How it feels

A randomly generated arcade shooter where you harpoon fish and collect treasure, starting easy but quickly becoming punishing with level setbacks.

What players say

Players describe Aquarius as a simple, addictive twin stick shooter with retro pixel graphics. Its short levels work well in bursts, though a few find it repetitive and note a difficulty spike around the second level.
