Customer Reviews
Great app, the best as apps go.
This game really is great, just like the pc version for fish tycoon, and the fact that you can buy it for $1.99 is amazing. As I have been playing this game more often, I have noticed that this is not as much of as a fish keeping game- it’s a strategy game. As I played the free version of the online game, I just thought this was one of those games that was another one of those virtual fish keeping games where it had really nothing to do with fish keeping. But as I look more deeply into the game I have noticed that it may be a fish keeping game on the surface-but it really is a full time strategy game. You see here you take risks, and make money, and strategize (even though fish keeping has a lot of stuff like that, too). That is why this game is so great. If you just look at the cover- like I used to do with fish keeping, and especially this, you won't like it. You will have to be dedicated to this game to make things happen. Discover things, breed fish, and have fun! Come on! Its only $2! (Actually $1.99), and the save game bug is fixed. What are you waiting for! You don't even have to keep fish!
Fantastic Fun
Plusses:
1) Great Graphics
2) Deep Gameplay
3) Good Strategy and levels
Minuses:
1) Second tank is prohibitively expensive and delays the more challenging levels.
2) "sick" fish need to be more easy to diagnose. With the small graphics on the screen the fish's ailment isn't clear
3) Should be at least one free hospital tank
All in all this is one of my favourite games on the iPod.
Helpful hint
Hey guys if u are having trouble and are impatient with this awesome game make ur fish pregnant and then set the clock on ur I touch of phone three hours ahead and when u go back u will have all adult fish to breed and sell I have spent well over twenty seven thousand dollars in the game and I highly reccomend upgrading fish enviornment before anythin else and if u have a delicate hybrid fish who's health is steadily decreasing use it to make another fish pregnant and then sell the hybrid fish so it will be someone elses problem hoped I helped oh and by the way magic fish are bred with certain fish with certain fins and could possibly be a random fish in the eggs bit don't go and spend all ur money on eggs have fun figuring the genetic code out yourself and good luck this game is so much fun and well worth two bucks
