Well, two in fact. One of them isn’t nearly very good (Noah’s Ark), but the other one, well… I haven’t slept since I’ve found it (okay, I didn’t find it until 10:00 am, and I’m at work, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t keep me up all night).

Insaniquarium. What a great game! It’s not extremely hard, and it doesn’t scale up to the point where you need Jedi reflexes and to control your cursor with your brain, but it’s still a sweet game.

Check it out.

Insaniquarium kicks ass! I discovered it a few days ago. I managed to finish both aquariums and there’s a third one coming soon! Mrs. H was pissed because I spent hours playing a didn’t get anything done at all that day.

What a horribly addictive game! The weird thing is, it’s not even actually all that much fun, but you can’t just let those cute little fishies starve, can you?

I like to buy hundreds of little fish, and just start cranking food into the aquarium. Get the mermaid, the squid and the sperm whale, and you’re set.

It’s not so much a difficult game as it is an exercise in how fast you can click the mouse.

How far has everyone gotten? I managed to beat 2-5, but then it froze so I couldn’t tell if there was more to it. I’ve seemingly got all the eggs, but are there just more and more levels going on forever?
