About the Story

In this very short game with several possible endings, you play as a sentient goldfish masquerading as a human using the Fish-Bot 2000. Tonight, you're in the Franco-Texan embassy to gain the respect of the Franco-Texan people for fishkind.

A speedy game with an absurd sense of humor, September 1, 2012
by Bernie (Fredericksburg, VA)

This piece of speed-IF centers around a fish wearing a robotic human suit. To handle the restricted nature of a speed-IF game, the author restricts the commands to a set of buttons in your suit. This does help ease the frustration present in so many speed-IF games when the game fails to respond to most commands. In this game, the parser explains that you are hyper-focused and directs you to use the controls in your fish-suit.

I added a second star to the game for the game's absurd humor, which I found amusing during the five minutes that it took to play through the game's various endings.
