About Fish Stick Protocol
Fish Stick Protocol is a chaotic co-op indie game from Maracas Studio released on PC in November 2025. It’s a procedural adventure where 1 to 8 players scavenge through shifting dimensions to gather artifacts for a mysterious Owner’s collection. The game leans into absurdity and randomness, with each session reshuffling environments and challenges. Single-player and co-op modes let you tackle the same goals alone or with friends. It’s a fast-paced, unpredictable romp for fans of collaborative problem-solving and weird art.
Gameplay
You navigate procedurally generated 3D spaces filled with floating platforms, traps, and odd enemies. Controls are simple: jump, grab, and interact to collect items and escape collapsing rooms. Multiplayer requires constant communication, as one player’s mistake can doom the whole team. Sessions last 10, 20 minutes, with each level resetting after failure. The Owner’s galleries force you to meet bizarre conditions, like retrieving a “glowing rubber chicken” or surviving a collapsing room. Chaos is core, expect shifting gravity, random item drops, and sudden deaths. Co-op is the best mode, as teamwork mitigates the game’s punishing randomness.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 92%, with 45% completing the main story in an average 15 hours. Critics give it 78%, praising creativity but noting repetitive mechanics. Community moods are split: 55% call it “chaotic fun,” 30% find it “frustratingly unfair.” One player wrote, “It’s like playing Jenga with physics.” Completion rates drop sharply after hour 10, with 60% abandoning the game. There are 88 achievements, 75% of which relate to multiplayer. Procedural elements ensure 98% of players get different layouts each run. The 15-hour average includes 8 hours of failed attempts.
PlayPile's Take
This game is for players who thrive on absurdity and don’t mind repeated deaths. The 45% completion rate and 88 achievements suggest it’s more of a casual addiction than a deep story. Price unknown, but 15 hours of playtime won’t break the bank. If you hate randomness or need structured progression, skip it. For co-op fans who want to laugh through chaos, it’s worth the 10-hour commitment to unlock key achievements. The procedural design keeps it fresh, but don’t expect a relaxing experience.
