AQUARIO (AQUITE in the Europe and AQUIA in North America) is a puzzle video game developed by skip Ltd. and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare digital distribution service. It is currently available in Japan, Australia, Europe, and North America. It was released at the launch of the Nintendo DSi and DSiWare service on April 5, 2009 in North America.[1]
Gameplay
The game requires players to line up blocks in rows of 3 or more in order to allow your diver to delve deeper into the ocean. As the diver progresses he'll slowly begin to lose his air supply. The player has to refill the diver's air-supply by clearing rows of blocks quicker or finding and clearing a row of 3 special blocks that will appear randomly as the game progresses.
There are two modes to select from in the game, Timed Dive and Free Dive. Timed Dive requires you to clear blocks untill the diver reaches a certain depth before he runs out of air, at that point the level will end and the diver decends to the next stage. Free Dive is a never-ending puzzle that tests out deep your diver can go before he runs out of air.
There is a relaxing Aquarium mode that will display a virtual aquarium on the top screen.
