I've been enjoying Fishlets. 2 hours in at this point and I have a few more tanks to unlock, but I've played enough to feel fairly confident that this is a rather fantastic game that will give you several hours of chill zen. The gameplay loop of the adventure mode isn't too complex, and I guess you could say it's a bit repetitive. It goes pretty quickly though, so I don't think it'll be a problem for most. Occasionally you'll get some evil critters that come into your aquarium that you'll need to kill through clicking minigame of sorts. Pretty low threat overall, but it does give you some incentive to pay attention outside of feeding your fish.

You'll place tiny fish, large fish, and big fish in your tank. That might not be the way they are called in the game, but that's what happens. Each fish drops a scale after fed which is your currency. It costs a scale to drop some food.

You can upgrade your food 3 times to lessen how often you need to feed them, and you can also purchase some critters that will help distract the things that come in to wreak havoc.

There's also an offline fishtank mode which I think is probably the main selling point for the game. As you complete adventure mode you'll unlock tanks, decorations, and fish. You then purchase those to put in your fishtank where they'll earn cash while you are away doing other things. Use that cash to buy more fish. More tanks. More money. Create the aquarium of your dream and chill with the mellow music.

I prefer this to real fish tanks.
