• 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.

• 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

  Added 5 mini bosses to Training and Protect the Fish God - Mega Dashard, Iceard, Pushard, Grabard and Squishard! Added a "element queue" system when spell casting. 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!
