fun at first, but quickly hit a wall in progression. its a good game to play for like 20-30 minutes at a time and then leaving it for a bit before coming back

April 2024

This is more of a sideways thumb. I really like this game! But there are things about it that annoy me. After a few hours of playing it becomes glaringly obvious that progression hits an actual wall very early on which makes it extremely unfun. If you're ok with not playing a game for several days while you wait for your fish tanks to generate money, then it's probably a good time! For people who like to actively play their games, it's frustrating. If this were a true idler, then it wouldn't be so bad. But since there is no way to auto-feed the fish or have functions idling aside from the fish existing, I can't say with a straight face that this is a true idle game. Pros: * An interesting and very 'Chillquaium' * A lovely variety of fish complete with painted and golden variations. This was particularly special to me as an Aquarist. I've been caring for fish since I was a little girl so it was really cool to see all the species that I had come to know and love. * Achievements Cons: * 'Upgrades' cost way too much and just don't do enough * Trying to feed baby fish in a mostly full tank of adults is nearly impossible * Decorations are actually useless so they are a waste of money * Once you get your first saltwater tank, progression basically stops because the amount of money needed to get the next pack of fish takes actual IRL days to save. The bad sort of outweighs the good here, but I'll still leave a positive review because there is still a lot of good here, it's just not really for me. I recommend this, but **only** on a 75% off sale. Which may seem harsh, but it is what it is. Purchase at your own discretion darlings. <3

If you enjoy completing a collection, opening card packs, and seeing numbers get bigger and bigger, you will probably love Chillquarium. What started as a throwaway impulse purchase for me ended up being a beloved chill game into which I sunk 100+ hours. And now I get to enjoy my tanks full of coveted rainbow and golden fish variants in screensaver mode. Nice.

This is probably one of the best games to soothe my autism about fish. Simple, fun, and chill. Progression is slow, but that's expected for a game where the main appeal is to sit back, relax, and feed funny fish idly. Personally, I wish the game encouraged collecting every fish a bit more. Specifically having an encyclopedia of sorts allowing you to check which painted variant of fish you've unlocked and ones that are still missing. My main goal in the game is the collection aspect, buying packs with the in-game currency and acquiring every variant and golden fish I can. But it's made hard with the lack of knowing what I'm missing and already have. It would be very convenient to have a way to keep track of everything I've gotten. Regardless of that one thing, I enjoy this game thoroughly and I adore having it open in the background.

Very easy game to drop in and out of. You start with an empty aquarium that you buy packs for which give you 4 random fish, each fish gives a certain amount of money per (real-time) day. Once you get enough money you can buy more aquariums and fill them with fish to increase your daily earnings even more. With a recent update they added a "Less clicking" mode which helps you make your fish grow up faster without having to spam or autoclick, otherwise they will just grow up overtime (with some rare/mythical fish taking up to 7 days). Only real downsides are the lack of music variety and because the fish packs are RNG you won't always get the ones you want & you'll have to grind a few packs to get the more rare ones to finish off your discovered species. Very chill game overall and there are options to make the aquarium like a screensaver which is nice.
