Game Info

"Battle of Goldfish Scooping" features a distinct asymmetrical gameplay design. One player takes on the role of the scooper, using a fragile paper scoop (poi) to catch goldfish and aim for combos and bonus points.

The challenge lies in the delicate skill required to handle the poi without it breaking. Conversely, other players can embody the goldfish, darting through the water to evade capture while collecting glowing orbs to boost their score.

Even if caught, goldfish have a chance to bounce back to freedom. The game incorporates roguelite elements, allowing players to earn new skills and power-ups with each playthrough, encouraging repeated engagement and strategic growth.

It supports both English and Japanese languages and is available as Free to Play on Steam, with a 'Mostly Positive' user reception.
