PRESS QUOTES
"Last Fish felt poetic in some ways." - DIYGamer

"Last Fish is a satisfying swim through a world of light and shadows." - Kotaku

GAME MECHANICS
Control the fish by tilting the phone/tablet.

Eat food to gain health. Avoid touching goo as it decreses health. Complete the objectives but beware of the shadowfish.

LEVELS
In each level you have to complete one of four objectives: survive for a specified amount of time; quickly follow a trail of rings; clear checkpoints; eat food with caution to reach a specific amount of health. Every level is different, be it food quantity, goo quantity, speed, size, movement patterns, health lost rate, number and speed of shadowfish. All these combined make each level unique.

ARCADE
Survive as long as possible. Arcade starts with lots of food and some goo, but over time the food gets more rare and more goo appears. The fish also loses more health as time passes. Then appears the shadowfish. Survive, until the inevitable end...

Pros and cons of Last Fish app for iPhone and iPad

Last Fish app good for

The way you move the fish around with the tilt of the idevice is the best Ive seen yet. They really nailed the controls. The graphical style is cool and the gameplay is fun. My only concern is that a game like this is all about atmosphere and music and sound effects do a lot for atmosphere. That being said, the music in this is no good. Definitely needs a better soundtrack. But all in all, good game.
Great game, I loves these dark themed games. Reminds me of limbo, which is a good thing. Feels good to find a deal on the app store especially when its free. Congrates on a this gem pyrosphere.
Nice audio, cool visuals, tilt-to-live-caliber tilt controls. Pick this title up. To the developers: believe in this title and support it. There is a place for Limbo meets Flow. Be patient.
Great game. The black and white is so cool and the concept is nice. Easy to pick up and play. Definite recommend!
The design is beautifully minimalist, the controls are adaptable and intuitive. Of course the game itself is a lot of fun, and the levels are well timed to be done in nice, small segments - perfect if you want something to occupy you for two minutes or two hours!
Graphics are stunning. Music is great. Variations would be appreciated. And levels are too repeating. Please do an update on this marvelous game. Merci!

Some bad moments

You play a fish living in a toxic environment. To survive, you control your fish into the lighted circles. The atmosphere is bleak, dark, and claustrophobic. The controls, unfortunately, are too.
Relaxing and wonderful. Quite beautiful as well. Levels vary little, but was free, so hardly a complaint.
This app is pretty good, gamecenter and openfreit achievements as well. Gets some time to know whats going on, the black oil blobs you have to watch out for. Its a fun, challenging, and action packed adventure. Get this app, you will not regret it.
One simple change, the inclusion of a reverse-control option, and the game would be worth 4 stars, thats how frustrating I find them. Otherwise, its rather similar to flOw and would probably be just as relaxing if it wasnt for the fish always going the wrong way.
Creepy and depressing, good gameplay though and arcade mode provides replay. Its a sad little game though, surreal even. Probably one of the few games thats ever spoken to me on an emotional level, I can barely stand the arcade modes because I know the fish will inevitably consumed by the tenebrous environment.
I got it for free. Im immediately hooked with the tight controls and the art :F
