Fishy Love is a puzzle-platformer where you control two fish who are deeply in love as they explore an underwater world filled with puzzles, obstacles, enemies, and hidden dangers.

The main mechanic revolves around the fish's memory. When the two fish are together, they remember their love and can use abilities such as the Love Dash. When they move too far apart, they forget, which changes what abilities are available and forces the player to think carefully about when to separate them.

Sometimes the fish need to stay together to move through obstacles, while other situations require them to split apart to deal with enemies. This creates a constant back-and-forth between staying together, separating, and finding the right way to reunite.

The game was created around the themes "Stuck Together" and "Forget Me Not", using the relationship between the two fish as the foundation for both its gameplay and level design.

The goal was to make the relationship itself part of the gameplay, rather than just something represented through the story..
