Lightfish Demo

LightFish is an arcade game in which the player controls a small fish in the depths of the ocean, doing everything that he needs to survive.

Interestingly enough, LightFish is a game that resides in a genre that has no name. Not many games have been released under this batter, but they have been around for many years, since the days when real arcade games needed special venues.

In these type of games, players control some kind of character and they have to cut out portions of the map until they pass a certain percentage. This is easier said than done since they are usually some enemies that are going to try to stop you. There are a few games in this genre, but for the most part they are pretty much the same, with very few variations.

It’s a very old genre, and there was a time when we could play something like this at the arcades. If we were lucky, it was a game that probably had some naked ladies. For some strange reason, these games didn’t really took off, but they never died either.

LightFish is not a difficult game, so even new users who are not familiar with the principle will be able to play this without any issues. The learning curve is forgiving, and players start with just a couple of enemies and a lot of time.

The game is focused on high scores and ratings more than anything else, so it’s the kind of game in which you really need to get those three stars at the end. LightFish adds more enemies as the player progresses through the levels, obstacles, and eventually some units that are coming specifically after the player.

The enemies don’t need to touch your character; they only have to intersect with the line you’re drawing. As long as you stay on the outer edges you’re safe. From time to time, you will also get some bonuses, like multipliers, slow time, or even a new life, but you will have to trap these as well.

The demo for LightFish only comes with a few levels, but the full game has over 40.
