How it feels

You watch tiny shrimp and other small critters drift and explore a miniature planted aquarium, a calm and meditative experience about gentle tending.

What players say

Players are charmed by the art and collecting, but they consistently warn that the early game is a grind. Keeping shrimp costs more than they earn unless you sell them, and the game demands frequent feeding and water changes, which contradicts any expectation of an idle experience. The developer has added starter bonuses to ease the beginning.
