Origin
editSplashy Fish was released in the wake of the take down of Flappy Bird. Massimo Guareschi of redBit said he created the game using a commercial app development system in three days.[1] Within fifteen hours of its launch, the game reached the top of the iTunes free download list.[2][3] The fish controlled by the player is loosely based on the Cheep Cheep from the Super Mario series.
