A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Summary

This game is the successor of Einfisch, which was inspired by the quote "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." It is (probably wrongly) attributed to Einstein. Although "ein" (one) fish trying to climb a tree is chaotic enough - now imagine "zwei" (two) fish or even more trying to do so!

Zweifisch is a hilarious local multiplayer game where you and your friends control quirky fishies in a bunch of different levels. Get ready for some serious laughs as you challenge your friends to compete in tricky levels with controls that are as slippery as an eel.

Remarks

  • It is advised to play this game with Xbox controllers.

A very entertaining game, it takes a moment to get used to the controls but once you get into it it's really fun. also, the music is very pleasant

I like how this game is a piece of practical philosophy. You're bad at this, it's designed so that you're bad at this, but you can really spend some time reflecting on when in your life you were that fish that got judged by how well you could climb that tree.

This game is well exectued. It clearly tests the patientence of the player. While entertaining with the concept... of a fish climbing a tree.

I removed the browser version, cause it ran not that well on some devices.

Im very terrible at this. But for sure was fun to play. The browser version is a bit laggy for some reason.

For me, the browser version smoothed out after a minute or two
