Chillquarium lets you breed and sell fish in real time to accumulate profits and unlock cosmetic tank upgrades. The core draw is collecting rare and color-variant fish through a gacha system while your aquarium generates passive income, though the manual feeding loop becomes repetitive without sufficient mechanical progression to justify continued engagement.
About this game
Chillquarium is a cozy and relaxing idle game. Buy fish and raise them in real time, then sell them to turn a profit! Customize your aquarium as you progress from a simple starter tank to your dream setup by filling your collection with rare exotic fish and ultra-rare color variants!

dev added a "less clicking" option and made it infinitely better for people with hand damage like me
Cute game with a ton of potential but no additional updates/content from the developer.
Pros: - Cute fishes - There's a gacha system so you get that dopamine hit, they come in different rarities too - Your fishies make more money than you
Cons: - It is VERY repetitive and grindy, the manual feeding upgrades are insanely overpriced for how little impact they make - Aesthetic upgrades like lights and sand sorely need a facelift and more variety, I see no reason to use anything other than white light cause the other options just strongly tint the aquarium. Also the bottom of the tank is too dimly lit, would be nice if decorations that emit light existed - The decorations mostly look awful, I feel like the artstyle is a weird mix of trying to be pixelated but also anti-aliased at the same time - UI is a bit cumbersome for managing larger amounts of fish and transferring them to other tanks
Would rate this review as neutral if possible.
If you like idle games, play stuff like Melvor Idle

As of today, the game is available for early access on Android, and pre-registration on iOS! Big shoutout to the folks at Snapbreak for their publishing support.It’s been a huge amount of work getting a Chillquarium port running on mobile. Honestly, it has been a much bigger undertaking than what I initially realized. Godot is overall a really wonderful game engine, but its native support for mobile development is still getting there in a lot of ways. There have been a lot of tasks which seem simple that wound up taking weeks of banging my head against the computer. But all of this effort has definitely been worthwhile! I've been testing the game on my phone lately -- it has been a long time since I've really played my own game -- and I have to say it's pretty fun! It has been nice to sort of rediscover that with some fresh perspective. I hope you all have as much fun...
