Swimming as a fish with intentionally awkward controls in a watercolor world, balancing careful exploration with the threat of being eaten.

What players say

Players describe Guppy as a minimalist arcade game with a unique tail-flipping control scheme. They split on whether the controls are interesting or frustrating, and on whether the experience is relaxing or stressful. The watercolor art is widely praised, but the gameplay is very short and boils down to eating flies while avoiding bigger fish.
