Slap your opponent with a big fish. (That’s right, not your fist, because that’s wrong kids) and each time you win enough rounds you can upgrade to more exotic fish with classic names such as Jean Claude Van Clam and Christian Whale.

Based on a simple ‘Paper, scissors, stone’ mechanic, this two player game built using the Messenger API allows you to challenge your friends while chatting online. We also created a Facebook application too so you can check your rank amount the Messenger friends on your contact list and against a global list of players.

Who would have thought that building a community of players who compete to upgrade their fish weapon to achieve higher scores would drive literally years of time online for Messenger in a few months?

Well, we would.
