Aquarium Designer
English version below.
Wie houdt er niet van om naar een mooi ingericht aquarium te kijken? Aquarium Designer geeft de mogelijkheid op een eenvoudige manier zelf een bak samen te stellen. Diverse formaten aquaria zijn voorhanden en een groot aantal vissoorten. Daarnaast natuurlijk ook planten en materialen als stenen en stukken hout, waarvan de grootte kan worden aangepast. Ook allerlei decoraties ontbreken niet.
Het spel kan op 2 manieren gespeeld worden. De eenvoudige manier, waarbij je alles wat je leuk vindt in een bak stopt, of de ‘echte wereld’ manier, waarbij temperatuur en pH waardes van water, planten en vissen overeen moeten komen. Start je zo’n bak, dan moeten de vissen ook dagelijks gevoerd worden. En je zult zien hoe snel alg verschijnt op het glas!

I’d give this game a 5/10 in its current form.
It’s an ok base game, but a lot of things could improve, and make the experience feel more immersive.
For me, I feel these improvements would help immerse players and further creativity.
-MORE PLANTS
-MORE FISH
-MORE DECORATIONS
-MORE WOOD
-CUSTOM TANK DIMENSIONS
For some reason these areas feel really lacking, the detail on the current inventory is great but it needs expansion to give the player more tools and options. Hopefully more content is planned in future updates.

ABZU
I first heard about ABZÛ not too long ago and was intrigued after finding out that the art director and composer from Journey, along with others who worked on the project had started their own studio and made ABZÛ their first project. The first question I had was, “What exactly is an ABZÛ?” Queue wiki, where an answer awaited:
_In Sumerian culture
In the city of Eridu, Enki‘s temple was known as E2-abzu (house of the cosmic waters) and was located at the edge of a swamp, an abzu. Certain tanks of holy water in Babylonian and Assyrian temple courtyards were also called abzu (apsû).Typical in religious washing, these tanks were similar to Judaism‘s mikvot, the washing pools of Islamicmosques, or the baptismal font in Christian churches._

Koral
Side scrolling environmentally conscious educational puzzle game about coral reefs and oceans, and the human impact on both. A family friendly learning experience for any age. There is enough educational content it could be used in schools as part of a lesson. Now before anyone thinks an educational game is not fun, think again. The education is hidden among the 32 collectibles (shiny white sparkly glow balls) which explain coral reefs and oceans, and the devastation humans are causing. These collectibles can be found over 9 different oceanic environments of the 10 chapters. Each chapter has puzzle elements to them: sea currents, pollution walls, various plant and coral life, volcanic vents and cavern systems.

There are things every medium does well; each with their own potential and set of virtues. For creators, it’s about finding the best way of utilising a medium to amplify their message, whatever that may be.
The proof of gaming’s potential—be it narrative, thematic, or even educational—is now all around us. It has enormous value as an artistic medium and its growth continues to show us what games are capable of. Every year we see games taking on bolder, more innovative, and challenging forms.
Koral, a modest puzzle game with a potent environmental message, is one such form.

planktOs
Broken controls, sluggish perfomance. 0/10
– Real player with 14.9 hrs in game
If you thought that Steamified couldn’t find any more abstract artistic games to feature then you’re dead wrong. Today we feature Blot Interactive’s planktOs and it’s one helluva underwater adventure. That’s what the game is. I can’t describe it any better than that. It’s just very different. For some that will be in a very good way but for others I understand that they may find the game too abstract for their liking. Therefore it’s a work that will divide people. But it is another game that you can essentially relax to and play when you’re stressed.

Guppy
Relaxing fun, especially when you get good at swimming fast.
Controller support didn’t work for me (Steam/Linux) but configured as keyboard instead.
For the price well worth a punt.

Guppy is a poetic game, which lets you control a fish by moving its tail left and right.
No other control is used; and every movement of the tail is propelling the fish in the direction of the movement. Used alternatively, left and right movements allow the fish to progress forward, or any way you so desire; by gauging how much of each movement to produce.
Both the left and right sticks can be used; but the game really shines when shoulder controls are used, epecially the analog ones. I am unsure as if the game is using them in an analog fashion (I think not), but using them feels most natural to me.

My Koi
Very well done virtual fish pond. Excellently realistic graphics and fish movement/behaviour. Good ambient sounds.
Also, the developer is amazingly active and responsive to suggestions. I’ve already seen 2 updates within hours of the suggestion being posted on the forum!
I’ve tried writing a more comprehensive review with a couple of suggestions, but every time click ‘Post review’ the button disappears and nothing else happens. I hope this minimal review is ‘accepted’, and will take up the other points I wanted to make up the forum.

I’ve always wanted a koi pond, but I don’t have the space to put one since I have a small yard. My Koi piqued my interest for that very reason. This is a koi pond simulator, and a great one at that. If you’re expecting a riveting narrative, Michael Bay-esque explosions, and epic fights between good and evil, then My Koi is not the game you’re looking for. If you’re into a relaxing experience, then this is a great option.
Here’s the gist: you’re given three ponds and a limited number of koi to create and put into each pond. You’ll have the ability to feed your koi and watch them grow over time. This doesn’t mean there’s no challenge. One of your koi must hit a certain weight and length milestone in order to unlock more customization options for your koi. You’re also able to put more koi into each pond as you hit these milestones. It incentivizes you to care for your koi daily. You can at least feed the koi once a day, and they’ll be happy.

FISHERY
This could be a very lovely game, I cant recommend it at this point, but I have high hopes this could be getting somewhere.
What I like:
The style is lovely! The fish and plants are stylized to a point to make it look artsy, but you still recognize every species, it is realy beautifully made.
The animations are very cute, the fish chase each other, nibble on plants and decorations, I love it. :)
I like that the fish are breeding and the babys are realy cute.
What I dont like:
I played with one tank for 63 ingame days. In that time I had 3 adult platys and a ton of babys.

I’ve been keeping fish for a long time and it has been my dream to find an, detailed and good fish keeping game. Over the years all the fish keeping games I found were either very old or abandoned. But fishery might finally be the game. It has many things already added so it’s a perfect early access game. It does lack a lot of stuff. But it is still good enough to provide you fun until new updates roll out. Fishery already provides the things you would want in an aquarium game. It already has 18 fish species that are for now mostly freshwater and it has 17 plant species that come in different sizes and variants. There are lots of decoration items that help you create the aquarium you always wanted. There are around 10 substrates. I think they can add more into substrates. Such as different substrates being beneficial for different situations. Or they can just add more substrates or even substrate mixing. One of my favorite features of fishery is the plumbing system. Not only it is unique but the idea of being able to hide all the filtration and heaters an all that stuff is amazing. And lastly something no other game has (At least from what I’ve played.) breeding. So far there is a single gamemode. Sandbox. But a career mode is coming. I would say if you so far like this game consider a few things: First it’s early access so there is a possibility you might not find the content you need. Second the game is slightly more detailed for some people. Third if you love saltwater more there aren’t many fish or plant variants yet.

Hello Y’all!!!
You know me from the classic that is “Puzzles for Smart - Horses” and Im here to tell you - THIS IS IT!
The makers sure know how to put the most adorable horses and fishes and isolate them in this unique puzzle game for the whole friend group!
This time I played it by myself but it absolutely didnt take away my enjoyment - in fact I encourage it! Just me and this game gave me time to truly appreciate the game for what it is. Fishes are of course not as captivating as horses so there’s that but I cannot recommend this game enough!
