I'm always completely in agreement with your reviews, but I just wanted to let you know that you do have a health bar in this game. It's the little glowing circle around the minimap in the corner.

It's a long time since I watched this review (and I don't want to watch it again!) but if my memory serves me, I meant a health bar for the bosses, not for yourself.

Do the bosses also have a healthbar in the corner? If so, I stand corrected and that's cool.

This game is a little dream. It's simple, with a clear graphics and a sweet, moving, incredible sound track. Indeed, the whole game is very much related to the history of the main character, so much probably you won't play it a 2nd time.. other things I didn' like: not possible to save when you want (need the "save christals") and level are veeeeery big and often labyrint-like.. and sometimes is really frustrating to travel from a point to another of the same level to complete a quest.

I love Aquaria to death. It is pretty expensive compared to most indie games, but the elements you mentioned in this vid, as well as the amount of gameplay time, makes it well worth the money.

Please, people, don't torrent this. Good indie developers need all the funds they can get.

I can't decide if I should go do my math homework or continue playing Aquaria. >:(

OMG WHY!? i just learned from ReviewTechUSA that antisocialfatman passed away at age 27! I knew him mostly for this video, my favorite aquaria review because quite frankly, this review is the best aquaria review on the entire planet, and im serious when i say that. whenever i would tell my friends about aquaria i would always link them to this review because i completely agreed with every point made. anyway, this comment is mostly as a memory i had about this channel. RIP antisocialfatman

Great review! I just discovered this game recently (it finally got a Mac port). I've played MANY games over the years and have to say that this might be my favorite game EVER. I don't comment often on youtube but just wanted to let you know, great review! Question - have you encountered other games as engrossing as Aquaria? I dislike ultra-violent FPS games. I don't mind if it's a 2D platformer like Aquaria (I also love World of Goo and Braid). Have you played The Neverhood? Recommended!

@Arnie1000351 The outfits also kind of vary in usefulness. Some (Urchin Armor, Crab Armor, etc.) offer abilities while others are purely for the sake of a change of clothes. You can get some of them through various locations (the top of the Turtle Cave bubbles, for example) or by accomplishing certain tasks (beating the challenge time on the Arnassi Ruins race, killing the Rock Crab, etc).

@Arnie1000351 The home improvements aren't really "improvements" for the most part. Just largely needless decorations (though some are useful). They're actually treasures scattered throughout various areas in the game. Basically anything you swim up to and initiates a small sequence of light and music cue (there's a black pearl, a seed bag, a lamp, a gear, etc. among the things you can find).

@Arnie1000351

Sure, I didn't pay a huge amount of money for games I ended up not liking anyway, but what about all the people that went ahead still pirated this pack rather than even spending a single penny on it? The developers still made thousands of dollars from this, so I don't feel bad that I didn't bother spending some $20 on mediocre games.

[Arnie1000351]

i have a question he said you could find unlock-able outfits as well as home improvements but i can't find them or any info on it can anyone help with this problem?

[Arnie1000351]

@juliagc it's mouth then use the space/dash/double click move away and shoot it while he's still doing the biting/swipe animation it should only take 3 lazor hits

[Arnie1000351]

@juliagc then use a fully charged tendil attack on the crytal it'll light up red and a lazor will go infrnot of you and hit the dog's head it will take damage and fall back make it melee you back until it's head is there and lazor it again the third time around he won't stay there you'll have to charge the attack make him do a biting move by floating in front of
