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! Join our discord for a lovely and active community!

Boss and Spell Casting Update! (v. 1.7.0)
Added 5 mini bosses to Training and Protect the Fish God - Mega Dashard, Iceard, Pushard, Grabard and Squishard! Added a "element queue" system when spell casting. The old system can still be accessed by selecting "auto clear spells" in the settings tab. Lowered the amount of kills necessary for some achievements. Fixed many bugs including the "stuck-5-meters-above-ground-bug" and the bug where certain element amount achievements weren't stored. Arcane walls work again.Read full article on Community Announcements (rivernotch)Community & EventsOfficial
