Insaniquarium is an insane fish and fish-tank simulator created by American studio Flying Bear Entertainment and published by PopCap Games.
Insaniquarium Deluxe features pets, various modes of gameplay, and a type of currency called 'shells'. Shells are collected as the game progresses, and they can be used to create a custom Insaniquariumscreen saver, to buy bonus pets or to increase the number of pets allowed in each tank.
Development[edit]
Flying Bear Entertainment first released Insaniquarium as a free, Java-based online game in August of 2001.[3] During development a member of the team purchased a goldfish and examined its movements and behaviour.[4] Development continued over the following year, with continual release of new content and features, culminating in PopCap Games' publication in July 2002 of the second online version.[5] In 2003, Astraware released a mobile adaptation for PDAs,[3] and in 2006 Glu Mobile released one for feature phones.[6]
Insaniquarium App
The latest version, Insaniquarium Deluxe, was released on September 1, 2004 for PC.
Gameplay[edit]
Insaniquarium Deluxe
Players must manage a tank of guppies and other aquatic creatures, and each stage begins with two guppies in the tank or one breeder which creates guppies.[7] Guppies and other fish drop money, which can be collected by the player and used to purchase fish food and upgrades, such as more aquatic creatures, more filling food, and powerful lasers to repel attackers.[8] Each creature must be kept alive by feeding, whether through fish food bought by the player or other species of fish in the tank. In addition to feeding fish, the player must protect the fish from aliens that periodically enter the tank and attempt to eat the fish. The aliens must be clicked on repeatedly with the mouse pointer in order to defeat them.[9] The deluxe version of Insaniquarium contains nine different aliens, but in the original Java version there are four.
Insaniquarium can be played in Adventure, Time Trial, Challenge Mode, or Virtual Tank. A secret sandbox mode can be accessed when the player wins a silver or a golden trophy, by entering the Konami Code at the main menu screen - it allows full access to unlimited amounts of fish, pets and aliens.
In adventure mode, a player advances through five tanks. Tanks 1-4 have five levels but Tank 5 has only one level in which a player must beat Cyrax, the final boss in order to complete the game. In each level the player must earn enough money to buy 3 egg pieces to advance to the next level. For the first time playing the game, at the end of each level of a tank, the player receives a new pet from the egg. Initially, up to 3 pets could be brought to the tank to help the player, though the player could buy the privilege to bring more pets each level later on with more shells.
Time Trial mode restricts the player to completing the first tank in five minutes and in ten minutes for the three subsequent tanks. Egg pieces no longer count towards finishing a level, but instead add a random pet into the tank (always starting with three pets or four if the player buys the four pet limit). Each piece cost doubles the previous one, with the first shell starting at $100, until the shell value is maxed out at $99999 starting from the eleventh shell. The goal of the Time Trial mode is to make as much money as possible; a 5% of the total money earned will be transformed into shells.
Challenge mode is similar to Adventure mode, but the cost of each item on the board rises by 1% for every five seconds of game time. Buying an egg piece resets the cost of all of the items except for the other egg pieces (the current price will freeze), and several seconds afterwards the costs will start to rise again. The difficulty and number of aliens allowed in the tank also rise as time progresses. Unlike in the adventure mode, after five minutes all purchase options are open so that there is no need to purchase specific upgrades or special fish to be able to buy other items or egg pieces.
The virtual tank mode is where a player can use shells earned during the Adventure/Time Trial/Challenge modes to buy virtual fish in the tank. These fish also get hungry but they never die, and instead, they have mood levels in which they get depressed when neglected. All fish in virtual tanks lay shells instead of coins.

I love it when I get to talk about a weird game such as Insaniquarium-Deluxe here. There are many of you probably wondering just what the heck this is. Well it was originally released in the early 00s, but it has had a few releases since then, most notably a mobile one not all that long ago. The game was brought to us from the good folks at PopCap Games and if you have ever played one of their games before (chances are you have) then you will know exactly what to expect here.
Feed Fish, Fight Aliens!
The premise of the game is super freaking weird, but it is one that I really do like. In Insaniquarium-Deluxe are in charge of a fish tank and you need to take care of the fish and fight off the aliens that want to eat/kill the fish. Why an alien race wants to invade you fish tank I have no idea, but it is a fun premise and one that does put a smile on your face and give you the odd chuckle. I do feel it could have done with some animated cutscenes to really nail the story.
Insaniquarium Level 2 3 Walkthrough
The main single-player mode is called Adventure Mode and here you have five tanks that you need to progress through. It is more challenging than you would think and each tank has multiple levels that you need to complete so it will last you a fair while.
Bright And Colorful
The presentation for me is what gives away the fact that this is a game made by PopCap Games. Insaniquarium-Deluxe has a kind of cartoon look to it that I really do like. The fish have a lot of personality to them, just by their designs. I do wish that the soundtrack was a bit better as it can kind of get on your nerves after a while as it feels like you are hearing the same thing over and over again.
Saving The Fish!
The gameplay is all done with the mouse and it is very easy to figure out. You start off with either two fish or a breeding machine that gives you fish. You need to take care of these fish by feeding them and also by blasting any aliens that come into the tank. You can collect money that the fish drop and you can use this to buy new fish, upgrades for your lasers, food and so on. It is a game that is very, very basic, but it is also quite fun and addictive. The kind of game where you can easily waste 30 or so minutes playing it and you will have a good time doing so.
More Fishy Modes
As well as the Adventure Mode, you also have a few other modes to keep you busy. Time Trial is all about clearing out a tank in the allotted amount of time. Challenge Mode gives you some specific tasks that you need to complete before moving onto the next challenge and Virtual Tank is exactly what it sounds like, you get to have a virtual fish tank. There is also a hidden sandbox mode that gives you access to everything the game has so you can screw around and do what you want.
While I will admit that on the surface Insaniquarium-Deluxe looks like a rather shallow experience. The fact of the matter is, this game is a lot of fun and very easy to get addictive too. I do feel that if you want to really get into the game, the newer mobile version might be the way to go. However, if you are looking for something that is fun and easy to get into on your PC, you can do a lot worse than this.
Final Score
Pros:
- The whole game has that PopCap charm to it
- I liked blasting aliens
- The fact the game even has aliens is funny
- It can become very addictive
- There are many different game modes to enjoy
Cons:
- The game could have done with a bit more story
- The sound effects and music can get annoying rather quickly
