About
Darquarium is an underwater idle-action game inspired by Insaniquarium. You are the light of a dark sea: feed your fish, catch the light motes they shed, burn the shadows that rise from the deep, and dive ever deeper.
Fish adapt to what happens to them. Hits grow armor, flight grows fins, plenty of food makes them glow, and from these adaptations whole new species emerge. When a fish dies, a shadow is born, so a single loss can cascade.
- Five depth bands (Sunlit, Twilight, Midnight, Abyss, Hadal) of three depths each, then the endless Trench
- Continuous evolution: jaws, glow, armor, fins and spines shape the look and the strength of every fish
- The codex keeps every discovered form between dives, completed bands awaken spirits to take along
- No menus: the shop is lanterns under the surface, everything is drawn as bioluminescence
Tutorial
Click the water to drop a light pellet (it costs light). Fed fish grow and shed light motes; click the motes before they rise past the surface. Light is your currency.
Buy from the lanterns under the surface: eggs, better food, more food, flares, elixirs and pearl pieces. Three pearl pieces take the tank one depth deeper.
When a fish dies, a shadow is born. Click shadows to burn them before they eat your school.
