Classic gameplay in more modern flavor, simple, relaxing, not bad.
If you've ever played Qix or Volfied, you'll feel right at home with Lightfish — it's a clean, polished take on the classic formula of cutting up a map while dodging enemies, dressed up in a slick aquatic aesthetic with a solid soundtrack. The campaign runs about two to three hours and introduces new enemy types and hazards at a decent pace, though the scoring system pushes you to rush rather than play strategically, which can feel at odds with the risk-reward gameplay the genre does best. The lack of a quick level restart shortcut is genuinely annoying, and the game does show its console port roots with hard-coded controller prompts, but the core gameplay is responsive and satisfying enough to paper over those rough edges. If you're a fan of the genre, it's worth picking up on sale — just don't expect it to top Fortix 2.

マップを囲い込んで切り取る系ゲーム 全マップ共通で75%を囲めばクリア キーボード、パッド対応。パッドだと細かい動きができず自爆することも 効果音は小気味いいが、fast crabの理不尽ポップはやめてほしい 5エリア*9マップのすべてで星3を取るのはなかなか大変だが、すぐにリトライできるのでがんばりましょう タイムトライアルはアドヴェンチャーモードでマップと敵を把握後に トライしたほうがいいかも 操作が簡単、短時間でサクッと遊べる楽しいゲームでした
I've played games like this, like the Fortix series, but not quite sure what the genre is called. In this game you are a fish and you must start from the perimeter and slowly make boxes without touching any of the sea life and eventually box up enough of the level that you can claim it yours and end the level. The sea life gets more difficult and more random on how it moves. Some move in the same direction constantly and bounce off walls as you would expect them too, like playing pool, but others swim around with varying paths. It definitely gets more difficult as the levels progress, but still very casual. The levels change up and add more difficulty such as ice blocks that slow you down and fire blocks that kill you when you touch them. Again, it never gets too difficult, and obtaining all achievements is really not that difficult if you just put in a bit of effort. I'm not really recommending this game as it's not a great game, but still fun if you choose to sit and chill for some time with it. Mostly my thumbs up is for the devs for putting together a solid game that works well, plays well, and keeps you entertained for a few hours.

A great drug to satisfy your Qix fix. Playing both modes on normal difficulty should probably get you a couple hours of entertainment, and then doing it all over again on hard should get you a few more. I first played the game as an Xbox Live Indie game years ago and recently bought it again here on steam. I've come back to it a few times now over the years and it's always some good fun for a few hours.
Love this game! It's basically an updated version of the old arcade game Qix. Beautiful music, works perfect on Steam Deck. Highly recommended.
É um jogo estilo arcade bem viciante, tem meio que uma pegada nostálgica com uma boa gameplay. Boa quantidade de fases e bem divertido para fazer o 100% das conquistas!

You are an edge runner. You box off the enemies. I've played far more than 3 hours of this offline.
