We've addressed some minor technical issues to improve performance across the board. Thanks for playing and keep the feedback coming!
Fish Out Of Water! is the story of six feisty fish eager to soar above the ocean. To help them get airborne, players simply throw their fish of choice out of the water and watch as it skips across the clouds and races along the waves. With a dynamic weather system that changes the water conditions and a quirky scoring system, every throw is a new challenge.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Fish Out Of Water is a delightful departure from the standard 'endless' genre. Instead of controlling a single character, you choose three fish from a diverse roster to skip across the ocean surface. It’s like a digital version of skipping stones, but with a lot more personality. Each fish—from the heavy whale to the erratic dolphin—has unique physics that change how they interact with the water and air.
What makes the game truly special is the 'Social Weather' system and the crab judges. The weather changes every hour, affecting the wind and waves, which forces you to adapt your strategy. After your three skips, a panel of crabs scores your performance based on distance and number of skips. It’s charming, visually vibrant, and has that signature Halfbrick 'one-more-go' quality that makes it hard to put down.
Features
Six unique fish types
Dynamic weather system
Competitive leaderboards
Charming character designs
Tips & Walkthrough
Always look at the current weather conditions. If it's a calm day, use the dolphin for maximum skips. If it's a stormy day with big waves, use the heavy whale to smash through the water and maintain momentum.
Gameplays
Each judge has a preference. Hard-boiled Harry loves distance, while Dorothy likes a high skip count. Try to balance your three throws to appeal to the widest range of judges for a perfect 10.

Crystals can be collected and crafted into charms that provide permanent boosts to your fish's speed or skip ability.

A game that I wish I could play
Thu Aug 22 2024 dinoboiiiWhen I was younger, I remember playing this game so much so I don’t know why I ever would have had any thoughts to delete it. Every now and again I would remember this game but not the name. A couple days ago, I was scrolling on the App Store and I saw this game. I was so happy and I downloaded it immediately. I started playing and I was so happy and was flooded with nostalgia. Then suddenly, it interrupted me to ask me to pay to play. I don’t remember this game ever charging you just to play so maybe that’s why I ended up deleting it when I was younger. Since I’m not spending money on this game, I’m going to half to delete it. It was fun to play again and at least I got 20 minutes of nostalgia and play time but unfortunately that’s also all I will get. The game itself is 5 stars but due to being required to pay play, it really bumps it down.
After many years I will be deleting this game
Sat May 18 2024 Sylvias66Update: uninstalled, no longer a halfbrick customer. Will not be paying for ad free, would rather not play at all I purchased this game many years ago, at least 10 or more and always enjoyed playing. Then Halfbrick decided to abandon their game, took away the ability to join leagues and eventually to the point the game could no longer be played. Recently Half rick decided to relaunch this game, place ads in it & expect their customers to watch ads on a game they failed to make even one update on after taking away the ability to connect to a server and us be ok with it, even offering a special incentive for those of us who are long time ago purchasers thinking we'd be ok with it...I'm here to say I'm not ok with it, I do not care how long ago I purchased this game, I paid for it and am not paying twice or monthly dues I'm sure Halfbrick will charge. I delete games that constantly interrupt the little I play. Sorry Halfbrick I will not be paying again, nor will I put up with ads from a resurrected app with ads. I will be deleting & uninstalling the app. Halfbrick lost a customer with this lame, greedy idea and besides, so much time has lapsed since the game was an abandoned project so who gives a rat's fanny...lost interest long ago
Subscriptions have ruined gaming, and I fear we will never go back.
Thu Feb 20 2025 MusekFanI used to love this game, even after they had moved to branding themselves as Halfbrick Plus, this game was still free with no ads a couple years ago. I figured I’d redownload, only to find I only get 20 minutes of gameplay?? And I would have to subscribe to some new subscription?? I cannot possibly imagine this subscription model will be successful or sustainable. I get that you want money for the thing you made, but I miss when games were just games to be games. And there has got to be a better system than this, even if it’s a subscription that’s an add on rather than limiting access to the game, like Club Penguin. So few games are free without ads, and that’s something that is needed specifically for kids. Parents shouldn’t have to pay for ad-free games for their kids, especially not some subscription. So shame on you Halfbrick. You were one of the few companies I had held in high regard, but now it has been completely soured. Supercell is one of the few mobile game companies that actually have a decent model if you don’t factor in the in app purchases (which most games have anyways). Stay away folks.
Simple yet entertaining!
Mon Mar 25 2024 Catlover041008I played this game a lot when I was younger and coming back to it now, it didn’t disappoint! It’s a simple premise, yet it’s diverse and has countless possibilities! Not to mention, since it basically forces you to sign up at the start, there’s absolutely no ads all for free! I adore this game for it’s cute and simple artstyle and the lack of the developers trying to milk you for every penny you’ll offer up. There’s no in game store as far as I’ve seen and the game is simple enough for anyone to get into and enjoy! It’s entertaining but not to the point of addiction, so I would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s interested! Have a good day/night!
Amazing game but a scam subscription
Fri Dec 27 2024 Narrator 2I only want to play one game from my childhood and it is ruined by the greedy people who want me to pay annually for one game the game. is amazing but not worth the subscription frankly none of these game are worth the subscription. just make game with adds and ones you have to pay for like any other mobile game company. pls consider making a buy one game and not pay for other games the might not want just make them pay one or two bucks for a game with out adds. I waited for years fore this game to be rereleased looked on the App Store every other day and when it finally came out I was ecstatic to play the fond game from my childhood until a couple weeks after I downloaded it is became a payed subscription. Now these is not no triple a game by a big game studio it is a simple game that would help me relax when times were tough. Though this game is amazing I hope I can see a more affordable and hopefully free version in my lifetime.
I am sad
Wed Nov 12 2025 WcaCuberThis game used to be free to play. Now it's not just paid, but a subscription. I understand that it comes in a package deal with a bunch of other games, but i dont care about any of those other games. It gets worse when you factor in the fact that im only playing these games once every two months on a sunday that i sneeze, my effort toward these games is like a heart rate monitor on a critical patient. My main problem isnt even that its pay to play, its the fact that it is a subscription. I dont want my wallet being constantly harassed every month while i forgot im even paying to not play a game for five months until i pick it up for two minutes. I wish this game was either 1. A one time purchase for $0.99 2. Back to the free to play version i loved. Or 3. Even put it on apple arcade (yes, still a subscription. But at least i get hundreds of games that i might/have been interested in rather than five you get with half-brick "+"
Seriously?😒
Sat May 24 2025 LT (Lightning Tiger)So, I redownloaded this game today, just trying to have a fun little experience before bed and then, I open the game and see, 20 minutes of gameplay? As the only free option to play this game that would probably not even go for 9.99 dollars on Steam. This was one of the most classic and satisfying games on the App Store when I was 4, now. I can’t even play it anymore. I can stomach subscriptions IF, it has next to nothing to do with the game in question, things like extra currency to get skins, I can get behind but this? This is just sad. And I already know that Halfbrick aren’t even going to respond to this review themselves, it’s just going to be a stupid ai response. How sad. Once apon a time, Halfbrick were the game developers for mobile, rivaling Supercell and Rovio. Now, they’re just like the rest of the “greats” greedy and sad. Enjoy the thousands of lost players Halfbrick. One of the only things you’ve earned in the past few years🙄
Nope! Done with greedy Halfbrick.
Sun Jan 26 2025 MegsferI loved this game when it first came out years ago. I played it all the time. Then they pulled it from the AppStore for years. Now that it’s finally back, you can’t even play it without paying for a monthly subscription. I would even pay a one time fee to purchase this game, own it, and be able to play add free whenever I want. But one decent game is not worth paying for another subscription service with absolutely NOTHING else I want to play. I refuse to pay a monthly fee that costs almost the same as Apple Arcade for less than 1/10 the available game options. This is a way for Halfbrick to keep sucking you dry when there is only one game you want to play casually. Sadly, I’ll be deleting and moving on to playing games made by companies that consider the value you get for what they charge. Halfbrick, pretty sure you messed up big on this one. You have completely alienated longtime fans.
