The game was first released in December 2008, and it quickly became a hit, garnering millions of downloads across various platforms. It has won several awards, including the prestigious "Best Casual Game" award at the 2010 Russian Game Developers Conference.

This game is a match-3 puzzle game that challenges players to create and maintain their own virtual aquarium.

The gameplay in Fishdom is simple but challenging. The main objective is to match three or more pieces of the same type to clear them from the board and earn points. To do this, swipe a piece to swap it with an adjacent piece. If players match four or more pieces, they‘ll earn power-ups that can help them clear the board more quickly.

Complete levels: Each level in Fishdom has a specific goal that players need to achieve in a limited number of moves. For example, players may need to clear a certain number of pieces, collect a specific item, or reach a certain score. Complete the level by achieving the goal before running out of moves. As they progress through the game, the levels become more challenging, with obstacles like chains, blocks, and double-layered pieces making it harder to clear the board.

Decorate the aquarium: Players can earn coins and other rewards by completing levels. Use these rewards to purchase fish, decorations, and other items for their aquarium. Add fish, plants, and other decorations to create a beautiful and unique underwater world.

Use boosters: Fishdom features a variety of boosters that can help players clear levels more quickly and earn more points. For example, they can use bombs to clear a large area of the board or dynamite to clear a whole row or column.

In addition to the main game mode, Fishdom has another game mode: helping the little fish survive. This game mode is relatively simple, challenging the player‘s thinking and mathematical ability.

Beautiful graphics: Fishdom features beautiful and detailed graphics that create a vivid and immersive underwater world. The game has a cartoonish and colorful style that‘s visually appealing and engaging. Each fish and decoration in your aquarium is rendered with intricate details and animations, making them look like living creatures. The game also features different backgrounds and themes, such as coral reefs, shipwrecks, and underwater caves, that add variety and visual interest to the gameplay.

Challenging gameplay: The gameplay in Fishdom is simple but challenging, with different objectives and goals to achieve in each level. The limited number of moves and different obstacles add to the challenge, making the game engaging

Customization options: Fishdom offers a wide range of customization options, allowing players to personalize their aquariums and create unique and beautiful underwater worlds. From different fish and decorations to customizable sounds, there are plenty of options for players to create their own unique aquariums.

Relaxing atmosphere: Fishdom has a soothing and calming soundtrack that creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. This makes the game a great way to unwind and destress after a long day.

Here are a few potential shortcomings of Fishdom:

Limited lives: Play the game for a limited number of times. Every time the player fails, a game live is lost. When all the game lives are used up, the player needs to wait for a while before continuing to play. Although this can prevent game addiction, it will consume the patience of some players.

Repetitive gameplay: While Fishdom offers different levels and objectives, the gameplay can become repetitive after a while. Some players may find themselves completing similar tasks over and over again, which can become boring or tedious.

These shortcomings are subjective and may not impact all players in the same way. Ultimately, it‘s up to each individual player to decide whether the game‘s strengths outweigh its weaknesses.

All in all, Fishdom is well made. It is a casual game that is very suitable for relaxing and suitable for players of every age.This game can develop more modes, I believe it will make this game more interesting.
