The Legend of the Goldfish

The Legend of the Goldfish is a game made for Global Game Jam 2025 on the theme “Bubble”. You play a diver descending a trench in search of the legendary goldfish at the very bottom, where a single resource, oxygen, drives everything.

Dive deeper while managing the oxygen that keeps you and your enemies alive.

One resource, three uses

Oxygen is the whole game loop:

1. It keeps you alive as you descend.
2. It suffocates enemies when you take it from them.
3. It lets you dash to finish them off.

Reach the legendary goldfish at the bottom of the trench before you run out. The game ships with controller support and is color-blind friendly.

The deeper you go, the tighter the oxygen budget.

Oxygen management in motion.
