About Nyaruru Fishy Fight
Nyaruru Fishy Fight is a Metroidvania‑style action adventure where Nyaruru explores a town that has mysteriously sprouted cat ears and tails. The story follows her investigation as she battles enemies, gathers Catcoins, and uncovers the cause of the transformation.
Combat centers on a fish sword with several attack types, while a variety of purchasable items and abilities let players adapt to each boss’s unique mechanics. Observation and practice are emphasized, especially on higher difficulties, to develop effective strategies.
01 / THE GUIDE
Combat Moves
Nyaruru can execute a triple attack by swinging the fish sword rapidly, delivering high damage within a second. An upward attack slashes upward, launching enemies into the air, and a downward attack slashes down, bouncing after impact and resetting both double jump and dash.
A dash propels Nyaruru forward without a foreswing, while the speed‑up‑and‑jump lets her maintain high velocity in the air before landing. The sneak move reduces her hitbox by stepping onto a skateboard, helping her pass through tight spaces and avoid enemy contact.
- Use the downward attack when you need to regain double jump and dash after a hit.
- Activate sneak mode in narrow corridors to reduce the chance of colliding with hazards.

Ability Items
Catcoins collected throughout the world can be spent at the store for consumables, growth items, and ability items. Cat scratchers raise skill levels, cat catchers increase maximum HP, gemstones unlock new skills, and accessories provide specific effects for boss fights and exploration.
These purchases let players tailor Nyaruru’s capabilities to match the varied challenges presented by different bosses and platform sections. Selecting the right combination of items can make difficult encounters more manageable.
- Invest in cat catchers early to improve survivability before tackling tougher bosses.
- Test different accessories to discover which effects best complement each boss’s pattern.

Boss Mechanics
Each boss features a distinct set of mechanics, requiring players to observe patterns and adjust their approach. The game stresses observation and a small amount of practice, especially on higher difficulties, to find strategies that simplify fights.
Because boss mechanics differ greatly, the choice of abilities and accessories becomes crucial. Proper skill selection can turn a challenging encounter into a manageable one.
- Watch a boss’s attack phases before committing to a specific sequence.
- Swap accessories between attempts to see which effects counter the boss most effectively.
04 / THE GUIDE
Exploration Tools
Weight gear allows Nyaruru to squash enemies by stomping on their heads. A glowing indicator shines near Catcoins, making hidden treasure easier to locate during exploration.
The skate‑sneak mode reduces hitbox height, aiding navigation through narrow passages. Together, these tools support both combat and map traversal in the interconnected world.
- Activate the glowing indicator when searching for hidden Catcoins in complex areas.
- Use weight gear to squash enemies that get in your way.
