Fish Tycoon is a fish tank simulation where players feed, raise, breed and sell fish in order to unlock more tank items, rare fish eggs and eventually breed 7 rare and magical fish types. The game is a real time simulator, so the game will keep going when you stop playing, and over the span of a few hours, new fish will have grown and various other surprises will be waiting for you.
The game is controlled by selecting different options with your finger. You can feed your fish, shop for new items or give your fish items by tapping the buttons on the screen. You can also research fish, breed them or transfer them to your store front to make a profit by clicking and dragging fish into the isolation tank at the bottom of your screen.
The visuals are well done, and the fish are very detailed, especially those that are cross-breeded. The sound is good, but players cannot listen to their own iPod unless they turn the game sounds off. The game is single player only, with no leaderboard options or highscores. The game is solely about simulating and creating your own virtual fish tank.
Fish Tycoon is a great game, and a terrific addition to fans of Farmville and similar real time games. The gameplay is simple and the option to pick up and play at anytime makes this a lot of fun. As mentioned earlier, this game is very addictive, and if you can manage your gameplay time effectively, you will find a great experience here.
