Age doesn't matter, everyone loves Fishdom! This is a Match 3 game, but mostly it's an interactive Aquarium that allows you to decorate up to 8 different aquariums with various themes. Naturally you will need money to purchase saltwater fish, aquatic plants and decorations, you will earn money with each Match 3 game you complete. There are different goals with each game such as, making matches on all yellow tiles, making matches under diamonds to allow them to reach the bottom, or breaking chained and boxed tiles. There is a Relaxed, untimed setting available, otherwise the faster you complete each game, the more money you will earn. There is a time meter on the right of the screen that has a bobber, if the bobber drops below the gold mark you will earn less money, silver is the next lowest score but I'm not sure if you still earn money if the bobber dips below silver. The tiles are delightful with a 3D aspect, there are scuba masks, lilies, sharks and turtles with bold and bright colors. If you match 4 tiles you receive a bonus that will clear a line of tiles, if you match a T shape or L shape from 5 tiles you will receive a Bomb which destroys a two tile radius, if you match 5 tiles in one row you receive Lightning which clears tiles of the same type and if you combine bonuses in a match you receive a Mega bonus which obliterates practically all of the tiles! There is an icon at the top which shows your current level status, as you gain experience stars, you level up which unlocks more items in the shop.

The best part of this game is decorating your 3D aquarium once you have earned enough money. Eventually you will unlock backgrounds and decorations with 8 different themes, Primitive, Antiquity, Extraterrestrial, Mesoamerican, Atlantis, Fantasy, Future and European, allowing you to have up to 8 different aquariums. Tina the turtle is already in your aquarium to give you a quick tutorial, and your first fish available is a Yellow Tang (however Tina said it was a Flame Angel) When you click on the desired fish available for purchase, a bio window will pop up with information about that fish. This is the really cool part....you choose either male or female and then select it's name either from the extensive list suggestions, OR you can backspace to delete any of those names and retype the name you prefer! The fish are constantly chattering as they make comments about your decoration choices and what a great person you are, and they even talk to each other, so have fun with the names, even when you enter your own name because all of those names are used when referring to you and each other! You will receive experience points with each new purchase as well and it's incredible how eager you become waiting to level up so a new fish can be purchased! This game also allows you to use any of your aquariums as screensavers which is a really cool feature, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is in a way the same old Fishdom --it works basically the same way as the others -- but almost everything is new: new fishes, new backgrounds, new things to buy; even the fishes have new lines.

I've bought every Fishdom, I think, and enjoyed all of them. I've played this game halfway into the second aquarium. This is in a way the same old Fishdom --it works basically the same way as the others -- but almost everything is new: new fishes, new backgrounds, new things to buy; even the fishes have new lines. I especially enjoyed "Lisa, if you don't feed us regularly, we'll have to eat the aquarium plants."

As an older, arthritic person who no longer enjoys really difficult levels, I was delighted to find that, as you get to levels that are just too hard, you can turn off the spreading oil, the mines, and/or the timer. You do not have to choose this at the beginning, but can go there when you have replayed a level several times, but still couldn't win it.

The real benefit of this power to play at your own pace is that you young hot-shots out there can tune the game to the really hard level, and us more laid-back players can do the same. Bravo! This is a great BFG exclusive and seems to me to be well worth the price, even if you cannot stand to wait for the next sale.

The basic theme is a passage though time, with backgrounds and decorations from pre-human history through the space age. You can play each theme separately, or go crazy with mixing up all of the goodies. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have been waiting and waiting for this game to be released and, guess what? Today it was!!!!

The graphics are amazing! With every Fishdom game that comes out the graphics just keep getting better and better. Music is the same Fishdom background music we enjoy and the sound effects (even bubbles popping) are ..... great!

This is a match 3 game to conquer all match 3 games. You purchase fish, decor and comfort items (feeders, light, etc.) with which to decorate one of many aquariums. There are backgrounds as well. And, go ahead and snap a picture of your fishie' home to keep in your photo album! YAY!

In "Options", you can opt for a "relaxed" mode and even opt to have (or NOT to have) bombs and oil. You'll see what those are when YOU play the demo!

I LOVE the little fishies now interact with you more. REALLY talk to you - I could sooooo have a conversation! You get to choose if your fish is male or female. You get to choose a name from the long list of names available or give it your own unique name. How cool is that!!!!!

The CE Bling is disappointing. According to the "extras" section, it's just wallpaper, screensavers and concept art. I'm not interested in those things. But, it's a great add-on for those who are.

The game professes 250 levels! Woooo-Hoooo! But, if the game description says 150 "bonus" levels, does that mean I only get those 150 IF I buy the CE? If so, it's not right to show that in the game so HUGE and BIG and EXCITING without indicating it's part of the "extras".

So, as much as I love this game. As much as I LOVE my little fishies, I'll probably wait for the SE before making a decision which to purchase. Sigh. So sad.

This game would be awesome for gamers of every level and children too! My grandkids love playing all the Fishdom games, as do I!

Come along Under The Sea and join me building beautiful aquariums for the most fun fish in the sea!

ENJOY! Show less

This is Fishdom series by Playrix [ gardenscapes , manor memoirs , royal envoy], all - time popular M3 series is back! with new game - play , fishes , decoration and more !
This review is base on demo in playrix website.

First of all there are no story in this game but I will tell you about "Depths of Time" , it is only a theme of the game and you can see the background of the aquarium. But the title seem to be promising and I thought there are story included in the game but it is not necessary . Anyway , Tina Turtle will give you advice at the beginning of the game.

Game - Play :
This installment have change a LOT ! There are varieties of game - play such as break the golden tiles , smash earth/ crates for gems and bring the big diamond down to board [ like call of Atlantis] with brand new obstacles ! The M3 board are now bigger and more clearer to see.
Well the obstacles like time - bomb [ base on move] , moving oil , old tires , crates , earth , ice , chains.
There are also brand new power - ups like bomb , electric - portal , column / rows bomb , and you can combine with any power - ups too! But what challenging and annoyed about power - up is you can ONLY activate it by matching the same tiles or by combine 'em.
Like Fishdom 3 , after completing you will get money and XP , then the money use to buy deco or fish ,and XP for unlock new items in stores!
The game have 2 modes - relaxed and timed.

Fish Tanks :
In fish tanks we got Store which contain , decoration , fish , aquatic plants , new background and you can upgrade it. After buying , you will get more XPs and try to win Trophies for having a beautiful tanks in each tanks. All the items are reasonable price and some are expensive.
well all of the items are new and some fishes are new.
Like in Fishdom 3 , we can feed the fish and clean the tank when needed.
You can also take a look at the statistics button to see achievements and statistic of yours. There are tons of achievements and come in handy as you can acclaim reward after achieve it [ great!].
There are 8 tanks and need to be unlock base on XP levels and yeah have to buy it.
There are 8 themes background and decorations in the store. Themes like Atlantis , Meso - America , Prehistoric , Space and more !
Also there is Inventory where you keep decoration and you can sell fish/ decoration by click the net button.

Game Options :
you can adjust fullscreen , custom cursor , sounds/music volumes and difficulty. Here are some of the best parts , you can turn of time - bomb and oil -time if you annoyed with it.

The Game Feature :
the main game feature a lot like 250 levels [ feels like never ending] , 18 amusing fish includes a turtle , Fishipedia - a fish fun facts, relaxing musics.

Extra :
The game includes Concept arts , wallpapers , music , and 150 - level bonus game - play which can be unlock at 30 XP levels . And some Premium decorations and plants in store.

Overall :
Well playrix offer us with fantastical brand new M3 mechanics which is impressive for me and the game - play is addicting. This game is so relaxing and I recommended for those who are stress out there and for kids too. The graphics was colorful and bright and those fishes are funny with jokes and action . I wish playrix should make this game like Pocket Fishdom , which is we can make new breed of fish and maybe they would combine the game with Fishdom H2O: Hidden Odyssey ! Anyway Thanks for created this game!!!
Try it first , Then you will know. Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this Fishdom as much as the previous releases. You make matches to earn coins and stars. These are needed to buy all the necessary items to buy fish and decorations for your aquariums. The fish and the music are the same from the previous versions. The decorations are new. Overall a fun way to pass the time.

I recommend this game!

Having had a few aquariums over the years, this game was a "have to try". I too have the other Fishdom games and have to agree that this one Rocks!!
I can't think of a single negative comment. The graphics are amazing. The 3D feature is a huge improvement and how in the world did they figure out how to make those fishies swim and move so realistically? They even feed like the real ones. The best thing is these fish -as opposed to having the real ones- don't get ick, you don't have to change the water regularly, and they don't die. Oh yes, all of this for the price of the game, hard to beat.
The more you play the more hooked you become. Excuse the pun. The comments from your fishie pets are funny and make the game that much more engrossing.
When you have more than that first tank you run into jealousy from the fishies! The members of each aquarium don't like you spending time with the others and they tell you about it!
Just a great game that tics every box. I can't wait to see what they will dream up next, these devs are great! Show less

I have all the Fishdom series, but this one tops them all. This game really challenged my 76 year old brain to the max. I was stuck at the level where you're supposed to combine the powerups in order to finish the level. It takes a lot of strategy to put the combination of powerups side by side in order to be able to drag one on top of the other. My patience was fully tested, but I finally figured it out and proceeded to finish 937 levels and 10 tanks with 3 trophies each. Quite an accomplishment at my age I should say!!! Enjoyed this game thoroughly and would highly recommend it. Show less

This is a great game for the whole family. This game has a few twists that the other Fishdom games do not have. You get help from bombs, and lighting bolts by matching 4 & 5 items at the same time. You also have diamonds that you have to get to the bottom of the screen. Overall a nice relaxing game.
