much help. The path is pretty linear, so it isn’t hard to find where to go. The game is heavy physics-based with fun puzzle-solving and some exploration. It’s from here that the game fully starts, and little goldfish is on an adventure to see his friends and collect freaky bread, Super Monkey Ball style, in his rolling fishbowl… Are you still with me? The story continues… How did these guys get together? Also, freshwater and saltwater fish… living together? Mass hysteria! Somehow, they haven’t eaten each other yet, and this is where we first get our taste of gameplay.Īfter the small tutorial, we discover that part of our extra goals is finding lost pieces of bread around town…as a fish. A goldfish, a pufferfish, a flying fish, and a piranha whose names we are not told. The fish are going crazy for the magic bread and eat every last piece! This is where we first meet our fish folk. How bloody civil! Next, a lady comes into the bakery to buy “special bread” but is disappointed when she finds it is sold out! Who wants alive, wiggling bread? What is up with this town?Ĭut to a pet shop where our mysterious live magic bread is being crumbled into a fish tank to feed the fish. After some very British deliberation, the man has no choice but to settle for two loaves of possessed bread and is totally fine with it. The two chat back and forth and, instead of the sausage roll, the clerk offers two whole loaves of bread that are literally alive and wiggling around on the shelf! “Special Bread!” I now know it is a reference to the Bossa Studio game “I Am Bread,” but at the time, I was pretty confused. There are some Great British Bake-off levels of drama here. I’m not against it! The story literally starts with a man trying to buy a sausage roll that the baker doesn’t have. We have the hills and the iconic bridge in the distance, but everyone has a British accent and a fondness for weird baked goods. The game starts with a cutscene in a small town that looks like San Francisco.
