Latest Steam announcements

  • The community won the battle, so PvP battler Fishards is now open source - 4 July 2024

    Back in June the developers of Fishards put out a bit of an ultimatum: fight them in-game and win to make the game open source, or they will nuke the game from orbit. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/07/the-community-won-the-battle-so-pvp-battler-fishards-is-now-open-source

  • Fight the devs of Fishards, if you win - it goes open source! Lose and it's deleted from Steam - 7 June 2024

    Well, that's certainly one way to pull in some eyes isn't it? Fight the developers, get it open source or Fishards will be gone from Steam. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/06/fight-the-devs-of-fishards-if-you-win-it-goes-open-source-lose-and-its-deleted-from-steam

  • FISHARDS IS NOW FREE TO PLAY! - 6 January 2023

    We want more people to play and enjoy Fishards, so after careful consideration we think this would be our best move! There are no microtransactions or battle passes. Fishards is a multiplayer only game so it’s very important that there are players online at any given time - if the game is free there will be more people who can play! Right now there are 0 players online at any given time which leads to a large amount of new players immediately refunding the game. Hopefully this can revive our game and bring new people into the community. If you haven't tried Fishards this is your chance! Join our discord for a lovely and active community! Join here

  • Boss and Spell Casting Update! (v. 1.7.0) - 29 January 2022

The old system can still be accessed by selecting "auto clear spells" in the settings tab. Lowered the amount of kills necessary for some achievements. Fixed many bugs including the "stuck-5-meters-above-ground-bug" and the bug where certain element amount achievements weren't stored. Arcane walls work again.

  • We Messed Up + New Release Date - 24 October 2021

    Long story short, we thought our full release version of the game wouldn't have to be reviewed by Steam since our demo is reviewed already. (It is the same project, but with a few tweaks) However, that is not the case and we since we somehow managed to miss the glaring ”send in build review for release”- button we'll have to push the release date forward to a date where it will be reviewed. It could be reviewed as soon as Monday but we decided it would be best to release the game after the halloween sale as the store page would be flooded with awesome deals that would take away attention from Fishards. We apologise to anyone who looked forward to the release and we really hope we can make it up for you with an awesome release in a bit more than a week from now, November 3!

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Fishards's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Fishards's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Fishards at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
