Game is dumb fun and I love it plus it gave me carpel tunnel as a bonus
this game made me pregnant
best game ever made
its peak
It's aight. I like how chaotic it gets but it's fairly tedious and each series of levels is just the same level but longer. Do NOT play this without an auto-clicker unless you want to get carpal tunnel.
This and PvZ are the reason I play video games. Still holds up.
This is a game from my childhood that I kinda assumed would be shit because most games I played as a child were kinda shit, but this was pretty fun. Employs a lot of ideas present in every evil mobile games nowadays, but its pretty charming to see them in this infantile state. I guess this is my favourite EA franchise now.

I swear to god this game is trying to give me carpal tunnel.
Look, it's good in theory. Aside from the massive dose of nostalgia I got when I booted the game up and did tank 1, reminiscent of when this game was a flash game on MSN Games (a simpler time..), the first tank and most of the second tank is straightforward and fun. Use the types of fish available to collect money and buy the egg. The prices stay low early on, and your tank doesn't overcrowd easily unless you're grinding.
Then Tank 3 and Tank 4 introduce aliens with a lot more health, more esoteric fish types (the beetlemuncher is.. a lot, and the breeders make things difficult), and crank up the egg prices to insane degrees. You better have the fastest clicking speed in the world to finish.. or use a script to turn your mouse into the equivalent of a turbo controller. And then every level becomes the same: set up your tank while defending against the initial waves, get to a semi-stable population where an alien attack won't game over you, max out food, max out your gun, then let the population explode. Buy all three egg pieces. It becomes very formulaic where the only thing each new level adds at a certain point is more time, which is a damn shame because the early game is fun but this game doesn't handle extrapolation well and the challenge isn't really there - it's fake difficulty.
And then the final boss is more or less trivial unless you somehow got there without using a turbo clicker - a genuinely impressive feat, but anyone who can handle 4-5 can handle 5-1, there's less clicking and less to take care of. I understand the final boss is ceremonial more than anything, but honestly it would've been better as a joke-cutsene or if they just capped it off at 4-5.
The first two tanks still rule, but honestly this game is probably more fun in its flash version if you can find it archived on the internet anywhere.

Aquarium a sperme
boludooo en la casa de la abuela era clave
To the Joker this would be a normal aquarium.
Out of all the milked franchises. I wish this one had sequels because I was so in love with this game way back.
One of the rare clicker games where you actually have to click. A lot. Carpal tunnel inducing, but pretty darn fun tbh. Classic PopCap really doesn't miss.

If you like the original PvZ you'll enjoy this. Simple concept with hard as balls gameplay after the third tank. My only complaint is that I wish there were steam achievements- there are clear in-game landmarks and I want to be able to flaunt beating tank 4 to my friends, dammit.

Fun little carpal tunnel simulator for the first few tanks, however it becomes a nightmare towards the later tanks. The time spent playing it all the way through will never be returned to me.
I dont fucking play about this game
I truly do miss PopCap and their crazy ass game concepts. I also miss the feeling I had on my fingers before playing this clicker hell.
my friend naomi gave me crack for 99 cents. jesus christ.
Popcap is usually one of those companies where they kind of hit their boom early on and then everything after in the modern age is either Kinda Cool or an utter anti-consumer dumpsterfire

Insaniquarium is kinda like this
I was already versed in plants vs zombies, bejeweled and peggle games
But this kinda just EXISTED to me without me even havin tried it before and it is HELL.
Its fun
But its also hell
I think one thing I wish was really different about it was spicing up the tank gimmicks
You got about four different tanks with five different levels and a final boss to tie it off into a neat little bow
but really I think the fourth one is the only one that does it in a drastic way because its a lot easier to get run up on by monsters and have your fish snuft out when youre relying on Pregos(the like.. the birthing fish tht pump out the guppies)
and the money flow is slower
I like the tank with the starcatchers a lot too though! I think the game atleast is throwing enough aliens in rotation with enough Pet variety to keep it from getting BORING
despite this game not bein too terribly long, i wound up taking a couple breaks and finished it in like 3 playing sessions because my finger was getting tired from clicking. You use leftclick for fucking EVERYTHING in this game, to the point where i think it genuinely mightve been better to experience this as an app game or something. But im chillin.
final thoughts:
its war.
krillions will be devoured and need to be fed to reach the egg of power. an enthralling battle after battle in each tank you set fin in. you may click fast, Strong even, owllunchers. But they are beyond strength.
Death? It's meaningless.
my favorite pets were the clam, the mermaid and the shark
but s/o to Angie the MVP
that final boss goes hard asf

fish
This was one of the first games I ever played. PopCap was a huge part of my very early childhood and I'm glad people still remember and play this game.
so chill and hurts hand
Pico de los videojuegos
I LOVE I SANAAQUIAISMRMRMI YEYEYEE E E E E. E YYYEYEEE E E. E SS S. S S S S
Who would have thought owning fish could be so fun
SO MUCH FUCKING FUN I LOVE THIS INSANE AQUARIUM I LOVE SHOOTING ALIENS N SHIT I LOOOOOOOVE FEEDIN MY LIL FISH YEAHHHHHHHHHH
This is the childhood game. if youve played pvz and want something more relaxing but just as outlandish and silly go play this.
If you don't turn it off because of the boring first level you're in for one of the best games. It's incredibly fun and addicting, the only criticism i have is that the later levels become VERY mashy/ clicky especially the final boss
sane aquarium
i had fond memories of this as a child, but coming back to it as an adult.. holy fuck this game is boring
The BEST click spam game ever made, no contest. Carpal tunnel syndrome was never this fun to get.
