Freaky Fish DX

BitmapSoft, £3 digital, £10 upwards physical, 2021

Dynamite, seconds of super fun. Skeeter has found a stash of his uncle's explosives and decided to use them to stun the local fish in the lake for some easy fishing. Needless to say the fish aren't too happy about this and called upon Jacques le Shark to deal with him.

Jacques has the unusual ability of being able to blow bubbles, and thus provide the solution to their problem. Holding down the fire button blows a bubble and can be held for a short while, then released to encase the dynamite and send it back to the surface, hopefully damaging Skeeter's boat in the process. Not releasing quickly enough can damage yourself in the blast.

Destroying Skeeter's boat completes the level and sends you to the next. If all the other fish in the lake are stunned by dynamite, the game will end. Completing a level will provide a code which can be entered on the title screen to resume next time you play. The physical editions come with five extra levels of bubble blowing action, if the existing twenty-five were not enough challenge.
