Fish Fillets

Fish Fillets is a 1998 puzzle game from Altar Games in which two highly unfortunate fish must work together to escape a series of increasingly devious rooms. Each puzzle requires careful manipulation of objects, switches, barriers, and the environment, with the two characters possessing different abilities and physical limitations. The game looks innocent enough, but its later challenges can become spectacularly demanding. One wrong move may leave the fish trapped, forcing you to restart and reconsider your entire plan. The humor helps soften the frustration, although eventually you may begin to suspect the designers have a personal grudge against aquatic life. It is clever, unusual, and still an excellent brain workout.
