Megaquarium
Description
From the creator of Big Pharma comes a brand new economic simulation game. Megaquarium follows in the footsteps of classic theme park management tycoon games and adds an aquatic spin!
A living simulation
Starting with just a few tanks and the most basic of livestock, you’ll grow your aquarium to a thronging metropolis filled with hundreds of guests, tens of staff and a multitude of different aquatic lifeforms, each with their own unique care requirements.
Design your exhibits
Megaquarium features almost 100 different marine species including fish, sharks, crustaceans, corals, jellyfish, other invertebrates and even a turtle! You’ll be spoilt for choice as you design, decorate and populate your tanks.The right staff for the job
You won’t get far without the right staff. Choose who to hire based on their skills and future potential. Will you train up a team of multi-disciplined staff or a set of super-focussed experts? You’ll have to weigh up the pros and cons of each strategy and work out what is right for your aquarium.
Research new animals and technology
As guests experience your displays you’ll earn points which you can assign to discovering new livestock and equipment. Keep upgrading and expanding your aquarium and work your way up to the most prestigious animals and displays in the aquarium industry.Manage your finances
The latest fish might look cool, but have you considered its impact on your aquarium’s bottom line. Tricky animals may require new staff to be hired, expensive fish food or supplements and the best tanks are a hefty investment! As aquarium curator you’ll need to master creativity and economics to succeed.Manage your guests!
Keep your guests happy by providing them with seating, food, drinks and toilet facilities. Then at the end of their visit, direct them through the gift shop to boost your profits!Curator school
Start your career in the campaign mode where you’ll learn everything you need to know about designing and managing an aquarium. Each of the 10 levels challenges you to build an aquarium with unique gameplay conditions and objectives, while new features and concepts are explained along the way.Dive into the sandbox
Next explore sandbox mode where, with customisable settings and a random challenge generator, you can find virtually unlimited fish-related gameplay!Easy to learn, difficult to master
Running an inefficient aquarium is easy. To really thrive and take on the greatest challenges you’ll need a lateral thinking brain and attention to detail. Will you group your animals by food type, water quality or something else entirely? Will you locate your equipment in a centralised hub using pumps or spread them out embracing the zoning system? How will you optimise your layout so that visitors can find your tanks and staff can easily access them?Every decision you make in Megaquarium has consequences. Your choice of animals, filters, tanks, staff and layout all have subtle and far reaching effects on each other. Experiment, adjust, learn, reapply and most importantly, have fun!

86/100
A charming watery theme park management game where fish are friends, not food. Until they eat each other or you forget to feed them.

9/10
A charming management game that's designed entirely for your convenience. Very easy to learn, with enough complexity to keep you entertained for hours.

85/100
Megaquarium is an fantastic tycoon title with a surprising amount of depth. With far more fish, crabs, sponges, and spiny blowfish than I could have expected, it goes further than the usual “set it and forget it” model that most tycoon titles use. The team continues to hammer away at improvements, so here's hoping that they can iron out the last few UI and tasking issues to make this one truly great.

Excelent game
This is an amazing, non-stressful game. The Tool tips are mostly helpful. the graphics are simple but work well for the game. I do wish there was a little more information visible on the UI, and overlays that show ranges that can be toggled easily.

Excellent budget title
For the money this is a no brainer. Surprisingly well made with few bugs and very in depth with the details. It can be a bit frustrating to start with, there are lots of tools to control elements such as how the staff behave that make a big difference but you will only discover them if you go looking. The 2 bigges complaints I would have with this one is firstly, it needs a way to select multiple objects at once. Moving one wall, one filter, one tank etc at a time can become very tedious when you want to redesign the whole aquarium. THe second limitation is replayability. I was pretty engaged in this until I reached the end of the last level, then I couldn't see much point in continuing. Once you have built all the aquarium types and collected all the animals etc there isn't any scope to try different layouts or designs as far as I can tell. Not sure how this could be adddressed, there are (paid) expansions so maybe I will look into those one day.

AI broken AF
The game is fun. It is fun until your Aquarium grows to big. Employees are just running in circles like they can not find a way. Fish start dying without their care. And there are not enough workspaces. You cannot give a workspace for each tank so the problem are multiplying.

Good game
Runs well on my macbook pro, albeit on minimal settings. My only wish is so that tank decorations have visual variantion, because otherwise your aquariums end up being filled with the same rocks and plants over and over.
