And now for a brief essay I would like to call: Why I'm doing this today instead of tomorrow......I screwed up the Adventure Workshop review real bad, I put the wrong content in the wrong game and now on with the review already in progress

ah, does anyone remember a time where you could download games off the internet, not really caring if you caught a virus or not? I do! I would download games all the time, even though they weren't full version (basically you will be allowed to play the game for about an hour and then when times up you have to pay for the game, some games will allow you to add more time like 2-5 minutes for free, depending on where you download them from). PopCap put out some real gems.....literally my first game from them was Bejeweled, but I'm not going to talk about that today, I'm going to talk about Insaniquarium, but what's so exciting about a game about a fish tank? well I'm going to tell you


Story: You are raising goldfish in a strange aquarium where you have to protect them from aliens, oh did I neglect to bring up that the fish in the tank poop coins? the baby guppies don't poop anything but as they grow they eventually poop silver coins, gold coins, and if they survive long enough eventually they poop out diamonds. When you defeat the aliens they eventually turn into Diamonds. There are other fish you can raise like Piranhas but they eat the Guppies (don't buy them unless you have the preggo the mama fish on you and you are satisfied with the number of grown fish you have) however the Piranhas also poop diamonds. In the second round you can feed the fish some formula that will turn them shiny and they poop stars, and then you'll need the star catchers that are basically bottom feeders but they serve a purpose they catch the stars and they turn them into diamonds, but this round also introduces Gus, clicking on him won't defeat him you have to feed him til he dies so upgrade the food often. The third round will have another bottom feeder that pukes up strange looking beetles, not really worth much but if you get the beetle catcher which is a strange looking creature that will turn the beetles into pearls. Oh and get this in the 4th round you won't need the mama fish you will have a preggo fish that will pop out babies CONSTANTLY and you will need those piranha's more than ever, especially when we have this HUGE fish that eats pirahnas and poops out treasure chests. Now why is this all important? you will need the currency for food and weapons upgrades, as well as well as purchasing formula for level 2, and you need to build your egg, every time you finish that egg you get an extra pet you can keep in the aquarium and they can help you out, the Preggo fish can help you save money on fish, Meryl the Mermaid sings and make the fish poop at a fast rate, you will need something like a jellyfish to gather as much as you can or the snail that can catch on the bottom. There are also pets that can help you defeat these aliens like a sword fish, or a whale that can hide the guppies. There are some pets that are kind of pointless like the electric eel, I don't recommend having that in the tank u nless you have the angelfish with you that would revive dead fish. After you've bought all the pets, there are four bonus eggs you can build eggs for for the bucket rounds. Those four pets aren't really essential but there's a nose that can sneeze and delay an alien attack, you can feed this elephant that will give you currency (usually stars a majority of the time, they won't give you coins they'll give you the higher stuff) there's this other one where it can help with alien attacks tossing balls around, but I don't remember what the fourth one provided

Graphics: The backgrounds change every round but the 4th round background is such a graveyard, the final boss round is better to look at than that.

Sound: I love the soundtrack to this game, it's so relaxing especially the soundtrack for Level 1 and 2

Addictive: Well there's a reason I kept downloading and redownloading this game until I had my own physical copy

Depth: Four Levels including the Final Boss round. There's also a bonus feature where you can have your own virtual aquarium where you can name you fish and later sell them at a different rate, and it can act as a screensaver that way your fish will be well taken care of even if you aren't playing the game at the moment

Difficulty: Well it was difficult on my hands I can tell you that, and it does take alot of patience, eventually you will be dealing with aliens that will fire rockets or fireballs at your fish, and there's an octopus that can regain it's health and if you click on it while it's recovering it will regain it's health faster. There was another alien that was brought in in the fourth round but I can't remember what it was.

Post review follow up: This is a very memorable game one of Popcaps best, I mean sure they have bejeweled and Plants vs Zombies and Zuma, but you can't forget something like Insaniquarium. I love it enough to give it a ten

This concludes my review, tune in tomorrow when I review Atlantis The Lost Empire: The Search for the Journal
