Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
gameplay basis is still the same as other aquarium simulator out there, like feeding your fish, cleaning your aquarium, buying fish eggs and letting them grow. it also has real-time management where the fish will go hungry if you don’t feed them. and luckily there’s a freezing time feature in this game, so if you really want to stop turning on your pc for a couple of days or weeks, yea this game is really for you.

I have four aquariums in real life, so when I found a game that mixes fish keeping with decorating, idle gameplay, AND a gorgeous pixel art style, I was immediately sold.

You can sit in a lobby and play whats essentially the Stardew Valley fishing game for a while.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
well gameplay aside, you can buy items from the market, fish food upgrades, cleaning tools, tank decorations, daily quests, daily login. visit your friends or random people tanks, you can also fish with multiplier or alone, that one is out of my expectation tho. you can also buy fish from other players which they have in the in-game community market where you can sell fish to get a multiplier currency for specific items you want. it was a cool and warm feature that we all should agree is not a bad thing. love it so far.
