"Under the Blue Horizon" is an idle simulation game. Play while performing other tasks on your computer! Place your own aquarium anywhere on your screen, coexisting with your work, games, and more!
Players create and manage their own aquarium, raising diverse fish species by feeding them shrimp. The game provides a peaceful, relaxing experience as players observe their aquatic life thrive, each fish with its own unique lifespan and shrimp consumption statistics.
Players collect "Aqua" currency by converting byproducts dropped by deceased fish. They can then use Aqua to expand the aquarium size, build new structures, and unlock additional features. This resource management system encourages players to carefully plan the placement and utilization of their aquarium inhabitants to optimize Aqua production.
Players can hire friendly crawfish and jellyfish assistants to automate tasks like feeding the shrimp and placing new fish, allowing for a more hands-off approach to aquarium management. "Special friends" further enhance the experience by providing optimization tools, music, and new building options.
The game offers an intuitive user interface with easy zoom, monitor switching, and window repositioning capabilities, seamlessly integrating the aquarium with players' other computer activities. The always-on-top display keeps the aquarium visible and interactive, even while multitasking.
Reviews praise the game's cute and relaxing atmosphere, as well as the unique concept of an idle simulation that can coexist with other tasks. While some players desire more depth and substantive gameplay, the general consensus is that the game provides an enjoyable experience.
