I have played the final build available on decks now and the review stands as it is. Note: This review was originally written off of an "almost" final build of the game. Insaniquarium also has a pleasing theme and good effects. The bad fish and the alien are in perfect contrast to the pleasant fish. I'm not gonna gush about emotional attachment or anything in regards to Insaniquarium, but there is something to be said for making a bad guy truly look the part. Insaniquarium's friendly fish are bright and happy-looking, while the mean Ultravores look incredibly evil. Every tank is almost fiercely colorful in this well-made production. You can also unlock extra stuff, like pets which liven up the place. The Adventure mode offers 15 levels of action, spread across three different tanks, so the scenery keeps changing. The goal of Time Trial is to pick up as much money as humanly possible before the lock runs out. There are two game modes: Time Trial and Adventure. Insaniquarium certainly has a lot to keep gamers coming back to it over and over. When the spaceman makes the scene, you have to scroll the cursor over him repeatedly to blast him back to his dimension. And that's when the game loves to hit you with an alien attack. Fish die, but you have enough money to easily buy a new one and keep the coins coming in. ![]() Soon, you fill the whole screen up with coin-farting guppies, and the screen fills up with coins. Things get easier as you accept that fish will die during the game and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. Trust me, the first few fish you lose are the hardest. But when you start getting nasty fish in the tank, Glu turns out the heat. Fish Tycoon 2: Virtual Aquarium is a free-to-play simulation game where you breed and sell fish, decorate your tank, and make your pet store as awesome as possible. Still, things feel pretty manageable here. Pretty soon, you get a hungry snail that patrols the floor of the tank for any coins that aren't claimed before they hit the sand. During this period, you get the hang of the basics, like moving a cursor around the screen to pick up falling coins. You start out with a singular focus of feeding fish to earn coins, and then you're introduced to buying items, like better food. Insaniquarium lulls you with a leisurely first few levels, but pretty soon, things get frantic on the other side of the screen. And there is plenty of death in Insaniquarium - as fish grow tired and perish, carnivorous fish show up to feast on smaller guppies - not to mention an eventual alien encounter (this is where the "insanity" apparently kicks in). There is some resource management involved, as you try to grow the tank by filling it with fish and food, but you cannot speed too much too fast, or else you cannot sustain the cycle of life and death inside the tank. EA/PopCap gets its own money and we can finally do some nostalgia.Much like Glu's last big hit, Diner Dash, Insaniquarium is more of a balancing act than a traditional puzzle game. I know PopCap has weak DRM protection (time-limited games are way too easy to crack and limit progression is limit progression), but I'd see this as an absolute win for both of us. Zombies, Rocket Mania, Seven Seas, Talismania, TipTop and the Zuma series (1 + Revenge). Personal opinion: I'm still waiting for the 2nd part's PC port), Plants vs. They should include (in an alphabetical order): Alchemy, AstroPop, Atomica, the Bejeweled series (1, 2, Twist, 3), Big Money!, the Bookworm series (OG + the Adventures Duology), Chuzzle, Dynomite, Gyromancer (Square Enix also has a lot of games on GOG, if I'm correct.), Insaniquarium, Mummy Maze, Peggle series (1 and Nights. ![]() ![]() ![]() EA has its own BFG-s like older Need for Speed games, C&C, The Sims, older Battlefield games, etc.īut when it finally happens, they should release it as a "Platinum" bundle, with its own integrated selector software. Instructions: After choosing your three free 'helpers' (you'll have to experiment to find out what they do) drop food to feed your fish by clicking on the tank. Tfishell: Depending on GOG's relationship with EA, while I wouldn't mind seeing Popcap Games here, if GOG do get the chance to bring more games here, they'd be much smarter going after far more highly-desired titles, like big-budget EA games on Steam (Mass Effect 1-2, Dead Space 2, etc.), C&Cs, Sims 1, Theme Park World, Beasts & Bumpkins, etc. Insaniquarium: Insaniquarium is an addictive strategy/arcade game Who knew owning a fish tank could be this exciting and addicting Rated 4 out of 5 with 108 ratings.
