Fish Out Of Water!

Really? I read the "Most Helpful Reviews" and one of the reviews had a dev response that said that Halfbrick+ gives access to more than one game. Paying for ANY game seems dumb to me. But a whole subscription? Why? Max a 10$ one-time purchase seems borderline reasonable, but I can't understand a monthly payment. So greedy and dumb. Waste of money and storage for players, and a waste of a good game and thousands of 4-5 star reviews. Please make these games free-to-play.

early app store title with no real changes in a decade but we slap a forced subscription on this ancient mobile game preventing save data (my fish hats went away). Horrifying trend of taking already functioning software from 2010s and dilapidating it to unplayability (see: PvZ) it isn’t slick and it isn’t a good look, you did not make a new product and thus u shouldn’t get to apply new restrictions to its access, make a new game and paywall that. To extract revenue from games created in the days of 4in screens is an embarrassment.

I play this game so much as a kid, loved it to death. It’s the same story with jetpack joyride and fruit ninja, but I loved this game so much more. I’ve replayed a few times over the years just for a nice blast of nostalgia, and always had a great time again. Last week I got another wave of nostalgia and wanted to play again, only to be met with a paywall telling me to pay for a halfbrick+ subscription. I play a lot of pc, so I’m used to paying for games. However, a yearly subscription for a mobile game is absurd. I wouldn’t pay $25 a year for call of duty let alone fish out of water. Absolutely absurd that halfbrick thinks this ok, and it probably won’t change cause I’m sure the whales buying the subscription are keeping the company’s bottom line higher than ever. So I’m gonna go enjoy my last free 20 minutes of fish out of water, then never touch a game from this greedy company again.

Haven’t played in a while, tried today only to find subscription only. That game isn’t worth a penny.

I used to play this game over a decade ago and it was so fun! One of my favorite mobile games of all time. I forgot about it for a long time but remembered it and wanted to play it again. We do not want to play your other games on Halfbrick+. We want to play Fish Out Of Water! Many would be happy paying a one time LOW COST payment to get rid of ads on an otherwise free game, but gatekeeping this classic, award-winning game to a terrible subscription service has ruined any nostalgia I had for it. If it ever becomes free to play again I would love to play it and change my review. Until then, Halfbrick+ remains a terrible decision by the studio and will rot with all the other games locked behind it. VERY hostile business practice!

Used to be a go-to mobile game when I was a kid, got the itch to play this again just to find out it has a subscription JUST to play the game normally, cant even play with ads for free. Id rather the game be a dollar or two, but WHO is paying a subscription just to play these games.

I used to love this game when I played it in the 2010s, but now that enjoyment has been impeded. Players shouldn’t have to pay a subscription for a game they could previously play for free. I doubt the developers will change their stance on this, but I hope to warn any previous players that might want to relive their nostalgia that this game has been soiled. With the way the world is right now, forcing your players to make repeated payments instead of just a single purchase is predatory. I wouldn’t even mind if this game were a single $5 purchase, and that’s me being generous. What a shame.

subscription needed
