sudofish Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Looks cool. The developer appears to be very responsive in the feedback too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it does seem they are aware of improvements that can be made, so I'm really looking forward to seeing where they go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 @xXInkedPhoenixX, @GameCzar, you can take silly risks in games. I drive a car in real life, but I also play Forza and DIRT. The latter two don’t show up on my insurance. I haven’t tried this aquarium game, but it might be a fun experiment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Well @Streetwise, I can totally appreciate that answer.....silly risks in gaming life though still not the same as the experience even not taking risks in real life. And even if it's something you can do in a game (let's say jumping a river in a vehicle or putting a pirahna in a tank with guppies) isn't the same as real life (which would likely have bad consequences lol). I've played Mario Kart, but actual go-carting is sooooo much more exciting! All that to say, gaming is fun, I wouldn't dispute that for people (not for me) but it's not the same as OWNING an aquarium- if someone played it and never had an aquarium I'd totally get it. So I was just askin if there was a reason I wasn't seeing. 😉 @GameCzar's answer though, is perfect, love it 😄 My sister used to play Sims, she had fun making her people jump in the pool and taking away the ladder. 😵 Edited January 24, 2022 by xXInkedPhoenixX Typos are lame 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 This game has a campaign mode where you accept jobs to set up tanks for customers, so thats a neat challenge to do a specific aquascape. It also has a sandbox mode where you can try out whatever you want as far as stocking and aquascaping. There's a lot of nuances the game doesn't have yet, but it does have parameters, temps, and tanks require cleaning, etc. Or you can just put it on casual mode and nothing dies lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Casual mode seems perfect for me. Then I can have my Pirahna/Guppy tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudofish Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I've heard of truck drivers who play Euro Truck simulator, which is an awesome game if you've never played it. I fish occasionally in real life but one of my favorite games is fishing planet, which is just a fishing simulator lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Showing my age but I used to play Burgertime AND also made burgers at home, lol. My kids played those games where you had to take care of virtual pets, while laying in their bedroom which had bunnies, hamsters, kittens, dogs, fish and triops. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I've been looking into this game or one like it; however I've got even tighter time constraints, so I'll have to stick to the limits of what I can imagine.) It all costs money and takes up room in my house! In 2020 some racing leagues were turning to esports racing to compete virtually. It's pretty clearly not the same thing (regardless of what the marketing copy on the box may say) and there was one case of a driver getting fired from his team after hiring a professional sim racer to impersonate him in a virtual race. Wild stuff! And maybe something to be careful of if we ever do a virtual aquascaping challenge... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castiel Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Why do all the awesome games have to not be available on iOS. Mega Aquarium on steam is another fun one that is available on iOS though and while the base game doesn't have a lot of customizable stuff there are a ton of mods with custom fish, genetics, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodbye, family values, hello petty theft! I never had an arcade within walking/biking distance growing up. My parents wouldn't drive me because my mom didn't like arcades. She thought they were wretched hives of scum and villainy. That and at the time child abduction was on the nightly news every night. The country was like in a panic almost with the Adam Walsh thing happening and the Atlanta stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
