What Shutshimi is

Shutshimi is an adventure game developed by Neon Deity Games and released in 2014. It was published by Choice Provisions. It is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Shütshimi is a randomized shoot'em up about a muscle-bound fish with memory problems defending the seven seas. Armed with your trusty bullet-morphing shotgun, defeat or navigate through waves of enemies and collect powerups as you battle your way through each of the game's bosses. But there's a catch (there's always a catch): you've been cursed with an incredibly short attention span. Combat waves and upgrade cycles only last 10 seconds a piece, so you'd better act fast!
