What players say
Players uniformly call the game abandoned and unfinished, with development stalled around 2024. While the screensaver mode and detailed water parameters have fans, the game is plagued by bugs, crashes, and a lack of content. Water chemistry is unrealistic and frustrating, and those who enjoyed it often point to better aquarium sims like Aquarium Designer.
