Insaniquarium 2 Revenge Of The Fish Free Download

Insaniquarium is a 2001 virtual pets simulator video game, developed by Flying Bear Entertainment and published by PopCap Games and MumboJumbo. Before PopCap Games's involvement, the game was a web-based Java game released in 2001. The game was made downloadable by PopCap Games in 2004 and was ported to mobile devices in 2006 and 2008 by Glu Mobile and Astraware respectively. Insaniquarium has the player maintain a tank full of fish while protecting it from alien attacks.
Insaniquarium is a virtual pets simulator with a blend of elements from action, strategy, and puzzle video games.[3][4] In the game, the player must manage a tank of guppies and other aquatic creatures, and each stage begins with two guppies in the tank. Guppies and other fish drop coins, which can be collected by the player and used to purchase fish food and upgrades, such as more aquatic creatures, food that can keep the fish full for a longer period of time, and laser upgrades to repel attackers. The coins will disappear if they reach the bottom of the tank. Each creature must be kept alive by feeding. The method of feeding depends on the type of fish to be fed. For example, guppies eat fish food bought by the player, and carnivores eat little guppies.[5] In addition to feeding the fish, the player must protect them from aliens that periodically enter the tank and attempt to eat them. The aliens must be clicked on repeatedly with the mouse pointer in order to defeat them.[6]
Insaniquarium can be played in four modes: Adventure, Time Trial, Challenge, or Virtual Tank. In Adventure mode, a player advances through four tanks, each with five levels.[2] In each level, the player must earn enough money to buy three egg pieces to advance to the next level. During an initial playthrough of Adventure mode, at the end of each level of a tank, the player receives a new pet from the egg.[5] While 28 pets can be earned throughout Adventure mode,[6] each level requires the player to pick three pets.[4] Each pet can aid the player during gameplay.[5] There are bonus rounds where the player can collect shells, which can be spent to place fish in the Virtual Tank.[5]
After a tank is completed in Adventure mode, it will be unlocked in Time Trial mode. Time Trial mode restricts the player to completing the first tank in five minutes and in ten minutes for the three subsequent tanks.[2] The purpose of each level is to collect as much money before the time runs out.[3] Challenge mode is unlocked after Adventure mode is completed, and there are four levels that are unlocked in subsequent order.[2] The player has to fight increasingly difficult waves of aliens while taking care of the fishes and unlocking the pieces to the egg.[2][4] Both modes award the player with shells. The Virtual Tank is the player's personal aquarium where their fish is maintained.[2] The tank can be used as a screensaver.[6]
Fan's main purpose with creating Insaniquarium was to develop a video game to enter into the Independent Games Festival,[10] having decided to do so along with Henderson after seeing the independent games in Game Developers Conference 2001 (GDC 2001).[1] Fan's idea "was to create a game that's easy to get into, yet unfolds into something much deeper." The first prototype simply featured clicking on the fish to feed them when necessary. Fan decided to add more depth to Insaniquarium due to his inspiration from an unknown Java game, which let the player buy upgrades with accumulated resources.[1] He entered Insaniquarium into the festival in 2002.[7] The prototype submitted took a month to create.[1]
Insaniquarium also received positive appraisal.[19] Jay Bibby of Jay is Games called Insaniquarium "cute, strange and addictive".[11] PCMag's Carol Mangnis stated that Insaniquarium "takes the joy and anxiety of maintaining an aquarium and turns [it] into a supercharged Tamagotchi-like experience."[15] Retrospectively, Jordan Devore from Destructoid felt that Insaniquarium had aged well.[23] Jody Macgregor of PC Gamer listed Insaniquarium on his list of best underwater games. He said "Insaniquarium takes the inane pleasantness of owning a fish tank and video gamifies the hell out of it."[24]
Insaniquarium Deluxe is a awesome game that sadly not many people know about. You feed fish, fight aliens and unlock cute and helpful pets. My personal favorite is a porpise named Blip, who gives out very useful information. One of the features in the game is the Virtual tank, where you can keep some fish, and even give them names! Some come in different colors, some like to eat junk food, some swim backwards and eat through their ass, and some can fucking eat fish bigger than them! In one bite, too!
So one day, I was playing the Virtual tank again, and fed my fish. I grew some of the fish, and killed some aliens, then I checked the shop. Most of them seemed mediocre, but one in particular caught my eye. It was a blood red carnivore that costed 666 shells, Even though the shop discouraged my purchase, but nothing stopped me from getting a rare fish at that price! And the color is awesome, too!
I went into my virtual tank to see what he was like. He was an average carnivore. He was fast, like those 0 to 60 fish you see sometimes. He also ate other Carnivores. I have never seen a cannibal fish aside from an ultravore I illegitimately generated a long time ago. He roared every time he ate a Carnivore.
Guppy The Guppy is the default fish for the game. It costs 100 dollars, and eats fish food. it has 4 growth levels: Baby, which produces nothing, teen, which produces silver coins worth 15 dollars, adult, which produces gold coins worth 35.
- Awesome Moment of Crowning: Feed a guppy enough, and it will become a royal guppy, causing it to turn blue and gain a crown. These guppies drop the even more valuable diamonds, which are 200 dollars each.
- Starting Units: It's the smallest fish, but great for starting off with.
- Zerg Rush: It's a good strategy to do it with these.
Carnivore The Carnivore is the second fish in the game. It costs 1000 dollars, and eats baby guppies. It also produces gems worth 200 dollars, but does not have growth levels.
- Real Men Eat Meat: They're bigger than guppies, and they're pretty fierce looking.
Starcatcher Starcatchers are lavender bucket-like fish that cost 750 dollars. They swallow stars produced by star guppies, and turn them into gems.
- Cat Smile: They always have this, unless they are super hungry.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Meryl mentions this when hovering over one in the virtual tank shop.
Guppycruncher Guppycrunchers are ground-bound fish that cost 750 dollars. They jump up and eat guppies, and they produce beetles worth 150 dollars.
- One-Gender Race: Considering they create living creatures, they're likely all female. Either that, or they turn the guppies they eat into beetles.
Breeders Breeders are Prego-like fish that cost 200 dollars. When they grow, they can create guppies for free, and like guppies, they can grow into teens and adults.
- Explosive Breeder: They create guppies at a really fast rate. Especially noticeable when you have a lot of breeders.
- One-Gender Race: Considering they give birth, they are almost certainly Always Female. Still possible for it to be otherwise, though.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: They give birth, they have a large belly, and they have a guppy color scheme. Yep, it's the fish version of Prego.
Ultravore Ultravores are incredibly large, grey fish that cost 10,000 dollars. They eat carnivores, and produce chests worth 2000 dollars. They also have a unique sound effect when being dropped into water.
- Real Men Eat Meat: An even bigger example than Carnivores. They are the largest fish, at twice the size of a Carnivore.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted, as they are on your side. Played straight if you're a carnivore, though.
Niko Niko is the second pet you obtain. He is an oyster who occasionally produces pearls worth 250 dollars.
- Clam Trap: Averted. He will open his mouth only when he's about to give you the pearl, and he will not eat any one of your fish.
- Crutch Character: One of the earliest character that gives you an alternative way to get a good amount of money, but his rate is rather slow and Vert, Shrapnel, and Brinkley will soon outclass him.
- Perplexing Pearl Production: Continuously creates valuable pearls, and while this happens slowly compared to other money-producing pets, he does so much faster than real oysters.
- Your Soul Is Mine!: He believes that demons may steal his soul through his open mouth, explaining why he does not do so more often.
Itchy Itchy is a swordfish that attacks aliens. He has the power of a level one laser.
- Berserk Button: He gets an angry face when an alien is in the tank. Considering what they did to him, can you honestly blame him?
- Beware the Nice Ones: He left Gash for dead one time.
- Crutch Character: His damage value is pretty alright on earlier levels. Once Tank 3 and Psychosquid comes along, he will be outclassed by your laser gun fast.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: An alien ate his friends, and he's trying to return the favor.
- We Used to Be Friends: He used to be besties with Gash, until he left the latter for dead.
Zorf Zorf is a seahorse that produces level 2 food for hungry fish.
- Crutch Character: He's pretty helpful early on for growing fish, but falls out of use when level 3 food is available.
- Expy: He has one in the form of the Peashooter from Plants vs. Zombies, where his mouth design is pretty similar to one.
- New-Age Retro Hippie: Downplayed, but the reason why he doesn't produce level 3 food is that the food pills are rich in fat and has boatloads of preservatives, while the level 2 one is organically made.
- Team Chef: In a fishy sense, since he's the pet that provides food to your guppies.
