The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frantic, whimsical microgame marathon where fishy scenarios escalate from silly to stressful, demanding quick reflexes and rewarding persistence.

What players say

Players call Fishlike a faithful WarioWare clone with fun, varied microgames, but many say difficulty and control consistency are uneven, some minigames feel impossible at high speed. The lack of multiplayer is a common miss, though most agree it's worth the low price for the charm and challenge.
