About the Game

Your Desktop Becomes a Living Aquarium.

AquaDesk is a breeding and raising simulation game that turns your desktop into a small aquarium where tropical fish swim freely.

The fish move naturally across your screen, bringing a calm aquatic atmosphere to your desktop while you work, study, or take a break. AquaDesk is designed to be enjoyable both as a relaxing aquarium to simply watch and as an idle-style simulation where your fish gradually grow over time.

As the player, you will raise your tropical fish by feeding them, changing the water, and taking care of their environment. Through breeding and genetic elements, you can also create fish with a wide variety of unique traits.

The genetic system in AquaDesk is not intended to strictly reproduce real-world fish genetics. Because of this, fish may be born with colors, patterns, and distinctive variations that do not exist in nature. Enjoy discovering what kinds of fish can appear as you build your own unique aquarium.

As you progress through the game, you can unlock new features through a skill tree. These may include functions that make raising fish more convenient, elements that make your aquarium more beautiful, and new ways to interact with your fish. Your aquarium will gradually become richer as you continue to play.

Fun to watch. Fun to raise. Always changing, even while you leave it running.

AquaDesk brings a quiet, beautiful, and living aquarium to your desktop.
