79/100

Aquarium Land successfully combines the 'collect-athon' genre with a tycoon management loop. The act of swimming around and vacuuming up colorful fish is surprisingly zen, and the transition back to the surface to sell them provides a satisfying sense of progress.

The art style is vibrant and clean, making the underwater sections a joy to explore. I particularly enjoy the way the aquarium grows over time—it feels like a living, breathing project. While it can be a bit repetitive, the constant discovery of new species and islands keeps the experience engaging. It’s a top-tier casual game for anyone who loves the ocean.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. Squiggle Drop reminds me of the early days of touch gaming—simple concepts executed reasonably well. You draw a line, it falls, things happen. It’s fine for a distraction, but the physics can be incredibly finicky. Sometimes the same drawing yields two different results. At my age, I prefer puzzles that rely on strict logic, not 'lucky' bounces. The building of the town is a unnecessary fluff that distracts from the core puzzles. It’s cute, but I'm not here for cute; I'm here for a challenge.
