About this game
Catch, raise, and sell fish in a fast-paced campaign or simply vibe with your fish in your own customized Zen Tank.
Advance your fishy business through four stages, starting in your college dormitory's bathroom. Your shop will be kept afloat by several strange, yet supportive customers.
What's that? You don't know where to start? Luckily for you, there are plenty of fish in the toilet! Try out the fishing minigame where you unlock cool new fish, catch crates for extra rewards, and mix up your strategy with a selection of baits and tackles.
Pay bills and get skills at the end of each day to customize your shop and make each playthrough different.
Corner the market and establish yourself as the premier fishy business!
