⚠️ Warning: This is the legacy documentation for Jumpy, before the Bevy rewrite was merged. It is no longer up-to-date, but it still has some useful thoughts, and some of it may still be good to migrate to the new documentation.

Introduction

Fish Folk: Jumpy is a tactical 2D shooter, played by up to 4 players online or on a shared screen.

For more information about our origin story (Duck Game et.al.) and big-picture plans, see our design document.

Status
