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.

Fight the devs of Fishards, if you win - it goes open source! Lose and it's deleted from Steam

Well, that's certainly one way to pull in some eyes isn't it? Fight the developers, get it open source or Fishards will be gone from Steam.

FISHARDS IS NOW FREE TO PLAY!

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!
