Our take on Aquarium Designer
Rather than centering on expansion, combat, or resource conflicts, this simulation turns aquarium decoration and animal care into its main structure. Client briefs provide objectives, while separate creative modes replace the campaign progression common in management games with open-ended tank building.
What is Aquarium Designer?
Aquarium Designer is a simulation game about planning, building, and stocking fish tanks.
In the client mode, players read design briefs, select tank shapes and sizes, install filters, water conditioners, and air pumps, then add gravel, decorations, and aquatic species. Completed projects earn money for purchasing additional elements. Assignments can involve aquariums for restaurants, hotels, offices, or private residences. Fish species have different needs and require suitable conditions. The game also includes two creative modes, Casual and Realistic, for making personal tanks and trying different configurations. Tank sizes range from small fish tanks to large aquariums, with species such as angelfish, bettas, and goldfish.
