1.1 Release
Changes include:

  • Improved game balance
  • New modes of gameplay
  • Improved performance on higher levels

Use the Reset option in the main menu to load changes to default school options. This will improve the game balance.

Go to Gameplay->Game mode to select one of the following game modes:

  • School vs. School - Original gameplay of each school against the other.
  • Schools vs. Critters - All schools collaborate to kill waves of critters.
  • Plankton only - Like School vs. School but simpler. No power ups or critters except plankton.
  • Color balance test - The game will play all schools automatically and keep track of the winning school each round. Used for testing game balance.

16 Player support!
Hi folks! PIxel Fishies was originally a 1-4 player game. While integrating Steam's input system, I thought why not support more?

Steam's maximum of sixteen controllers is now supported. There are still four teams, so if there are more than four players some will be on the same team.

Btw, if anyone actually tries this, there will be an achievement for you!
