Since I’ve bought the game in May 2026 (which was after perma-death for fish luckily was removed) for my PC (still running on Windows 10 btw. :p), the game has received many updates - and a ton of interesting features have been added since then :) The art has also gone through notable changes. Yes, the look of all the fish, plants, corals and other stuff between July and October 2026 was the most "beautiful" (in a kitschy shiny comic-style way), but unfortunately it had been AI-made during this time -_- So I'm very grateful and happy that it has been changed back to human-made real art! Thank you for that, developers :) And now this idle aquarium has suddenly become a card-collecting game :D Quite the surprise. But everything's okay. No real-life money is required (yay!). The game still runs solely on the ingame currency you collect by letting your fish swim idly like before, and doing very simple daily tasks like feeding your fish or cleaning up a little. So things are just as chill as before :) You just don't buy specific single fish and plants anymore, but packs of three random cards sorted into several rarities. And if you receive more of the same fish, you don't have to …

Absolutely love this game! It’s such a relaxing and addictive experience. I really enjoy watching the aquarium grow, collecting different fish, and slowly expanding everything. The progression feels rewarding without being stressful, and the whole atmosphere is just incredibly cozy. It’s one of those games where you can play for a few minutes or lose track of time for hours. The visuals are beautiful, the fish look great, and there’s something really satisfying about building your own aquarium. Huge respect to the developers — you can tell a lot of love went into this game. Definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys relaxing, cozy, idle, or management games. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Recommended I already have more than 5 hours in this game, and honestly, I couldn’t stop playing. It’s a relaxing aquarium farming game where you hatch fish, raise them, expand your collection, and earn money over time. The progression feels rewarding, and there’s always something to do, whether it’s unlocking new species or improving your aquarium. The game is simple to learn but surprisingly addictive. If you enjoy idle, farming, or aquarium management games, this is definitely worth trying. Great job by the developers!

I've been enjoying this game a lot more than I expected. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and it's surprisingly satisfying to watch your aquarium grow over time. The visuals are clean, the fish animations look great, and the overall presentation feels polished. It's the kind of game that's easy to leave running while you work or just want something peaceful on a second monitor. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves with future updates. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy cozy and relaxing games.

Edit 2: i will switch it to rec with an extra note or two. the game is pretty different now. it went form like fish tycoon simplistic style, to draw cards creature collector. I like both generas so this is not a flaw for me, but it is a big change i wanted to mention. the global leader board is cool. wild how fast ive climbed to second place though. I do think it flows a little fast on the collecting while not focusing on the expanding and decor enough. however given how update heavy the game is and how quick to respond the developer is, perhaps that will change soon. lastly, dev stop making the eyes bigger please, its kinda creepy, i know fish had big eyes irl but i dont like it, thats a personal ick that has no reflection on the game quality. Tbh i wish i could give a mid score its decent game which is why i went with recommended now, however it is a check on this once a day collect everything and move on with your day kind of thing. which is great if thats what you are looking for, and i do play those so i will keep playing. but it is a not everyones cup of tea style of game so if you are reading this think about what kind of gaming tea you like and if this kind of game is for…
