Ever played agar.io or a similar game before? Well.. This game offers pretty much the same thing.. Except for few twists. You can not eat other fish.. You can not grow larger. You just "collect" some insects that would grant you a point each.. For what you may ask? Well.. Probably for nothing. This is NOT a multiplayer game so you're not actually competing with anyone but yourself. There exists no leaderboard to even remotely compete.. Nothing. The controls are uniquely good but it takes a lot of time to get used to.. Perhaps a lot more than average people would actually invest into this mini game.
Eat flies, avoid big fish. That's [i]Guppy[/i]. The controls are the most interesting part of the gameplay, you use left and right to propel yourself forward as though mimicking tail motion, but it is ultimately gimmicky and frustrating. The map is randomly generated but there's no levels. Progression is through collecting flies, the more you collect the more big fish spawn, other subtle changes will also occur. The watercolour pastels are very pretty to look at.

Guppy is a poetic game, which lets you control a fish by moving its tail left and right. No other control is used; and every movement of the tail is propelling the fish in the direction of the movement. Used alternatively, left and right movements allow the fish to progress forward, or any way you so desire; by gauging how much of each movement to produce. Both the left and right sticks can be used; but the game really shines when shoulder controls are used, epecially the analog ones. I am unsure as if the game is using them in an analog fashion (I think not), but using them feels most natural to me. The premise of the game is simple: collect (eat) flies while avoiding to be eaten by the predator (the large black fishes), by escaping them and/or hiding under water lilies. While simple, the game is surprisingly challenging, demanding agility, wits and audacity to succeed. And maybe a bit of learning too; as the movement logic, while somehow surprisingly natural, is also very original and definitely unconventional. The art of the game has a raw but elegant touch. Playing with the original soundtrack; or better yet, with Debussy's Preludes, Nocturnes, or "suite Bergamasque"; fits really well. Guppy is certainly not a game in which most of us will put hundreds or thouthands of hours, but it is definitely worth a buy and a try at its full price, if nothing but for its refreshing gameplay and originality.
The controls of this game are some worse i ever played ! spamming the right and left arrows to move nad yet the fish still doesn't move in the way you want ...+ is a boring game just swim around eat and don't get eaten ! so in one word booooorrrriiinnggg !!
Ок, игра действительно небольшая и геймплея тут не настолько много, чтобы нельзя было написать впечатления по результатам получаса игры. Перефразируя присказку инженеров, лучший дизайн - это невидимый дизайн. Вот эта игра - как раз такой случай. Меню и выполнено крайне минималистично, а других элементов интерфейса тут попросту нет. Управление на двух кнопках/двух тычках контроллера. Графика ненавязчивая, на сближенных тонах. Приятная, но также абсолютно ненавязчивая музыка. И, что самое главное, все хорошо сочетается и поддерживает друг друга. + Графика, минималистично и красиво, особенно если вы любите акварель + Музыка в тему + Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, эта игра - вызов вашей координации. На первых порах подбирать мух и то затруднительно, а уж уворачиваться от хищников и подавно. Хорошо, что хищные рыбы хотя бы не ведут себя как гончие в Неголодайке - те преследуют тебя неотвязно, а вот тутошние хищники вполне могут потерять тебя из виду + Есть режим без хищников, где вы можете просто плавать и релаксировать - Хотелось бы видеть хоть немного больше какого-то, я не знаю, геймплея. Например, пускай бы воздух, который там присутствует в виде пузырьков, тоже надо было собирать, иначе появляется убывающая шкала дыхания, и если задохнешься, игра закончится. Гуппи зависят от воздуха, который собирают с поверхности воды, так что в этом была бы своя логика. Ну или разнообразить немного игру каким-то другим способом. По сути, больше никаких нареканий у меня нет. Игра создает приятное чувство расслабленности, приятно выглядит и приятно звучит, а ее ценник приятно соответствует степени получаемого удовольствия.
魚兒魚兒水中游 游來游去樂悠悠 倦了臥水草 餓了覓小蟲 樂悠悠 樂悠悠 水裡世界真自由 魚兒魚兒水中游 看見前面一線鉤 鉤上食味美 看得唾延流 小魚兒 別上鉤 貪圖享受失自由 還可以,只是控制上有點難,是靠的左右2個按鈕前進,沒有其他按鈕。 沒有故事內容,控制魚兒吃小蟲,吃越多分數越多,要小心大魚把你吃掉。 因為控制上有點難,個人感覺不算是休閒。
열대어의 꽃 구피를 소재로 한 캐주얼 게임 . 본인은 10년 넘게 구피를 키워와서 이 물고기에 대한 애정이 각별한데 게임 리스트를 검토하던 도중 우연히 발견하게되어 주저하지않고 구매버튼을 눌렀다. 연못에 랜덤으로 생성되는 작은 먹이를 먹어 점수를 획득하고 검은색 포식자 물고기들의 공격을 피해다니는 매우 단순한 게임인데 왼쪽 오른쪽 화살표 버튼만으로 방향과 스피드 모두를 컨트롤해야하기때문에 익숙하지않으면 잡아먹히기 십상이다. 설정에서 포식자 물고기를 없애고나면 마치 스케치북에 그려진 한폭의 수채화를 보는듯한 느낌의 연못에 자유롭게 노니는 구피들을 감상하며 여유로움을 만끽할수있다. 게임성을 희생해서 미적 요소를 부각시킨 게임이니 구매시 신중한 선택이 요구된다. 6 / 10
Guppy的水彩美术简练淡雅,动态的游鱼亦十分灵动。但尽管表面颇具意境,实际上手却相当痛苦,靠交替左右摆尾前进的操作设计对玩家而言非常反人类。游戏只有单一的模式:吃到飞虫计分数,被大鱼吃掉则一命呜呼。操纵游鱼已是极辛苦不易,一旦被大鱼吃掉就立即结束又会使玩家产生极大的挫败感。这是一款内容单薄的实验性作品,偶然一瞥会觉得很美,但也仅限于此。 [url=https://steamcn.com/t359698-1-1] 带图评测 [/url]
A minimalistic game where you control a guppy to eat flies without becoming a bigger fishes dinner. Control the fish by alternating left and right to move the tail, more of a challenge than you think! https://youtu.be/AJBRrmGifhY
Just as described, it's a cute hand drawn game about being a guppy fish. Eat flies to increase your score and just chillax. I found it to be entertaining because while it is relaxing, the control scheme does provide just enough challenge to keep your attention. That said its not a long game. What you see is what you get. https://youtu.be/iMSc-VHHUfM
