Perhaps due to the influence of click-and-place games such as “Cookie Clicker”, many desktop placement games make people want to click and click to speed up, but the purpose of Steam’s placement game “Fantasy Aquarium” seems to be just to make people want to speed up. People relax and try to be patient.
“Fantasy Fish Box” is a pixel fish tank simulation placement game produced by independent developer MOON SCAPE. It was initially released and attracted the attention of many players who love aquarium themes. The trial version of this game was launched at the Steam New Product Festival today (15th). Currently, it is only available English version.
The gameplay of “Fantasy Fish Box” is also very simple. It only costs 20 yuan at the beginning, which is enough to buy a level 1 fish card pack from the cute shop girl. After opening it, you can see your fish swimming freely in the fish tank.
Then, anxiously, I began to think about how I could earn the next 20 yuan quickly and open another card pack. However, I searched all the buttons on the upper row, and there was no way to get money.
The only way is to wait for the fish to grow up. When I noticed the information card that appeared after clicking on the fish, the screen accumulated numbers bit by bit. I originally thought they were experience points, but then I realized that the numbers represented time.
Yes, 600 is 600 seconds, which is 5 minutes, and 900 is one and a half minutes. Then I saw a fish that needed 14400 (4 hours), and I even saw a small fish that needed 172800 to grow up, which is 48 Hour.
As mentioned before, there is no way for you to make money quickly. The only thing you can do is to wait for the fish to grow up, then sell the fish to make money, and then buy another card pack.
Maybe because of this, I relaxed instantly, because I didn’t have to click as hard as clicking games like “Cookie Clicker”, I just needed to relax and watch, and use this time to do other things.
After he came to his senses, he discovered that the fish he had just raised had grown up. By the way, when the number of fish increases, the money in the upper left corner will start to beat slowly, but the speed is still quite slow.
According to the introduction of “Fantasy Fish Box”, you can also purchase decorations or change the background in the aquarium later in the game. None of this can be done quickly. Everyone can only slowly accumulate from scratch, even if the game does not set a so-called end point ( After collecting the fish illustrations), just watching the fish swim around is one of the fun things about the aquarium theme.
The Steam placement simulation game “Fantasy Fish Box” has launched a demo version on Steam. Currently, a total of 30 species of fish are included. Interested players can add it to their wish list or download it to try it out.
