After about 3 days of weird Byrdr ARG stuff and a year after the cloning controversy, this game is finally out on the iTunes App Store! It's $2.99, no early-bird sale but also no in-app purchases, as far as I know. I haven't played it but it's been getting rave reviews and it looks damn slick. The ARG also hints at some kind of story, so it sounds like it's a lot more than the old Radical Fishing.

My internet is having problems so it's going to take some time for me to download it =[. If anyone has played it, please share some of your impressions of it!

I really like it. It is a fresh take on endless runners. Also, it keeps the new upgrades coming frequently enough (especially at first) to really get its hooks into you (hey-ooo!).

the byrd emails that have "accidently" been sent to every contact has been the most amazing part of this whole thing for me, such a crazy story has been drawn out from that stuff.

This game has a great gameplay loop, nice visual design, an upgrade tree to work yourself up -- it's pretty awesome. Definitely worth the $3 for me.

Any rumors of the game coming to Android or Steam?

Max Tempkin from Cards Against Humanity seems to be really into this.

Or maybe he's really sarcastic about it?

Either way, I'd want to play it, but I don't have any Apple stuff. I'll wait to see if it comes to Android though.

Anyone managed to get the last three fish? I was thinking maybe they're only around under certain conditions, but I can't seem to find them.

EDIT: Nevermind, got 'em.

I'm enjoying this game so much. Definitely worth the price, which is almost nothing.
