I did not expect the live service style elements. I do not want to be begging other players to like my aquarium in order to complete multiple quests. I don't want to be limited to 5 likes for other players per day, so that I am begging for likes while not being able to return the favor. I don't want to have limits on how much bait I can buy from the store, I felt this limited my ability to progress at my own pace. I don't want limited time offers that create a "fear of missing out". Agree with this review 100% so I copied it. Disappointing.Show moreShow less

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Adorable game, very stimulating and pretty, I love my fishies! buuut, while I do recommend it... I'm not sure I'm a fan of the online implementation. Buying from and selling to players and hanging out in lobbies is fun, yes, but having to beg for engagement on a discord server so I can complete quests is not something I'm a fan of. I've already sent feedback to the developers asking for these mechanics to be changed, and I hope you guys do too, if this is something that you don't like to see in videogames. Overall still awesome, I love my fishies. UPDATE: It has since been just over a week after I posted my review of this game and I have enjoyed it for another 10 hours. The devs have made a few tweaks over a couple of patches, and I must say, most of my gripes with the game's social system have been corrected. For starters, I haven't gotten a single quest to receive reactions from other players for a few days. I assume they've been removed entirely, because I did dozens of quests and not one involved that. You still get quests that prompt you to visit and react to other players' aquariums, but those are obviously not the severe pain that is actively begging for reactions for yours, not to mention, they added an unlimited reaction type so that you're never limited to how many aquariums you can react to (let it be known the previous limited reaction types still exist and they're, to my knowledge, the only way to obtain the online currency you use to buy other player's fish) Sooooo, yeah, pretty happy about that! Seems like they listen to feedback and take it quite well. My opinion still stands, awesome game.Show moreShow less

This is not a mobile game, there's no need for "retention mechanics" like "you didn't show up for a few days so all your fish are dead".Show moreShow less

Loving the game so far but i find it odd how we are able to catch non-fish animals like dolphins, turtles and seals before we have any octopus or squid types. (dumbo octopus and vampire squid would be awesome).Please add some to the game! It would also be cool to have species of crab (was dissapointed there was no snow crab in arctic update ). Would also love to see Eels, starfish, and more jellyfish species (esp bioluminescent kind for dark tanks). Please add different corals and anemone types for decoration too!Show moreShow less

I currently have 20 idle games installed on my PC and finish 2-3 per week. I can't for the life of me get into Tiny Aquarium, which is sad because I love idle fishing games like cornerpond, fish to dish idle sushi, idle fishing (to name just a few that I've played this month). The game feels more like a chore that is not rewarding. Too few coins for selling fish, too many actions per fish required per day makes the game feel more like an errand than a game to play. The fishing mini game is a nice distraction but you fill up on fish so quick, and they sell for so little, it just feels unrewarding in every sense. I'll keep it installed, followed and hope there will be some additional updates that substantially change these features and if so I'll change my review, but as of right now, I just can't recommend it...Show moreShow less

Beautiful game. Me and my 4 years old son play it daily while we chill in the afternoon. Thank you so much for making such a cute game, he really likes the fishies. He cleans the tanks and feeds the fishes. Great game for father and son bonding. 10/10 recommended.Show moreShow less

This game is super cute, does exactly as advertised. But why does it heat up my computer so much? Within a couple minutes of launching the game, it was pouring out heat and burning to the touch. Moments after I closed the game, it cooled off. Other games don't do that to this pc. I'm not seeing other people complain about this, so I'm even more confused. If anyone has any clue, I'd love to hear. Yes, I turned down the FPS and resolution, but that isn't normally a problem for me. Edit: I've played a couple more times (only for about an hour a day) and it runs my pc hotter each time, today it burned me when I touched the case, and the game was stuttering like crazy. Is this game crypto mining? I got it to have a little aquarium on my desktop, but it's just not feasible - it lags out everything else while it's running, too. Seeing as I can only review from my experience, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take back my recommendation until something changes.Show moreShow less

This is, in my opinion, the perfect fish game. - Nice balance between active playing & idling. - fishing minigame - Breeding & genetics. - Screensaver mode & tiny mode to keep on the bottom of your desktop while you do other things. - Very pretty & relaxing. - Social features but you can also play solo. If the devs read this: please add aquatic frogs <3 Edit: This game has gotten even better with each update as they add more fish and QOL features. YAY AQUATIC FROGS!!!Show moreShow less

TL;DR: Tiny Aquarium is an inappropriately optimized and balanced aquarium game that does not let you advance in the game at your own pace. The biggest problem I have with Tiny Aquarium is that I can't play it at my own pace because the game does not let me. Even for simple things like decorations, you need to wait until the shop rotates so it may have the decoration you want. You can leave up to 5 shell-generating (special currency) reactions each day. These shells can be utilized to buy fish from other players. I quite like this aspect, but hate it at the same time, since it takes too many days to afford a fish, since there is a minimum price (in shells) you can sell a fish for. Why can't I place fish for a very low price? Why can't I gift them to people who look at my aquariums? I hate the currently implemented shell system. Some UX features are not appropriately implemented. Every time I try to click a fish to select it, the collision detection doesn't work properly. For example, to breed fish, you need to select two fish and click their breeding icons, but the collisions make this really counterintuitive. It is a real pain to breed two creatures, especially when they are bottom dwellers or shrimp, because then you have the trouble of them going in between the decorations, which also register your clicks, making it really hard to select fish. The optimization is terrible. Every time I buy something from the shop, the FPS drops drastically for a fraction of a second. It is the same when I try to feed my fish; every time I drop a pellet, the game's FPS drops drastically. I can't even properly close the game; it crashes every time I try, and then closes itself after a while, which is not short. Overall, although I appreciate the variety of fish and decorations, it is horrible that I'm not able to advance in the game at my own pace, faster or slower, due to the limitations the inappropriately balanced online aspects bring, so I can't recommend it unless the problems I mentioned do not bother you.Show moreShow less
