Under the blue horizon

🧜‍♀️Under The Blue Horizon Review 🪸

Such a cosy and relaxing game. I absolutely loved the art style and the pastel colours, which give the game a wonderfully calming vibe.

There are about 42 different fish to unlock, and the progression system is quite fun. You need to harvest a specific number of certain fish in order to unlock the next ones, which adds a nice sense of achievement. If you’ve played Rusty’s Retirement before, the mechanic will feel familiar to you.

You can also unlock other characters, each of whom adds something new to the game. For instance, one character unlock a clam tab that generates currency over time, while another unlocks a coral tab, which spawns specific fish based on the coral you place. My favourite has to be DJ Octo—he unlocks the music tab, and the soundtrack in this game is absolutely brilliant. The music is cosy, perfectly suited to the atmosphere, and the option to switch between tracks in the background was such a lovely touch.

My favourite fish to unlock were the dolphin and whale—they’re among the final ones you’ll unlock, and they were well worth the wait. Another standout feature of the game is the “New Game” mode. If you’ve unlocked all the walls (essentially space upgrades) and then start a new game, the experience changes completely. The water is different, there’s sea foam or clouds at the top, and you even get an extra mermaid, along with other surprises! I absolutely loved that twist and have really enjoyed playing the "New Game" mode with those added bonuses.

Enjoy the beautiful sea life 🐠

This game is nice, Recommended but it lack of explanation so let me put it here in case
First thing first, when you start, you will see
- seashell house : the actual use is getting your gold by clicking them(and its a mermaid house)
- shrimp net : this one is your fish feed, the fish will automatic eat it and it raise your maximum fish limit
- shrimp bubble : this one generate shrimp to the shrimp net, your mermaid or jellyfish will put to the net
- device with three color(Aqua generator) : this one will make the red crystal(called "Aqua") by taking 3 different ded fish to make aqua
and a mermaid : mermaid is your worker they do every task in this game, building, getting ded fish to device,put shrimp to the net, and expand your fish tank

The currency
- Gold: use to buy fish, buildings, upgrades, and expand fish tank
- Aqua: use to buy building, upgrades, you can exchange 1 aqua for 10 gold, but you cant exchange gold to aqua

The fish
when you enter fish tab, each fish you will see 3 numbers in this format
x (y)
z
x is the ded fish currently in the tank
y is total fish you have rise (till it ded) in this playthrough, this one need for unlocking new fish
z is fish that currently alive at the moment
x will decrease if it use in aqua generator and x cant be more than twice of current fish limit, if more, the old one will got deleted
next, if you hover to non unlock fish, you will see how many fish left to unlock, need x total of 3 type of ded fish
for the unlocked fish you will see stats when you hover on
- first is time, it will show how long of lifespan the current fish alive,
for example first one, the gold barb will ded after 1m30s and you will get ded fish and 1 gold (in the stats)
- second is shrimp, it will show how much shrimp it eat (i assume total shrimp they eat before ded)
- third is fish icon, it show how much fish slot it take when you put them in the fish tank
- forth is aqua, i think you will get aqua amount when you complete the aqua generator process
- fifth is gold, you will get said gold when the fish ded

I think this is all for starter to help you guys understand how this game worked
the target of this game is to expand whole fish tank for 5 times for the kingdom achievement
(i think it took 250k gold for each run), when you expand whole and start over, you will get 1 more mermaid for each run at the start of the game
and you can unlock fish after fish for the most of achievements

This game is so cute!
For now it does require me to regularly put more fish into the ocean, so it's not very hands-off, but I can see how it might be in the future with upgrades, which I'm looking forward to. Honestly, I can't take my eyes off it anyway. I love seeing my mermaid friend swim around and do her tasks.
Great game!
