Beautiful and challenging. A work of Art

Updated review: about a year later I decided to re-download this title and start from the beginning. I am very glad I did. The story is engaging, gameplay exciting, and graphics are beautiful. My original review complained about getting lost - that remains true and using a walkthrough online is nearly essential at certain points. Even with that said - this game is a masterpiece and a work of art. Recently learned this was made by TWO people. David And Alec created nearly everything. Simply stunning. Wish more iOS games were like this. Original review: I love this game, simply put. However, I've owned it for 6 months and frequently get stuck and stop playing for weeks. When I pick the game back up it is nearly impossible to remember where you have been or where you need to go next. The story doesn't lead you like many games and each new area provides a new challenge that may not be clear. Be prepared to frequently search the web for help.

Simply beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Aquaria is a hidden gem of a game. Combining its atmosphere with its stellar soundtrack, the story of Naija is an experience you will find yourself fully immersed in (pun intended). But what does the future hold for Aquaria? While the game hasn't received any major updates in more recent years, and no plans for further updates in sight, it would seem that this beautiful work of art has been long forgotten. Regardless, if you love wonderful music, side-scrollers, exploration, adventure, story-rich games (or just video games in general), then you'll ADORE Aquaria!

Description

“Stunningly well crafted with a compelling story, beautiful visuals and music, and hours upon hours of action-adventure, Aquaria provides patient gamers with an ocean of depth.”
—Susie Ochs, Mac | Life

AN ENTIRE WORLD BENEATH YOUR FINGERTIPS

Explore a massive underwater world, teeming with life and filled with secrets. Join Naija, a lonely and mysterious aquatic girl, as she explores the depths of Aquaria. As her story unravels, she’ll travel from hidden caves shrouded in darkness, to beautiful sunlit oases.

Control Naija with an intuitive touch screen interface. Use her singing ability to create your own music, affect nearby creatures, move pieces of the environment and even transform Naija into different beings. Combine ingredients harvested from the environment in the “cooking system” to create tasty items. Catch a ride on a seahorse or a giant turtle. Discover new costumes, treasures and hidden secrets. Challenge the ancient gods who lurk beneath the waves.

GIZMODO: "With handcrafted visuals and an ethereal soundtrack, Aquaria looks, feels and plays just like a gothic fairy-tale. And it’s not just a loving pastiche of the classic 2D games of yesteryear. Aquaria brings the genre bang up to date with a fresh concept and a unique control system." (Gaming App of the Day)

POCKETGAMER: "Aquaria is absolutely gorgeous, and filled with clever ideas and smart puzzles. Both a calming splash in the sea and a frantic fight against the elements, it's an essential iPad game." (Top 10 iOS Games, November 2011)

TOUCHARCADE: "a gorgeous and well-produced title with a sharp emphasis on world-building and character growth." (Best iOS Games, November 2011)

EDGE MAGAZINE: "Aquaria’s gloomy caverns are a delight to explore, and, a rarity for a modern Metroidvanias, the designers don’t constantly lead the way for you."

Will you journey to the land beyond the surface and brave the dark sinister waters below? Will you defeat the ancient beings of Aquaria or fall prey to them? Will you find a companion or wander the waters of Aquaria alone?
