r/Insaniquarium

Hi guys! I'm happy to announce the release of my Insaniquarium! Deluxe port for the PS Vita. The past few days have been lots of fun putting this all together and I hope you’ll have as much fun playing it as I did. The loading screen is a little slow, but I got the loading time down from 9 minutes to about 30 seconds as is. This is also the only part of the game where there are any framerate drops or audio stutters. After getting past the title screen, the game runs at a locked 36 fps almost 100% of the time. I've posted a video with gameplay footage on r/insaniquarium.

THERE ARE NO GAME FILES PROVIDED WITH THE .VPK BUILD!! You will need to buy your own copy of the game from Steam to use with the port. Install instructions are included in the readme section of the Github repository. The good news here is that the game is currently on sale for $0.99 (80% off!) until October 8th.

Here's the GitHub:

Touchscreen: feed your fish, collect coins, fight aliens, tap basically anything!
Rear Touchscreen: useful for feeding fish and fighting aliens. (harder to collect coins)

X BUTTON: tap on the glass...
SQUARE: bubbles!!!
TRIANGLE: opens the Presto Change-O
CIRCLE: basic navigation/back button
L/R: cycle through menu pages

START: pauses the game
D-PAD UP: hold down to open the keyboard

I’ve done a lot of optimization so far, and there’s a few quality of life improvements that I hope to make over the next few weeks, but I’m in the thick of university studies right now so it might take a little while. I'm the most proud of the button mapping which utilizes circle as the main navigation button and triangle to access the Presto Change-O menu if you make it that far in the game. That being said, here’s a list of currently known glitches that I plan to fix soon. If you notice anything else not working well, please leave a comment!

Currently Known Glitches

DO NOT try to open the on-screen keyboard while in a pause menu, it will cause a soft lock.

I'll be adding more details to the readme and this post when I have more time, so keep an eye out for any edits on this post but it is 3:10 AM here and I need sleep. Hope you guys enjoy!!

I got curious whether I could add multiplayer to this game, and after many hours, I did. While I was at it I added other features that make it feel fresh again.

This mod has only been tested on the Steam version (with all testing being through Proton-GE). Some of what's in it:

• 2-4 player co-op: online through a free public server (no ports to open), over Steam, or by IP address. You can also host your own server
• Extra modes: play as the alien, daily challenge, boss rush, endless and sandbox
• 15 optional mutators that change the rules
• 31 in-game achievements with shell rewards
• Window size options (classic 640x480, large, borderless, fullscreen)
• Configurable keybinds
• Turn each mod on or off from an in-game page
• Guides for writing your own mods
