Why this one

• Correct names and data in a file: no guessing which sprite is which fish.
• Two sizes, both drawn: the 16 px fish are not shrunken 32s; their bodies and fins are drawn for 16 px.
• Animated, both facings: drop them in an aquarium or an underwater level as they are.
• One style for fish, gear and UI: the same light, outlines and palette family across the whole kit.
• Every sprite at 1x, 2x and 3x, a sheet per folder with a JSON map (positions, titles, fps, 9-slice margins), palettes and a README.

What it does not include

No characters or fishing poses, no shore, water or dock tiles (the scenes in the screenshots are backdrops drawn for the pictures), no sounds, no engine project, no Aseprite files. The text in the screenshots is our preview font, not included. The art is drawn at 1x; the 2x and 3x files are scaled copies.

Use and modify in personal and commercial projects. Shipping the sprites inside your game is fine. No resale or redistribution of the assets, modified or not. Credit is appreciated, not required. Not for AI training or NFTs.

How it was made

Every sprite is drawn by code (Python): one parametric fish model (body profile, fins, tail shapes, patterns) and shape drawings for the other creatures and items, shaded from the top left onto small colour ramps and outlined, rendered separately at 16 and 32 px. No image generator, no third-party art. The code was written with AI-assisted tools, which is why the page is tagged AI Assisted.
