Last Fish is a stylish black and white action game about the survival of a tiny fish in toxic water filled with goo. Eat food, avoid goo, escape the shadowfish. Survive. FEATURES * Intuitive controls - tilt the device or use a controller! * Stylish monochromatic Retina Display graphics * Atmospheric soundtrack * Simple and addictive game mechanics * 45 levels and 5 arcade stages * 3 star performance score on each level PRESS QUOTES "Last Fish felt poetic in some ways." - DIYGamer "Last Fish is a satisfying swim through a world of light and shadows." - Kotaku "Within 15 minutes of downloading the game I was hooked." - AppAdvice "Last Fish is proof that games can be artistic, and more importantly that artistic games can be fun." - TouchMyApps GAME MECHANICS Control the fish by tilting the phone/tablet. Eat food to gain health. Avoid touching goo as it decreses health. Complete the objectives but beware of the shadowfish. LEVELS In each level you have to complete one of four objectives: survive for a specified amount of time; quickly follow a trail of rings; clear checkpoints; eat food with caution to reach a specific amount of health. Every level is different, be it food quantity, goo quantity, speed, size, movement patterns, health lost rate, number and speed of shadowfish. All these combined make each level unique. ARCADE Survive as long as possible. Arcade starts with lots of food and some goo, but over time the food gets more rare and more goo appears. The fish also loses more health as time passes. Then appears the shadowfish. Survive, until the inevitable end...

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Slashy Knight at 4.5 against Last Fish's 3.9. Slashy Knight also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 22). Last Fish's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slashy Knight holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slashy Knight has 1.3K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Last Fish's written reviews are positive against 60% of Slashy Knight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Last Fish ships an update every 4 months, Slashy Knight every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
