Mermaid Colony

The concept is interesting, but the actual gameplay is as murky as the waters themselves. You have a lot of mermaids that apparently you have to give individual tasks to over and over to get them to work, and the tasks are creating items within a large production chain where it's not clear what you want, or why, or how you set it up. Also, there's an attack every five minutes or so, so you better get right on telling your mermaids what to do right away! This game has a tutorial which is a pop-up screen that tells you things, but it doesn't do it in a logical, building progress - it's as if someone cut a rulebook into paragraphs and reads you a random paragraph every two minutes. Build houses! No, you can't build there, and it won't tell you why. But it will now tell you that you need a Gem Cutter to cut your gems. Are you producing gems to be cut? Do you need to? Do you know how? Do you know why you need gems? The UI is completely unclear on it, and the tutorial blurb is unhelpful. Beyond that, there are lots of unhelpful aspects to the UI. Clicking on the menu automatically brings you to the main screen, so you have to reload your game. There's no information on how to scroll around the map to see what's around - eventually I figured out that I could right-click and drag but it's amazing to me the game doesn't bother to naturally scroll with mouse movement or arrow keys. Maybe eventually this game will get a UI overhaul that provides clearer information to make the game more intuitive. Or maybe it will get a better tutorial that breaks the game down into components, explains those components, and then builds piece by piece into overall understanding. But for right now, disappointingly, it's not worth your time.

说实在话操作上还是不方便的，可以不可以添加暂停键啊。刚进入游戏，提示很少，完全摸不透怎么玩呢？比如，新孵化的种植者为什么不会去那个贝壳农场啊？ 现在还是不建议购买游玩，因为会一头雾水。希望制作者后期可以再调整一下吧。

So far game is nice. I waited a bit for this one since I like colony builders. I will go more into it but if u like this type of game I recommend.

我希望出个没有菌团的上帝模式，真的菌团太烦了！！

Honesty, i love this game, The style is unique and it is a pretty good survival/ management game. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who likes Mermaids/ underwater city management. Although, it is on the harder/ slow side of the spectrum, but once you get things going its not so hard. Don't forget to plant a crap ton of kelp forests near the darkness because it seems to stop the darkness from spreading.

Very challenging mermaid colony simulator. I have a tough time managing the resources but it satisfies my desire to have a mermaid fish tank. Look forward to the progression once i have a better grasp on it. Would be nice if there was a sandbox mode for those that don't want to deal with resources or the constant repairs made necessary by the earthquakes. Some of us would enjoy just building our perfect colony without conflict. Would be even nicer if there were mermen too.

Buggy and probably abandoned. Dont buy unless on discount, and probably not even then. There are better options

I like the game. The graphics are simple but the base building / survival mechanics are solid and winning is very challenging. I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to the game genre but if you're looking for a challenge, I think you'll have a good time. Beating the game took me about 8 hours (alternating between normal and 2x speed) but I restarted a few times as I got more comfortable with the mechanics.

Got this on sale a while back. Pretty fun, but buggy which can make things frustrating! I had a good time building things and testing strategies - the game's help for every item/building is really nice, but it can be tricky getting the order of the workshops right. The sound design and art direction is nice. I've also put up a guide with what I learned to help you out if you're having trouble getting started or earning a particular achievement. :3 To improve the game, I would really some key bugs fixed and the behaviour of the haulers and builders streamlined/less buggy. I'd also like faster game options, but I suspect that's a bit of a pipe dream. For that I don't recommend you buy it at full price, but it's worth a play if you like colony sims and mermaids! Which I really, really do. Thanks, dev~! c:
