Aquascapers

Aquascapers is a single-player and co-op aquascaping simulation about gathering ornamental materials and designing aquatic landscapes. Explore locations to collect rocks, wood, plants and fish, then arrange them into compositions for client projects or the market. Build a business by completing client commissions and earning reputation, or submit original aquascapes to auctions where bidders assess them according to their preferences. As your business grows, you can improve equipment, cultivate plants and fish, and unlock paludarium projects.
