A great game to escape from reality because nothing is more unrealistic than gambling your way to obtaining fish-powered passive income.

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

A capitalist aquarium: You have 2 fish You wait for the fish to grow, and you sell the fish You buy more fish with the money, and those grow, which gives an actually significant background earning You repeat the process, and your school (group of fish) multiplies Eventually, you reach the next packs of fish, yet keep on repeating.

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.
