I bought this game for a "token gift" for my newspaper carrier and her son. She was so delighted that she sent me a "thank you" card as her son absolutely loved the game. She mentioned that it was not only challenging for him but loads of fun for her as well. What she liked the best is that there is no violence and how easy it was to install. I really am happy with my purchase and will be on the lookout for other games like this.

This is a definitely plan your next move first. Just have to get used to the fact you can only go around in a circle instead of normal play

We tried for some time to play this (Windows XP), and it was just abysmal. Even with adjustments to slow the mouse, it moved wildly, there was very little control. Even kids who are experts on Xbox and Playstation thought this game was horrible.

It is easy to learn and fast to play. And if you get started you want to complete all the levels.

I played a trial version online at another site using flash. (always make sure you have your windows/mac defender/wall up & virus, etc. up to date or use amazon's game manager which is the full game & options, but time limit trial)

this is similar to those games as you try to match 3 like colors to get rid of the marbles/balls like bust-a-move. the difference is all the marbles extend from the center & you (fish) are on a circular outter path with a target reticle to shoot inwards using your mouse. if you are able to match & have a nice stack of marbles fall off, you get a power up so you can shoot/change all the marbles to a single color for a limited time to make things much easier. Every 5-10 seconds another fish/enemy will come & shoot more various colored marbles to make things harder for you. if you aren't fast to get rid of all the marbles, when you are finally down to the last few, the middle enemy/disc will rotate until you shoot all the marbles. if the marbles extend too far out, you lose a life & float upside down to your death. nice realistic touch, huh?
cons:
the background music played is a low, haunting sound that would fit a horror movie w/underwater bubbles sound add as well.
the controls are overly sensitive, though you control the target reticle, your fish will move erratically many times & is distracting. it's best to watch where the ceter dot of the reticle is, not even the outter ring of it & ignore your character/fish.

this may be meant to be more strategy, but with the sensitivity (I don't own the game to see if there are sensitivity options or if it's better in full screen mode) it's more about speed/reflexes.

THIS IS ONE FUN GAME. THE SUPPLIER WAS GREAT AND I RECIEVED IT IN A TIMELY. THEY HAVE GREAT SERVICE.

EXCELLENT CONDITION AND EXCELLENT RESPONSE BY SELLER.. TOTALLY HAPPY. WOULD ADVISE OTHERS TO PURCHASE FROM THIS SELLER AND AMAZON.. IT WAS SAFE AND EASY
