Halfbrick’s Fish Out Of Water is among the many other games that are launching tonight, and I’m not sure I could be more stoked about it. We’ve extensively covered the game in the past, but here’s the gist (again)- Imagine skipping stones in a constantly changing ocean that’s directly linked to the weather in game, only instead of stones you’ve got a variety of fish that each have slightly different abilities such as being able to fly extra far or being able to skip across the surface like mad. Each attempt is graded by a set of judges who each look for specific things in your tosses, and doing well involves not only choosing the right fish for the weather but also throwing them appropriately to best handle the current state of your waves.
Of course there’s a Jetpack Joyride-style objective system, so even if you’re totally failing at impressing the judges you can at least complete different mini-goals, such as tossing all of your fish to stay under a low vertical line across the screen and much more. Will it be the next Fruit NinjaFish Out Of Water.

It isn't Popcap going down the dark path; they are owned by EA now, lest we forget.
Sheeesh guys, couldn't you just have added this to the "Coming Tonight" post? I mean really...ANOTHER post I have to read? I can't just allocate time in my busy schedule for this crap. Ain't nobody got time for that!
>_>
I wish Apple would require that Gamecenter friend matching be, at the very least, an OPTION.
I don't like being forced to connect with only Facebook friends.
Is it just me or are some of these games designed like a social virus?
I was actually hoping that the "one more thing" was Star Command coming out.
I'm trying to like this game. I really am. But I don't use facebook, and non-facebook users are treated like Harry Potter at the Dursley home. I mean, we can't even pick a user name! I don't want to be Hero 3190 or whatever it is! lol.
I'm not liking the fact that you have to buy in to every single game, either. I imagine it's possible to go broke and just be stuck with the option of IAP or delete. The devs obviously want to make money, but I would rather be compelled to drop cash because I'm enjoying myself, not because the start button is greyed out.
