Nyaruru Fishy Fight

“Finally, I'd like to talk about the music. I was not expecting such an outstanding soundtrack; at times, it even managed to be haunting, especially in some of the areas and fights you get to. Whoever did the music really deserves a lot of praise and attention for such a great job.”

“And last but not least, the OST in this game is straight up just amazing, pretty much carries the entire game.”

“The progression from cute, funny and even goofy music to very serious high orchestra-like music the further you get into the game is a great detail that fits the lore and story well.”

“Nyaruru Fishy Fight is a very fun game with a lot of difficult boss battles, unique enemies and designs, interesting areas and mechanics, multiple ways to travel, and stellar music on top. It offers a ride you may fall in love with depending on your taste in story.”

“The gameplay starts with a basic three-hit combo, dash, and up/down attacks. As you progress, you unlock moves that enhance combat and traversal or help find secrets. Being a metroidvania, it has plenty of items and currency to collect and buy crazy accessories.”

“Each boss encounter presents unique mechanics and patterns, requiring adaptability and skill. The game introduces interesting and cleverly designed gameplay elements, such as character and enemy bounding boxes affecting combat and exploration, adding a strategic layer to the experience.”

“The pixels are absolutely adorable, I'm so in love with the characters and art styles, and the whole concept is just perfect!”

“- Excellent music and sound, pleasant art-style and animation, beautiful sprites and overall wholesome, cutesy aesthetic.”

“The art style is vibrant, colorful, and brimming with adorable character designs.”

“The different levels you explore are very distinct both aesthetically and mechanically, and the game has a great sense of humor with some funny secrets.”

“As with the previous game, the English translation is hilariously bad and can make or break the game, but since this game isn't super story focused, it's not as big of an issue.”

“Nyaruru every day — so cute and funny!”

“Needless to say, it's totally worth the price, and the cute character design makes the mood feel light despite the heavy background story, and you will find yourself exploring every single location of the map just to have it filled out.”

“Upgrading Nyaruru's skills with cat scratchers and increasing her maximum HP with cat catchers provide a sense of character development and progression.”

“The art style is vibrant, colorful, and brimming with adorable character designs.”

“I couldn't have expected the ridiculous variety of bops: from whimsical, to epic, to emotional.”

“The story surpassed my initial expectations and ended up resonating emotionally with me, so now I'm super interested in the game this is a sequel to.”

“Some all time bangers are Lianne, Nyakori P1/P2, Theia, Projection and Lily's Destiny (these are names that occur in the story but aren't spoilers) and there are more quite emotional soundtracks which I really like that take place in some of the endings.”

“Differing overworlds, backgrounds, and effects that add atmosphere and soul to the game.”

“The atmosphere changes noticeably towards the end of the game, but the shift fits the area well.”

“There's some disturbing imagery and a creepy vibe sometimes, which contrast with the very fun, lighthearted atmosphere and the cute interactions between the main characters.”

“The game isn't too long for a casual playthrough (13 hours for me on normal, though I haven't sought out 100% yet). The extra difficulty levels add a lot of replayability if you want to master the harder bosses, emphasized by the post-game adding boss and difficulty selection as well as best record trackers for each.”
