📘 How to Play Set Up an Aquarium?

Set Up an Aquarium is a placement/decorating game where you turn an empty glass tank into your own underwater world — not a diving or exploration game. You pick a creature or object from the palette below and drag it into the tank; everything you drop comes alive in its own natural way.

1. The palette below holds 4 fish species, a jellyfish, a sea urchin, seaweed, coral, 3 rock types and a treasure chest.
2. Drag your pick into the empty aquarium and drop it.
3. A dropped fish or jellyfish starts swimming continuously in its own area; the sea urchin pulses gently in place, and seaweed or coral sway lightly.
4. The 'New Aquarium' button empties the tank so you can build a different underwater world from scratch.

🐟 Real frame-by-frame swim animation

The 4 fish species and the jellyfish move with real frame-by-frame swim animations, mirrored by direction and moving freely on a sine-based path for a natural aquarium feel. Rocks, reefs and the treasure chest stay fully still as inanimate objects.

🎨 Why "placement," not "diving"?

Unlike Diving Adventure, this is a static, side-view decorating experience — there is no diver and the scene never scrolls; the only goal is filling your own aquarium with whatever creatures and objects you like.

👶 What to expect at age 4-9

For the youngest players, the skill is simple drag-and-drop. Older kids learn to tell different sea creatures apart (fish, jellyfish, sea urchin) and design an aquarium all their own.

🏠 Use at home

• With no losing or timer, a child can try as many arrangements as they like.
• An adult can support imagination by asking "where do you think this fish likes to swim?"
• 'New Aquarium' lets each session build a completely different underwater world.
