About
🐠✨An aquarium right on your screen✨🐠🐟 Fish live on your desktop!
Your desktop turns into a cozy aquarium where fish swim over your games, your work, or whatever you’re doing, bringing a gentle and playful vibe to your day.
Designed for idle play, Desktop Fishes lets you enjoy a relaxing aquarium experience at your own pace. Your fishes will thrive even when you're busy doing other things
Every fish starts as a tiny egg. You’ll see them wiggle, hatch, and slowly grow into adults — each stage is its own little moment to enjoy.
Give your fish some style with hats, glasses, and fun accessories, making each one feel unique and full of character.
Let your fish reproduce and pass down traits to their babies. Some inherit colors and patterns from their parents, while others show up with rare mutations. There are over 10,000 possible genetic combinations!
Your aquarium grows seaweed fast, and it’s up to you to cut it back! Luckily, your fish munch on the extra plants, helping you keep the tank clear and lively.
A strange but merchant with plenty of goods. Buy food, toys, and odd accessories that add charm (and weirdness) to your aquarium.
Expand your aquarium through a set of upgrades. Unlock perks, change the behaviour of your fish, and customize your experience however you want!
Choose how your aquarium lives on your desktop. Let the fish swim over your windows like an overlay, or place them behind everything as a living wallpaper.
Dive into the fun, explore endless fishy combinations, and bring your desktop to life with your own vibrant, swimming friends!

This game's content is mostly passive and can be completed in about 2 days. The active parts will take a few hours, mostly at the start. You're populating an aquarium with fish, hatching them from eggs. There are many types of fish and cosmetics to discover. The discovery process is mostly automated. You gather "dollars" from automatically-growing grass which you use to buy eggs, cosmetics, love food (to make fish breed), and poison. If you focus on the obvious advancements at the start, you'll gain grass at a steady pace and you can leave the game on and spend dollars as you get a big pile. At least on my aquarium, the fish tend to group up on the right, with not many fish on the left. The grass in the lower-left section is rarely automatically eaten by the fish due to this. I'm unsure whether this is intentional. There are many more fish on the right than the left. The developer said they were going to release another patch and then seems to have completely disappeared. Everything is in an undetailed pixel art style. Your aquarium won't really look like an aquarium. The fish have white and black borders around them, probably because the game can be overlaid over your desktop, web browser, etc, and the developer wanted to increase visibility, but it makes the fish all look like stickers that are floating around instead of actual fish. The snails and eggs are barely animated but most things aren't animated at all. Sometimes the images will "squish" or stretch a little bit to simulate.. something. Overall I think this game is good if you want an easy idle-clicker type game and don't mind spending money. The amount of gameplay is very small and once you've played the game for about 30 minutes you've seen all there is.
Nice cute little game :)
игра очень хорошая но после вылета пк сломалась ни рыбок ни меню только трава и пузыри прошу исправить это
Very minimalistic, very easy to keep up with, no fish die (as of yet) if you forget about it

Usualmente no Me gusta dejar malas reseñas. De hecho en un inicio pensé en hacer el muy abusivo logro de completar 1000 horas de juego (cantidad que ni le he dedicado a mi juego favorito) Pero cuando me di cuenta de que uno de los logros estaba Bugueado decidí pasar todo por alto y hacer trampa con los logros. Hay mejores Idles alli afuera y con logros menos abusivos que obligarte a pasar 1000 horas conectado
每个鱼的辨识度太低了,还有那一千小时的成就是不是sb,而且太挡画面了 还有就是升级降低商店刷新价格后反而扣的更多不知道为什么 一定要,记得,买,毒药,只能说年少不知毒药好
Combines the action of Doom with the depth of grand strategy games like Stellaris. Villains like the capitalist C.L. Ownfish and the freakish Hunchback Whale make story mode memorable but co-op on the randomly generated maps is pretty great too. I expect that with the success of this game, Paradox Interactive will make a version with twelve hundred dollars in DLC, EA will release a version with "surprise mechanic" microtransactions, and Warner Bros will release a live service version featuring Batman and Shaggy fishes. Makes me appreciate this all the more.) 3/3 - My cat loves it. My toddler loves it. I love it.
I find it to be adorable, soothing and funny. I quite enjoy it
很好的学习与工作伴侣,设计人性化,并且画风很棒,有趣优质的游戏,推荐
