Sus controles son horribles.
Es como el demo técnico de una idea super de comedias.
No le pondría puntaje negativo porque este juego parece tener toda la intención de ser un "kusoge".
En youtube parece más jugable y divertido.
This is singlehandedly the most influential gaming experience I have had the pleasure of playing in my 2 decades on this planet. Thank you creators of NEO AQUARIUM - The King Off Crustaceans, this game has truly shifted my perspective in a way no other piece of media has yet managed. It has been an eye opening experience
Neo Aquarium is one of those rare games that somehow manages to be both completely absurd and genuinely compelling — laser-firing crustaceans shouldn't work as a combat system, but the limb damage mechanics, meter management, and wildly distinct movesets for each creature give it a surprising amount of depth. The Snow Crab that can only move sideways, the Hermit Crab that retreats into its shell to negate damage, the Barnacle that barely moves but melts your health bar — each fighter feels authentically weird in a way that keeps you experimenting. The soundtrack is legitimately great, swinging between smooth jazz and Japanese vocal rock in a way that somehow fits perfectly. Controls take real adjustment and the game does almost nothing to explain itself, so expect a rough first hour before things click. If you can grab it on sale for a few bucks and have a friend to drag into local multiplayer, it's absolutely worth it.
mala la wea .
demasiado caotico
[i]NEO AQUARIUM - The King of Crustaceans[/i] was originally released in 2012 and was an unserious, niche bullet hell with terrible controls, an awkward camera, and a fairly decent original soundtrack. Aside from being a typical joke disguised as a video game from Japan, this product can be beaten in under two hours as gameplay comprises dodging dozens of projectiles, wasting POW(ER) to get close and personal with enemies, and retreating in order to recover POW while the AI somehow regenerates it at a much more effective, and almost unfair, degree. The only positive aspect of the video game is its astonishingly energetic music and ability to unlock unique characters when they are beaten in EX(PERT) mode.
i gooned to this game when i was 12
NEO AQUARIUM - The King of Crustaceans, developed by Calappa Games and published by PLAYISM, is a bizarre, unapologetically strange arena fighter that dares to turn sea creatures into laser-firing, shell-shattering warriors. It’s a game that thrives on its absurdity, inviting players to embrace the ridiculous concept of underwater crustacean combat in fully three-dimensional environments. While it might sound like a novelty—or even a joke—there’s a surprising amount of effort and mechanical depth beneath its offbeat premise. It’s not a conventional fighting game by any means, but it’s certainly a memorable one.
The gameplay centers around one-on-one or small group battles between crustaceans like lobsters, crabs, and even barnacles. Each creature has its own stats and unique set of attacks, ranging from traditional physical strikes with claws to bizarre projectile lasers and energy blasts. Battles take place in a fully 3D aquatic environment where players float, dash, and rotate in all directions. Movement feels like swimming in a tank, slow and deliberate at first, but learning how to control your creature effectively becomes part of the challenge. There’s a distinct weight to every action, whether it’s a claw strike or an evasive spin. What sets the combat apart is the use of body part targeting—players can specifically damage and dismember enemy limbs, which affects performance and adds a layer of tactics to the otherwise chaotic action.
The story mode adds an extra layer of surreal charm. Rather than a cohesive plot, it offers a loosely connected series of missions with strange dialogue and an overarching narrative that barely makes sense—and yet, that’s part of the appeal. The game never takes itself too seriously. It presents a world where crustaceans are not just sentient, but engaged in interdimensional aquatic warfare, complete with bizarre philosophical undertones and techno-mystical overtones. Each mission serves as a vehicle for unlocking more creatures, arenas, and parts for the customizable aquarium editor, which allows you to personalize your own battle environments with decorative marine life and terrain elements.
Visually, NEO AQUARIUM embraces its low-budget aesthetic with sincerity. The models are functional but far from polished, and animations can be stiff or janky. The lighting effects during battles are flashy and over-the-top, often to the point of obscuring what’s happening on-screen. The UI is clunky, and camera angles can be frustrating, especially when battles get hectic. Still, despite its technical shortcomings, the visual style matches the tone of the game—awkward, a little chaotic, but entirely committed to its unique vision. There’s a sense of charm in how unabashedly weird it all is, and that feeling carries the experience more than the fidelity of the graphics ever could.
Multiplayer is where the game truly shines. Playing with friends locally or online turns what can feel like a clumsy solo experience into a shared bout of hilarity. The unpredictable nature of the controls, the absurd special moves, and the constant threat of having your limbs ripped off mid-battle create moments of spontaneous laughter and chaos. Matches are rarely balanced, but they’re often entertaining. It’s not the kind of game you master through hours of practice—instead, it’s one you fire up for the sheer novelty and stick with for the unexpected joy of watching a shrimp blast a laser at a crab while spinning upside down.
The aquarium customization feature is an odd but welcome addition. Between battles, you can decorate your own aquatic space with collected items, creating a sort of personal exhibit or theme park. It doesn’t have any real gameplay impact, but it reinforces the game’s underlying sense of being more than just a fighter—it’s an aquatic oddity simulator. It gives players a sense of progression, even if the rewards are purely cosmetic. Still, for completionists or those who enjoy weird, sandbox-like elements in their games, this feature adds a layer of depth and replayability.
There are, however, plenty of rough edges. The controls take time to adjust to and never quite feel intuitive. The camera often works against the player, making combat feel more frustrating than it should be. Some enemy AI patterns can be exploited easily, while others are inexplicably punishing. Hit detection can be inconsistent, especially when projectiles are involved. The learning curve isn’t steep in terms of mastering combos—there aren’t really any—but simply learning how to navigate the game’s systems and work around its quirks is its own process. That said, these flaws become part of the game’s charm for those willing to accept its eccentricities.
In the end, NEO AQUARIUM - The King of Crustaceans is the kind of game that defies easy categorization. It’s not polished or balanced, and it’s not trying to be. It’s a game that exists to celebrate the bizarre, to offer something so left-field that you can’t help but admire its audacity. For players looking for something truly different—something that feels like it belongs in a parallel dimension of gaming—this is a hidden gem. It’s weird, janky, occasionally frustrating, but also creative, hilarious, and unlike anything else on the market. If you’re open to games that don’t play by conventional rules and you enjoy diving into the obscure, NEO AQUARIUM is an experience worth having—if only to say you fought a laser-wielding lobster and lived to tell the tale.
Rating: 8/10
ゲーム「NEO AQUARIUM - The King of Crustables -」はたぶん全員向けじゃない。このクソを考えたやつは SICK C⚓NT。カラッパゲームス合同会社のことは心から愛してる。グラフィックみたいに、美しくて気持ち悪くて。信じられないほど JANK。でもそのニッチで攻撃的な性質と、境界的／𝑳𝑰𝑴𝑰𝑵𝑨𝑳ビジュアルのせいで、最終的な作品は ORGASMIC でマゾっぽくて、それが最高だと思う。たぶん。よくわからん……。まるで THE CIA SOLD CRACK COCAINE TO AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES みたいに、このソフトは現実をひっくり返して、お前の哀れで従順な人生に対して、コントロールも主体性もないって感じさせてくる。ファックユー。このゲーム、なぜか驚くほど（でも驚くべきじゃないほど）メカニクスが深い。だからマニュアル読め！めっちゃ貴重な情報が詰まってる。例えば、なんで ORGANIC MATTER のメーターがあるの？まあ、あってもいいだろ？ファックユー。終わり。

It's never been better than this
Crab
WHAT THE FLYING TOASTER FUQ?! CONTROLS ARE SO WHACK NO BLOCK BUTTON AND RANGE ATTACK IS USELESS, JUST MASH MELEE.... COOL IDEA EXECUTED TERRIBLY.
Melhor jogo 10/10
Really great idea to do Mech shooter with crabs
It has a good foundation but very, very poor execution.
Good
Super unique destruction system that makes full use of the crustacean theme. Each limb determines your movement speed and if your crab has claws, the ability to grab objects/melee. Taking damage will destroy each limb and slow you down, you can regrow your shell but it takes skill points and leaves you vulnerable. Also, you can purposefully choose to purge your limbs to turn them into flying turrets or swords, at the risk of having less speed and armor. Some charged skills are more effective with all your limbs intact so you have to regulate your limb usage closely.
Bad
Annoying "fake bad translation" text : It gives itself away by going overboard in the opening text and overstays it welcome by the second level. Lots of 2000s era internet humor, forced typos and non sequiturs that takes away from what would be an interesting story about sea creatures being captured and forced to fight in an aquarium for entertainment. Would be far funnier if it just played itself straight. A few songs also try way too hard to sound like Japanese "engrish" covers. I can only assume they were going for the Youtuber audience.
Hard to understand controls: There's no tutorial at all and the control tips are very vague. After trial and error you can understand the breakaway system and your different attack and skill modes, but mechanics such as the power, oxygen, temperature and "organic" meter eluded me. I have heard criticism's of the crab's movement, but that seems authentic to the way they swim in real life. Feedback on when shots connected or hit you are also not clear, so battles can become very disorienting. I think there's some sort of blocking system but there aren't any sounds or effects for it, so sometimes hitting the enemy with melee will delete half their health, and other times it will do nothing at all. A score list of the sea creatures you killed during the stage appears at the end, but I'm almost certain that they do not actually appear and the numbers are made up.
Repetitive: From what I was able to play of the story, you have to play the same stage repeatedly until you complete the campaign and unlock a new one, unlike most fighting game arcade modes where you get a variety of locations throughout each play-through. A big missed opportunity considering how diverse ocean environments can be. There seems to be a level editor but I couldn't figure it out due to the controls.
BUGGY: Game would always crash during or when restarting level 4 of the story mode. Never was able to get past this point.
Ace of Seafood is a very different game, but I enjoyed that one far more. I hope that someday either this developer or another could retry AoS or Neo Aquarium with a higher budget because the concept is very strong.
I have played and enjoyed every single one of Calappa's games about marine creatures fighting each other with lasers and weapons. NEO AQUARIUM is a proto Fight Crab with a bit more of a fighting game feel.
You need to play this game. Become crab
Crab.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Is that a corn barnacle?!
Neutral recommendaton
Bizarre gameplay with bizarre campaing and cool soundtrack
Its very niche.
I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
Don't fall for all the positive reviews. It's jank in the worst ways. It's barely even playable and when you do stuff it's never what you actually think it'll be. It didn't help that the buttons on screen didn't even match the controller ("confirm" was actually "cancel" etc). The UI is was very unintuitive and provided little help. The text at the beginning of the story scrolls by very quickly, but even when you actually get to read everything it's read like some kind of fever dream. Story mode amounts to a parody paragraph before every fight on top of a lackluster still image. Before each battle I thought I should weave around and try to dodge attacks or use the environment to my advantage, but very quickly found out I could stay right on top of my opponent and mashed the same attack button over and over for victory. I don't recommend this game for any reason other than to have a quick giggle and even then only if it was a massive sale.

[h2]もっとも稀な実績ショーケースが魚介臭くなる [/h2]
18時間ほどで実績コンプしましたが実績狙いの方にはおすすめしません、きっついです。
セール時にネタで買って数回プレイする程度が良いと思います、ハードとか不条理すぎて病むと思います。
いい感じにクリアできそうって時でもエラー落ちにやられて病みます。
実績コンプ自体は1年位前にしてましたが、魚介を見るのが怖くなりレビューするのに1年かかりました。
もとは2011年発売の同人ゲーム、windows10環境ではエラー落ちがたびたびありました。
BGMやストーリーはひかれるものがありますがゲームとしては3D黎明期のレトロゲーを遊んでるような…
ちょっとフジツボになりたい、そんなあなたにはぴったりのゲームです、フジツボマニアの方は買いましょう。
totalmente japones.
jogamos com bixos do mar, ficamos nadando e tacando terror.
mantemos nosso bioma aqui, comemos uns bixos ali.
Jogo muito estranho e exótico.
Eu só joguei ele meio que a força por ainda estar sem o farmer de cartinhas IDle dady.
Não recomendo essa desgraça
dont know why the reviews are positiv so often.
the game is poorly simple, looks and feels so oldschool, not only from 2015.
the controls are clunky and bad.
graphics look so old.
the whole environment is very very simple and got bad graphics.
there is no high resolution.
absolutely bad
One of the most unique games I've played, I just love it. If you can I highly recommend playing splitscreen versus mode with a friend, and watch the hilarity ensue
i have no idea what the ♥♥♥♥ is going on
Якщо ви любите 3D-стрілялки, морських членистоногих і лазери, то вам сподобається гра “Neo Aquarium - The King of Crustaceans”. Це гра про битви між крабами, омарами в спеціальних акваріумах, де вони розвивають унікальні навички, такі як лінька та самоампутація. Гра має три режими: режим історії, в якому ви дізнаєтеся про походження головної героїні - маленької дівчинки-чарівниці; вільну битву, де ви можете змагатися з друзями або комп’ютером; і онлайн-битву, де ви можете боротися з іншими гравцями по всьому світу. Ви також можете налаштовувати свої акваріуми, додаючи туди рослини та тварин, які будуть вам допомагати в боях.
Гра не претендує на серйозність, але має свою чарівну атмосферу і гумор. Битви досить складні і потребують уважності та стратегії. Кожен персонаж має свої сильні та слабкі сторони, а також різні способи руху та атаки. Гра також має чудовий саундтрек, який пасує до стилю гри.
Я рекомендую цю гру всім, хто шукає щось незвичайне та веселе.
YO, I choose barnacle, and was quickly blown away by the game mechanics. barnacles can multiply, charge up and shoot all kinds of cool things. absolutely underrated amazing game, i cant wait to unlock more. Wish there was a game like this in the last 3 years but seems this was the last of an era. BRING BACK GAMES LIKE THESE.
is quite weak game starting from the controls and movement - ending with empty game loop
Finally I can experience the joys of crab!
Excellent, now I finally know who truly is the king of crustaceans.
💩😒💩👎👎
Read the manual before playing. Steep learning curve, but real fun once you know how to play.
This is what the world under the oceans is like. Be warned.
Crabs.
balls, good game
"Millions of years in the future, at 4:15PM, Wednesday"
This is the intro line of the game. How can you not love the pinpoint detail of that?!
Anyway, this is truly a one of a kind fighting game. You would be crazy not to buy this on sale. It's one for your collection if you love fighting games, if you love quirky Japanese games, if you love fringe games. This is your games if you love all of that.
"So here's this Giant Enemy Crab..."
Chionoecetes opilio, is a species of snow crab, also known as opilio crab or opies, is a predominantly epifaunal crustacean native to shelf depths in the northwest Atlantic Ocean and north Pacific Ocean. It is a well-known commercial species of Chionoecetes, often caught with traps or by trawling. Seven species are in the genus Chionoecetes, all of which bear the name "snow crab". C. opilio is related to C. bairdi, commonly known as the tanner crab, and other crab species found in the cold, northern oceans.
Snow crabs have equally long and wide carapaces, or protective shell-coverings, over their bodies. Their tubercles, or the bodily projections on their shells, are moderately enclosed in calcium deposits, and they boast hooked setae, which are rigid, yet springy, hair-like organs on their claws. Snow crabs have a horizontal rostrum at the front of the carapace; the rostrum is basically just an extension of the hard, shell covering of the carapace and it boasts two flat horns separated by a gap. They have triangular spines and well-defined gastric and branchial regions internally.[2] Snow crabs also have little granules along the border of their bodies, except their intestinal region. Concerning their walking legs, their first three are compressed; their chelipeds, or pincers, are usually smaller, shorter, or equal to their walking legs.[3] Snow crabs are iridescent and range in color from brown to light red on top and from yellow to white on the bottom,[1] and are bright white on the sides of their feet.[4]
Snow crabs are native to the Northwest Atlantic and the North Pacific. In the Northwest Atlantic, they are found in the areas near Greenland, Newfoundland, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and on the Scotian Shelf.[2] In the North Pacific, this crab is found in areas ranging from Alaska to northern Siberia, and through the Bering Strait to the Aleutian Islands, Japan, and Korea.[5]
In 1996, they were recorded in the Barents Sea for the first time. They are considered an invasive species there, but how they arrived there is unclear.[6] Another commercially important species, introduced deliberately to the same region, the red king crab, already has established itself in Barents Sea. Similarly, snow crabs likely will have an adverse effect on the native species of the Barents Sea.[6]
Snow crabs are found in the ocean's shelf and upper slope, on sandy and muddy bottoms.[3] They are found at depths from 13 to 2,187 m (43 to 7,175 ft), but average is about 110 m (360 ft).[7] In Atlantic waters, most snow crabs are found at depths of 70–280 m (230–920 ft).[3] Where male and female snow crabs are found in the ocean, depths may vary. Small adult and senescent adult males occur mainly at intermediate depths over much of the year, while large and hardy adult males are found mostly at depths greater than 80 m (260 ft). Adult females are gregarious and congregate at depths of 60–120 m (200–390 ft).[citation needed] Snow crabs mainly reside in very cold waters, between −1 and 5 °C (30 and 41 °F), but can be found at temperatures up to 10 °C (50 °F).[7]
Chionoecetes opilio crabs eat other invertebrates in the benthic shelf, such as crustaceans, bivalves, brittle stars, polychaetes, and even phytobenthos and foraminiferans. Snow crabs also are scavengers, and aside from preying on other benthic shelf invertebrates, they prey on annelid worms and mollusks. Males typically prove to be better predators than mature females, and prey type depends upon predator size, with the smallest crabs feeding mainly on amphipods and ophiuroids, while the largest crabs feed mainly on annelids, crustacean decapods, and fish.[8] Cannibalism is practised at times among snow crabs, most frequently by intermediate-sized females.
The snow crab grows slowly and is structured according to its size. At least 11 stages of growth for male crabs are recognized. Usually, the male crabs are almost twice the size of the female crabs.[4] Males can grow up to 16.5 cm (6.5 in) in carapace width, while females can grow up to 9.5 cm (3.7 in).[7] Male carapaces are usually about 7 cm (2.8 in) in width and length, with the female carapace usually close to 5.5 cm (2.2 in) in width and length.[4] Males caught in commercial fisheries generally weigh 0.5–1.35 kg (1.1–3.0 lb) and females generally about 0.5 kg (1.1 lb).[7]
Off the coast of Newfoundland, two amphipod species – Ischyrocerus commensalis and Gammaropsis inaequistylis – have been found to live on the carapace of the snow crab.[9]
Snow crabs have a very high reproductive potential; each year, every female carries eggs. Females are fertilised internally and can carry up to 150,000 eggs under their abdomens after mating. Females usually lay their eggs in very deep areas of the ocean, such as in deposits of phytodetritus. Males also are capable of mating at both immature and mature stages of their lives.[10]
Snow crabs have an average lifespan of 14 to 16 years. Before their deaths, they usually moult, mate a final time, and die. New snow crab offspring hatch along with the late spring phytoplankton bloom, so they have an ample food source to take advantage of upon hatching. When they hatch, they are in the zoeal stage, meaning that they are developing into larvae that can swim on their own. Then, they metamorphose into the megalopa stage and settle to the ocean floor among the phytodetritus.
This species of crab was commonly caught by trappers in the 1980s, but trapping has decreased since then. Much of the trapping has been in Canada for commercial use.[11] The first commercial fishing for the species in the Barents Sea (where it is an invasive species) began in 2013, and the stock of this region likely will reach levels similar to eastern Canada in the future.[6]
Since 2016, the snow crab is at the center of a dispute over fishing rights between Norway and the EU. The EU is of the view that the crab can be freely caught by EU fishers in the international waters in the Barents Sea. Norway, for its part, argues that the crab is not a fish but a sedentary species, and therefore subject to the jurisdiction Norway exercises over the continental shelf. The Norwegian Supreme Court adopted this view in a 2019 decision.[12]
he species was first described by Otto Fabricius in 1780, under the name Cancer phalangium,[13] a name that was invalid due to Johan Christian Fabricius having used it previously for the species now known as Inachus phalangium.[14] The first valid scientific name was provided by Otto Fabricius in 1788, when he redescribed the species as Cancer opilio. The type locality is Greenland.[14]
As the genus Cancer was divided up, the species C. opilio was transferred to a new genus, Chionoecetes by Henrik Nikolai Krøyer in 1838. C. opilio was the only species in the genus at first, so it is the type species.
Mary J. Rathbun described a subspecies, C. o. elongatus, in 1924. This is now generally recognised as a full species, Chionoecetes elongatus.[15]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (that you should donate to)
imagine goku vs frieza battle but they are both crustaceans shooting kamehamehas n stuff at each other blowing up the entire planet and will crash when you use certain ultimate attacks because they are too powerful simulator
weird controls but its okay because i get to achieve my dream to become a lobster and a gundam crab
The greatest game of its genre
significantly more crabs than crab game
This is very good and Janey Bell win at the end.
beautiful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Running several virus scans located a trojan in the files of the game. Don't download.
Pretty bad
La idea esta muy buena, pero los controles están muy mal o muy complicados.
I like playing as the barnacle.
初代ROM版ネオアクアリストです。
カニのケンカが欲しくなってストアを覗いたらこっちもsteamでも出ていることを知って懐かしくなって購入。
後悔はしていない。 [h1]サントラも買った。 [/h1]
フジツボやタラバガニたちと戦うだけで俺の中のPOWが溢れ、
１０年前と同じく、俺のネオアクア魂に火をつけていった。ただし水温は上昇していない。
が・・・やはり十年前のゲーム
ちょっとシステム面に粗が目立つ。
まずこの時代の移植ゲーム(メルブ〇とか)でありがちだが、フルスクリーン中にタスクを開こうとするとほぼ100％フリーズし、steamも操作を受け付けない。[h1]回避法としてはウィンドウモードでやる[/h1]かそもそもゲーム中に他の事をしない。ちなみにフリーズしたときはOSにロックをかけてサインインしなおせば大概治るが、ダメなときはそのままシャットダウンするしかない。
もうひとつはコントローラーを3つ以上認識させるとキーコンフィグにヘルプUIがダブって表示されてしまう。
これは大画面でやれば解消されるのかもしれないが、ちいさいTVやモニターで4人対戦とかやる人は注意してほしい。
あとマニュアルが英語しかないのも頂けない。PC版のマニュアルを英語にしただけなのになんで日本語版が存在しないのか・・・まぁこの辺は大人の事情なのかもだけど・・・
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198405322368/myworkshopfiles/?section=guides
てなわけで需要ないと思うけどsteam以前のrom版準拠のマニュアルを抜き出して載せたので、これから甲殻王になりたい人や昔甲殻王で操作忘れた人は見ると幸せになれるかもしれない。
プレイ１時間ちょいで結構アラを見つけてしまったが、それを差し置いても面白いし、やってみる価値はあると思える。セール時はすごい安いし。
[h1]あとROM版の頃のアクアリウムデータを突っ込んだら使えた[/h1]
私と同じ世代のネオアクアリストは試してみると幸せになれるかもしれません。
たーらばーがに～
i got crab
I bought this game not knowing what to expect. After playing it though I gotta say I still don't know what to expect.
Time for crab.
This is truly the peak of gaming, nothing else can top this. I heavily recommend this game. It has everything you'd ever want. Challenging game play, great characters, a great story, amazing depth, incredible boss battles, and sex appeal. I don't know how anybody could ever dislike this game.
good game crab game
Lobster best character
This game is one of the most entertaining games I have ever played. In comparison to other fighting games this one does not go down like a barnacle dropped from a ship. No, Neo Aquarium The King of Crustaceans stands in my opinion equally amongst them with its complexity and absurdity. The game has a lot of character and doesn´t seem to take itself seriously. I would love to see the studio of the game come back to it and remaking it for consoles. A true indie hit standing supreme in my heart.
クセになるBGM！
ゲームシステム的にはガン〇ムVSとかバーチャ〇ンみたいな感じですねえ。
甲殻類好きな人にはオススメ！
ゲーム性求めてる人はやめとけ。
im a corn barnacle main
良心評測自費購買: 本遊戲無法滑鼠控制，僅能使用鍵盤操作。遊戲創意很好，但是操控性不佳，樂趣降低很多，很像半成品無法推薦購買。 如果你要購買 Seafood Platter或是海鮮拼盤組合包，勸你不要。NEO AQUARIUM - The King of Crustaceans - 與 Ace of Seafood 太貴且遊戲性差，本人是收藏家也少玩。
因為遊戲畫面都是測試參數，遊戲只靠鍵盤，忙亂中毫無樂趣，也無截圖了。
One of the most wierd games ive ever played but its fun in a way. The controls are kind of unusual but you get used to them real fast.
eu gosto de crustaceos e crustaceos desse jogo atiram, atiram muito, muito legal
You need to buy this game.
Nice
Graphics, level design and absolutely everything about this game is really well made. The developers clearly spent a lot of time making this masterpiece. Dont even get me started on the soundtrack which fits the enviroment of endless crustacean war perfectly. Worth every penny.
Give a musician an instrument, and he'll create a melody... give a Crustaceans an enemy, and he'll create nothing. He only destroys, kills. I wonder if God watches the events that unfurl when Crustaceans take up arms against other Crustaceans, and I'm afraid that when I die... God will care about the things I've done. But I think I'm more afraid that he won't. That he'll sit there... picking his nails, barely able to summon the energy to judge me. Because what then? What if bad crustaceans aren't judged fairly? People tell me to fear hell, but there comes a point where you've done such awful things that you have to wonder if the devil will welcome you as a friend when you arrive. The truth is... I only believe in one thing anymore... Crustaceans
This game is cray.
I love this game, it is pretty hard but its fun.

The only game you'll ever need for anything in this world
When i first launched the game, it opened up a window I initially could not control. I then interacted with the options menu and when content with the chosen options, attempted to save and exit. I was not able to exit the menu.
Upon restarting the game, I noticed it saved my options, including full screen. I wanted to stream the game to a friend, so I needed to alt tab. I could not alt tab, it would just flicker a black screen and then back to the game. After awhile, I was annoyed enough to switch back to window and go to options... I could not select options as if I was not able to interact with the menu. Ctrl+alt+tab+delete time, I selected task manager to end process, and again I would switch back to the game screen. Unable to interact with in game and alt tab, it was time to use the alt+f4 key. Just as I was about to, I suddenly had the ability to interact with the game. I exited immediately.
I launched the game's options and switched to window mode for emergencies. I navigated around the menu and experienced what I cannot help but feel it reminds me of Sega Dreamcast. Upon launching the first mission, I got a story. The game tries really hard to be funny with it's randomness, but it's more cringe than anything else; I admit, however, I am an adult with a fulltime job and college classes so my personality and humanity has dried up years ago and now a heartless, soulless, worker drone that battles depression with over consumption of junkfood and cheap video games.
When the gameplay finally started, I had a black screen. I thought it was loading, but music was playing. Upon button mashing, I noticed I heard sound feedback by the button presses, which helped me conclude the game has started, my screen is just black. I button mashed and eventually pressed start which caused the screen to come up. It, however, was frozen as if it was paused and pressing start did not "unpause" the game, it just caused it to skip to a new frozen game moment, as if start is the "play the game image by image" mode. After some further button mashing, I was finally allowed to play the game with actual gameplay that's even visible to boot.
I immediately button mashed to see what did what and learned Right trigger is to zoom. I zoomed so much I could not see, and was unable to zoom out pressing random keys. I tried RB, LT, LB, Y, and everything. I slowly was zooming in closer and closer to the point I was looking inside the lobster. Fortunately, dying fixed the issue.
The controls were uncomfortable. It felt like tank controls meets aircraft controls, but fused in a way that didn't feel sensible. I found myself swimming random directions I did not mean to.
The gameplay feels off at first, it does get worse over time. You can spam the fire button and win against some enemies; it will take a long time to win but you will eventually win. Some enemies like to go underground, which is annoying. The learning curve is fairly awful but there has been many worse.
After playing for what felt like an hour but was not even half that, I called it quits since an enemy I took down nearly all his health randomly started spamming super powers which caused my near full health to quickly diminish. Yes, by the third enemy, I used up all five of my continues and rage quit.
One of the greatest parts of the game is its soundtrack. Everything else about the game is mediocre or bad. This game is definitely worth a sale, just be warned that I didn't even buy it but my friend did as a birthday present for $2 on a sale and I still feel like I paid too much for the game; I paid nothing but I still paid too much.
It's a good joke game to stream with friends or strangers. It has an online mode so definitely worth a joke game session with the boys. Do not buy this game unless you're really young, however, for it has humor I think most adults don't find funny.
I dunno what to rate it out of five. 2/5 seems generous but also harsh, but it's somewhere in that spectrum.
Absolute masterpiece, highly recommend, fast paced combat which keeps you on your toes the entire time, you thought mortal kombat was a good fighting game? I laugh at you, only the king of crustaceans can truly be number 1
While I want to embrace this game by giving it points for originality and "so bad it's good" style, it just crashes far too much to enjoy. When it crashes, it can also delete your progress.

NEO AQUARIUM - The King of Crustaceans - is a game developed by Calappa Games and published by PLAYISM
The game offers some nice graphics, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same
NEO AQUARIUM - The King of Crustaceans - overall, however, is a fun game to play, and it does get boring if being played for a long time, but is an okay-ish action game and to play in short bursts
[h1] RECOMMENDED :) [/h1]

LOL!!!!! But no!!
the controls are awful...
Put these creatures into game is a really special ideal.
However, Only [b]4%[/b] players win one of story mode? Are you kidding me?
Even after I read manual, still no idea how to win a story mode.
Crabs are too strong, powerful skill and fast move
The balance is bad, weird attack range, CPU like cheat, his pow increase so fast, let him always use skill.
The mantis shrimp's punches were so powerful it crashed the game.
melhor jogo q joguei na minha vida
Nota: 2,5/10
yes
После приобретения, длительное время стим не давал установить и запустить данную игру. Теперь, запустив её, могу сказать однозначно, что быть лобстером - тяжёлое бремя.
best ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game ever
What a pleasure it is to have played this wonderful game.
Interesting concept, poor execution. It might be worth it solely for the OST.
Great game
藤壺火山爆！！
Solo una cosa: guerra de cangrejos que disparan misiles.
Nada más que añadir.
Awful game. The controls are abysmal, none of the mechanics are explained properly, little to no graphics options. The only thing going for it is the weird concept, passable music and suprisingly decent writing.
Kaspersky detects it as a virus 10/10
I had no idea what was going on or how to control anything
10/10
I am king of the lobsters, any of you who disagree shall be defeated.
