Fish and Stone
Fish and Stone
Fish often symbolize various concepts in literature and culture. For example, in many cultures, fish represent fertility, creativity, and transformation. The story of the fish in the tale of Jonah and the Whale, or the symbolism of fish in Christian iconography, are examples of how fish are used to convey deeper meanings.
You play as a fish, scaling rocky mountains. The goal is simple: reach the top. You don’t need to know the reason or have any motivation. Just keep going up. There’s no need to rush, but be careful not to slip and fall. If you do, you might need to try again and again. One day, when you reach the top, you might find what you’re looking for.
“There is always a choice about the way you do your work, even if there is not a choice about the work itself.”
― Stephen C. Lundin,

Good idea, that was executed well. Good job!
The game was challenging, but fun! The art was nice and I really enjoyed the voice acting.
The effort put into your page theme is wonderful, I love the quotes used. The music is very good and fits the concept very well. I think the movement options for the fish are a little too limited, and the frustrating movement is the main reason I stopped playing. The stacking was very fun.
