Fish Game

Fish Game is a tactical 2D shooter, played by up to 4 players online or on a shared screen (WIP). Aim either left or right; the rest is up to clever movement and positioning in this fish-on-fish brawler!

• WASD/Arrows are for walking and jumping,
• Space is for jumping
• F is for attacking,
• Y and U are for surrender

Technical Details

• Status: First Playable (pre-alpha)
• Game engine: Macroquad (Rust)
• Multiplayer backend: Nakama (Go)
• GitHub: https://github.com/heroiclabs/fishgame-macroquad

The game is fully open source, produced as a showcase game for Heroic Labs, the makers of Nakama. It will be continually developed for the purpose of demonstrating  Nakama (and Macroquad) in a live production environment.

Learning & Modding

We've written an extensive tutorial on Making a multiplayer game in Rust with Nakama, which details from beginning to end how exactly this game was made.

Furthermore, Fish Game aspires to be highly moddable. By building a scripting system based on WebAssembly, we aim to eventually support any WASM-friendly programming language. For our proof-of-concept, we'll be starting with TypeScript (AssemblyScript). More details will follow in the coming weeks.
