For a long time I've wanted to just have a really simple aquarium game where I didn't have to worry about them virtually dying over night but didn't want in-app purchases either. I think I've always wanted one because I never got to get one of those fish lamps where it's just rotating around the middle piece to make it look like they were swimming.
This game has fulfilled that desire. It's very simple and works in real time you can get money every day and each fish generates a certain amount. You can also sell fish to get more money to buy new fish and repeat. There's many different types and you can lock in your favorites. I literally just got this game today and I already have 6 hours in it because to level up your fish you just feed them or wait for them to grow on their own. To feed you just right click. If repeatedly clicking hurts your hand you can go into the settings and select the "fewer clicks" option. Now when you right click it begins auto clicking food and you can move your mouse around the screen and it doesn't activate other buttons. You can turn off the auto click by right clicking again. I've also found leaving the mouse towards the bottom of the screen allows you to fully AFK click.
This game was also created by a solo dev and it's quite lovely all around. As of this post they are also working on a bird sanctuary game. I've already wishlisted it and I honestly hope they continue making games like this. :)
