Wow, talk about being able to customize your aquarium. I'll give them credit, they have a lot of the features I would love to see in Jim's (hint, hint
), but I know that his plate is already WAY too full to consider this level of customization. I like the fact that you can customize the gravel, border, tank shape, underwater lighting, water, bubbles, and sound effects.
As for the selection of fish, not bad (expandable to 57 species). Although I'm sure their fish are probably 2D bitmaps being dragged back and forth, while Jim's are fully 3D.
One thing that stands out that I don't really like is allowing both freshwater and saltwater fish to co-exist in the same environment (not to mention a minaturized adult shark and cartoon characters). It all kind of seems TOO surreal for me.
Looks like they may have ripped off a few things from Jim's aquarium, that or it's a really ironic coincidence. A panning camera (they also have a zoom mode, not something planned in Jim's), and the 'tap on glass' feature. Hmmmm...
Looks like the main page has a demo, I'm going to download it and give it a try to see how it looks. Thanks for the link!
UPDATE:
Well I checked out the demo and to be honest, aside from the customizable features, I'm not really impressed. The fish are exactly what I thought they would be like, only they've been made more amusing by the fact that their fins animate while the fish are flat.
Oh well, thanks again though IXNAY.
