  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily designed for younger players, featuring simple puzzles and mechanics that lack challenge, making it easy to progress through levels. While the game offers a relaxing experience and enjoyable moments of discovery, it suffers from a lack of variety and depth, with a sudden increase in difficulty at boss levels. Overall, it combines adventure and light puzzle-solving elements, providing fun and satisfying gameplay, albeit with a short completion time and a less compelling story.

    • “Excellent puzzle mechanics with responsive controls.”
    • “The gameplay is a mixture of adventure and light puzzle solving to get through each level without dying.”
    • “Overall it's very fun and satisfying when you make the 'ah ha' moment and learn the mechanics of new obstacles and enemies.”
    • “I wish there were either some more diversity of mechanics or puzzles were at least a bit challenging.”
    • “Very dragged out for its gameplay, not a lot of variety.”
    • “But then the gameplay is... well, practically only for younger players as it's way too easy to get through the islands until you get to the boss level which raises the difficulty rather abruptly.”
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some users praising the excellent art design, vibrant color palette, and charming visuals that evoke a sense of nostalgia, while others criticize the simplistic graphics and fixed resolution as falling below standard expectations for PC games. Overall, the artwork and animation are highlighted as standout features, making the game visually appealing, especially for a younger audience.

    • “The graphic design is excellent; the person responsible for the drawings has great skill.”
    • “The characters, graphics, animation, and art are all very beautiful and well done.”
    • “It features a simply gorgeous and vibrant color palette and an art style that reminds me of Zelda: Wind Waker.”
    • “Simple graphics, fixed resolution, fixed controls; the game falls far beneath minimum standards for any PC game.”
    • “Graphics: onboard graphics card.”
    • “By now it's gotten to the point where I know that I'm going to play a game or not based on the art style.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is simple and primarily conveyed through a brief cutscene at the beginning and end, leaving players wanting more narrative depth. While it features an intriguing premise involving a girl separated from her brother due to a conflict with skyfish, the overall storytelling is considered lacking and repetitive, which may not engage players seeking a richer experience. Despite its shortcomings, the story is deemed suitable for a casual audience, particularly children, complementing the game's relaxing gameplay.

    • “It has cute graphics, some challenging (but not impossible) puzzles, and a nice story.”
    • “Story-wise, you play as a girl who gets separated from her little brother when the skyfish declares war on humanity.”
    • “The story is simple but intriguing and helps build up the world you play in.”
    • “The story is basically covered by a one-minute cutscene, which wouldn't be a problem if not for the repetitive and boring level designs.”
    • “Or more story elements; basically, it's only the opening and end sequence that have any storyline.”
    • “The game introduces some great game mechanics, but the story is not outstanding and the challenge level is low.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, blending light-hearted and adventurous tones that complement the gameplay, though it tends to be repetitive and short-looped. While some players appreciate the consistent theme, others note a desire for more variation and find the limited soundtrack can become monotonous. Options to adjust or mute the music are available, providing players with some control over their experience.

    • “The music, although mainly one song, blends light-hearted, relaxing, and adventure tones really well.”
    • “It's the kind of music that fits the mood of the gameplay so well that you won’t mind (and actually appreciate) that it's the same song throughout most of your gameplay.”
    • “The theme, graphics, music, and the sound design (sound design being the weakest of the four) is awesome.”
    • “Would like to see more variation with tilesets earlier, and while reasonable, the music became a little repetitive. Sliders were available to adjust or mute.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding in Skyfish to be more tedious than challenging, with puzzles that lack complexity. However, the game's charm and curiosity provide some motivation to push through the repetitive gameplay.

    • “Skyfish is cute but feels more tedious than hard, and the puzzles are as challenging as putting a square peg into a square hole instead of a circle.”
    • “It gives you that extra bit of curiosity and reason for grinding through the levels.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is perceived as effective and fitting with its overall aesthetics, though some may consider it simplistic or cheap.

    • “It may sound cheap to some, but I found it funny and matched the game's overall aesthetics.”
