Going Swimmingly: ‘Ecofish’ Now Available On The App Store

Eclipse Games have released their eco-worried puzzle game, Ecofish , on to the App Store with other mobile versions coming soon.

The amount of games that address issues with pollution are countless so here’s another one to add to the pile. Eclipse Games’ most recent title, Ecofish , is a fairly predictable tale – oil spill in ocean, fishes go crazy and you play as the one fish who is unaffected by it all and makes it its task to clean up this mess.

What I like about Ecofish is that it was actually intended as a port of Eclipse’s previous title, Lightfish. That game had the same gameplay but with Ecofish they have obviously tweaked it for touch screen control and added new art and soundtrack. It took five months for the transformation to take place, but the more friendly look of Ecofish is worth it I think.

In case you didn’t know, Ecofish has you capturing parts of the screen in order to reclaim back the beauty of the ocean. You do this by leaving the safety of the level’s border and drawing a line into the oil spillage and returning back to the border. Yeah it’s not that easy to explain but there is a trailer below that will help you out with that better than I can.

Currently, Ecofish is available on the App Store for $1.99but Android and Windows Phone 7 versions will hopefully be with us by late April or early May, other platforms may follow after that.

More information on Ecofish can be found on the game’s official website.
