I love it when I get to talk about a weird game such as Insaniquarium-Deluxe here. There are many of you probably wondering just what the heck this is. Well it was originally released in the early 00s, but it has had a few releases since then, most notably a mobile one not all that long ago. The game was brought to us from the good folks at PopCap Games and if you have ever played one of their games before (chances are you have) then you will know exactly what to expect here.
Feed Fish, Fight Aliens!
- Insaniquarium For Free Only 1 Spectacular 3D graphics, rousing sound effects, an original score, and ruthless alien beasts make this a cant-miss game Download Full Game mean that all game features are included with only one restriction you can play for free only 1 hour, then you must register (purchase) the game to continue playing.
- But mostly, we're software liberators. And we're very, very good at what we do. Lots of developers work with open source, but only a tiny fraction of those are good enough to get software that was designed for one platform to work on another one.
The premise of the game is super freaking weird, but it is one that I really do like. In Insaniquarium-Deluxe are in charge of a fish tank and you need to take care of the fish and fight off the aliens that want to eat/kill the fish. Why an alien race wants to invade you fish tank I have no idea, but it is a fun premise and one that does put a smile on your face and give you the odd chuckle. I do feel it could have done with some animated cutscenes to really nail the story.
The main single-player mode is called Adventure Mode and here you have five tanks that you need to progress through. It is more challenging than you would think and each tank has multiple levels that you need to complete so it will last you a fair while.
Bright And Colorful
The presentation for me is what gives away the fact that this is a game made by PopCap Games. Insaniquarium-Deluxe has a kind of cartoon look to it that I really do like. The fish have a lot of personality to them, just by their designs. I do wish that the soundtrack was a bit better as it can kind of get on your nerves after a while as it feels like you are hearing the same thing over and over again.
Saving The Fish!
The gameplay is all done with the mouse and it is very easy to figure out. You start off with either two fish or a breeding machine that gives you fish. You need to take care of these fish by feeding them and also by blasting any aliens that come into the tank. You can collect money that the fish drop and you can use this to buy new fish, upgrades for your lasers, food and so on. It is a game that is very, very basic, but it is also quite fun and addictive. The kind of game where you can easily waste 30 or so minutes playing it and you will have a good time doing so.
More Fishy Modes
As well as the Adventure Mode, you also have a few other modes to keep you busy. Time Trial is all about clearing out a tank in the allotted amount of time. Challenge Mode gives you some specific tasks that you need to complete before moving onto the next challenge and Virtual Tank is exactly what it sounds like, you get to have a virtual fish tank. There is also a hidden sandbox mode that gives you access to everything the game has so you can screw around and do what you want.
While I will admit that on the surface Insaniquarium-Deluxe looks like a rather shallow experience. The fact of the matter is, this game is a lot of fun and very easy to get addictive too. I do feel that if you want to really get into the game, the newer mobile version might be the way to go. However, if you are looking for something that is fun and easy to get into on your PC, you can do a lot worse than this.
Final Score
Pros:
- The whole game has that PopCap charm to it
- I liked blasting aliens
- The fact the game even has aliens is funny
- It can become very addictive
- There are many different game modes to enjoy
Cons:
- The game could have done with a bit more story
- The sound effects and music can get annoying rather quickly

Insaniquarium Deluxe Review
- Review by Sara
Despite it's simplicity, Insaniquarium is one of the most invigorating and addicting games of the task management/arcade genre currently available.
Aquarium Management and Defense
The premise is simple: build up an aquarium of strong fish who produce coins to purchase larger fish, greater weaponry, more efficient supplies, and all essentials needed to fend off the hoard of aliens that incessantly attack your humble little tank. All begins calmly, with only one or two guppies hungering for attention but slowly your forces grow, constantly nourishing the army that will lead you to fortune and victory.
Unlock Helpers for Your Tank
Along the way some unique pets are acquired as points mount, including a fighting swordfish and coin-collecting snail. Some of the sound effects produced by these underwater friends can be a bit disturbing at times, including those of Prego the fish who is constantly reproducing masses of guppies with the most unpleasant of sounds.
Mayhem!
As the continually growing numbers of fish drop equal numbers of coins, it is a helter skelter to collect all your earnings while tending to the well being of your fleet. Alien attacks occur regularly and can feature several evil players, including a flaming man and a brutal shark-like beast.
Working through all the levels will unlock several other play modes, as well as over 20 diverse pets, more elaborate tanks, and even wilder minion extra-terrestrials. Tank backgrounds are vibrant and a pleasure to behold.
Conclusion - Unique and Very Well Done
While the mechanics of game play are quite simple and the motive behind tasks even simpler, Insaniquarium is inexplicably addicting and will truly keep you captivating for many stimulating hours. All fans of the arcade genre are advised to take a stab at this underwater classic.
