This is insane! I can already imagine the missions where those mechanics will be useful.

Team called me crazy for adding algae harvest, glowing plankton & worm farming to a desktop aquarium...

but real aquarists prune plants daily!🌟

It's a satisfying maintenance loop: trim, collect, watch your tank thrive while you work.

Who else loves realistic cozy care?💖

You remove the clownfish from the anemone... He swims back.

Because that’s his home. That’s his safe place.

Just like AquaSim, your cozy desktop aquarium that never wants to leave you. 💕

coisa boa eim!

Just saw two seahorses falling in love 😭💕

They swam toward each other, met in the middle… and suddenly a few tiny babies appeared next to them!

Who else is getting emotionally attached to their pet?

Which Betta would you add to your desktop aquarium right now? 🐟

Crowntail Blue 💎
Pink Dragon 🔥
Royal Lavender 💜

All three are already in AquaSim a cozy passive desktop pet simulator that lives in a small window while you work or study.

Which one is your favorite?

Seadevil Anglerfish, now fully alive in AquaSim

Watch her lure pulse in the dark layers while she silently watches you work.

Creepy? Yes.
Cozy? Surprisingly yes.

The vertical movement mechanics look incredible! The alley climb feel super satisfying and creative. Really nice work!

The deadliest sniper in your aquarium 🏹🐟

This Archerfish shoots water jets from its mouth to capture pray out of the water.

Real-life behavior, now in your Windows desktop.

Who wants this little assassin in their tank?

This electric eel has a favorite spot

It loves resting on the living rock…

And if you watch closely, you can use that moment to collect coins from the chest

Little behaviors = hidden strategies

#indiedev #gamedev #cozygames #simulation

This fish refuses to stay in the water…

It literally flies across your aquarium

And yes it does this while you're not even playing.

#indiedev #gamedev #cozygames #simulation

Thanks! Glad you liked the scared stretch animation😆
We tried to keep the Abyssals creepy but still kinda cute and not too overwhelming for a cozy game.
Appreciate the feedback!

I feel the same.
Bluesky is great for dev support and feedback, but tougher for actual players.
We're a very small team, so I'm not sure yet, but growth on X has been 3x faster.
Still finishing our Steam page before pushing on Reddit, that one i think it's better for reaching real players.

Here's a new animation we just made

Too scary for cozy or exactly the right amount of spice?

Abyssals are being implemented right now
