This game sucks
How fish is made is a highly pretentious game that is played by people who want to seem interesting, deep meanings hidden behind cryptic messaging doesn't make a game good, it just makes it extremely obnoxious and unnecessary, if i wanted to get a big deep meaning i wouldn't play a video game, id read a philosophical book, or maybe one about fish out of water :>

That is a fascinating take I'm afraid I have to disagree but we all have a right to our opinions

The game is unplayable to anybody that prefers to use an inverted Y-axis control option.

You're just mad because you made the wrong choice.

I don't think many people would call this a "great game". It's more like an experience, one of those games you read about and absolutely have to go check out in person. Once it's over, it's hard to explain what you've been through to others, you can only find those who have experienced the same madness because they're the only ones who have any chance of understanding the difference between Pre-HFM you and Post-HFM you.

I'm not sure I like Post-HFM me. I know truths I did not before, and now that I have seen I cannot unsee. I find myself agonizing over the most minor binary decisions. When I open a can of sardines I end up just staring at them, wondering what they would say if they could talk. Knowing what I now know, they wouldn't say much of value, making it a pointless question that I cannot get out of my head.

But fish can't talk, so your contemplation is rather pointless.
I mean, it's some fish, they're stuck in a machine that's partly organic, and they haven't suffocated yet which is miraculous, gills don't do well in air. None of the fish know anything, including you, and I don't know why I chose up. It just seems like if I was trapped in something, up might be towards escape. Up is often escape. Especially underwater. Although the game is played in air, cos I'm flopping and not swimming, it just occurs that with all those fish I'm probably somewhere underwater.

Overall though it's a game where I was a fish with some other fish and nobody knew anything and there's no choice, apart from at the end, and I didn't find out if that meant anything. That's what it is. I enjoyed it! I wouldn't pay much money for it, but it's a thing I've done now that I never did before, or even imagined playing a game where you're a dying fish talking to other dying fish and they're all idiots, but now I have!

I don't think there's any meanings encoded into it. Any decent "meaning" you can just tell someone, no point in encrypting things. But it was a cool game anyway. Might play it one more time, I can't imagine a third time after that would have any point. Little replayability. But on the positive side, a fish's tongue louse just sang a musical to me about how much I suck. So there's that, too. Not much else.
Ur a poo poo head

I'll tell you what, though, Little Lily Swing is one heck of a banger.
Dumb pretentious indie games are my guilty pleasure so I'm glad it exist thank you very much
