Lumping this in with other casual precision clicker games, in this one you have to feed fishies, collect coins, every fish will die after a while if not fed, and getting more fish is how you control difficulty and speed up the game, you unlock things for your aquarium as you beat levels, and sometimes you have to fight off aliens. All in all very satisfying experience, nice sound effects that dont annoy you despite being repetitive, cute fishies, the game is getting a little pixelated by today's standards but still went full screen and everything worked out smoothly.

I recommend this game

There's something fishy about this game. ...

My toddler loves to watch me play it, though.

So yeah, thumbs up. 10/10 would play "the fish game" again if child asks me to.

Beat the game in two days while sharing library with my mom on vacation away from my rig, so don't be fooled by the lack of playtime. Before I had this game on steam I had it on Real One Arcade; Works well on all computers with a few bugs because it's an older game. Game has a lot of funny moments.

Beating the game only takes about a half to a full day, but with how hard earning shells is in the game as opposed to coins, 100% the bonus pets add a bit more time. The game bundles for real cheap and is a lot more fun than these flash-like games on steam.

If you ever wanted to keep fish but were worried about how to deal with the inevitable alien tank invasions which would occur multiple times a day, this game will be perfect practice for you!

I remembered how much I loved this game in middle school, and now I have found it again! It's still as fun as I remember. lol. It's just a relaxing game, nothing hard about it. Naming the fish and saving money to buy new things for the tank is fun.

Ahhh I remember playing this game as a kid. It was one of my favorite computer games, if not THE favorite at the time. I really love this game! It might be an aquarium game, but the twists this game puts into it makes it great.
Buy fish, feed fish, watch them give you money, get more fish, get fish that eat those fish giving more money, etc =
Profit
This game also has aliens! Every now and then, an alien will pop up in the tank, and you have to kill it before it kills all your fish. There are several different aliens and ways to beat them. Normal ones, ones you need to feed to kill, two headed, rocket launching and more.
There are four different tanks, five levels for each one. You can also play a timed version of said tanks, where the objective is to collect as much money as you can in a short amount of time, some of it going to your virtual tank. The vitrual tank is basically a normal, virtual fishtank. It's what it sounds like. For this tank you earn shells, which you do NOT earn as quickly as simple coins in the main game. Every day new fish are for sale, and if you are lucky, you might even find some color changing ones. There is also challenge, which you can play after beating the main game (which I have never gotten to. Never got that far.)
To end each level you need to buy the three parts of the egg, the eggs getting more and more expensive as you go on. After doing so, you get a new pet. You can have three active at once, and they can do several things. Feed your fish, gather money, fight of aliens, give you new fish, make money, and more. There are also very expensive bonus pets you can buy for shells.
At first it's pretty slow, but once you get a lot of fish in your tank towards the end of the levels, it can get pretty hectic, especially later on. You will need to click constantly! Switching from collecting as much money as you can to feeding your fish so they don't die, to making sure the fish with more special needs don't die, and fighting off the occational alien.
This game is awesome, and I would highly recommend it. It might be a bit old, but it's fun nonetheless.

I used to play this game on my first computer, and buying it again for the nostalgia was totally worth it. It's just too bad the screen saver doesn't work with newer operating systems. You can find the file that opens the screen saver and open it manually whenever you leave your computer, but it's just not the same as having it come on automatically.

Definitely a fun game, try it out you'll see!
