LEGAL JUNK

Well, I'm sure this isnt the first FAQ you've ever read, so you probably know
all
the boring copright stuff. But I gotta put it in here anyway. Ahem...this FAQ is
copyright 2004 by Mitchell Bowes (tiamat101). It cannot be printed, posted,
redistrubuted,
downloaded, or anything else like that which would involve personal gain. You
may print it
out for PERSONAL USE ONLY, as in reading it to help you with the game. You MAY
NOT post this
FAQ on any website whatsoever. You MAY NOT link to it, except in forums to help
others. Link
to GameFAQS instead. You MAY NOT copy & paste anything here and claim it is

plaigiarism, and people who plaigarise are not only stealing, but they're just
being a total
loser. Dont do it. Please.

These are terms that I will use in this FAQ
VT : Virtual Tank mode
BD : Backdrops
Er...thats all you should worry about, really.
---------------------------------------------
First off, what is Insaniquarium? It is a PC virtual action/arcade-adventure
game
created by Flying Bear Entertrainment and published by Popcap Games. I'm pretty
sure it is
only availible online. Its only $20, and although it is a little known game,
it's awesome. If
you want to buy it, check out www.popcap.com.
So what do you do? Well, its a very strange mix. Feed fish! Fight Aliens!
You'll have to
work from rags to riches with your fish. In most tanks you'll start off with
one or two
fish and a bit of money. Feed your fish till they grow, and then they'll start
giving back.
Once fish have matured, they expel coins which you must catch to cash in. It
sounds kind
of boring so far, eh? Well, it is...for the first minute or so. Then things get
interesting.
You see, you're fish are a prime target for seafood loving aliens, who will
warp into your tank
and attempt to turn your tank into a fish buffet. Using your trusty laser gun,
you're gonna teach
these guys a lesson. As the game progresses, the aliens get tougher. But at the
same time, you
can relax with your fish in gorgeous graphics and catchy seaside music. Explore
your tanks and meet
new fish. At the end of every level, you'll get an egg. What's inside? Hatch it
and find out!
The eggs contain Pets inside. Pets are sea creatures that are dedicated to
helping you out in your
adventure, from money to aliens to fish. Then, take abreak from the adventure
and check out the
Virtual Tank, where you can raise fish just like you would in reality. Based on
your computers
clock, you'll have to feed them every day to
keep them happy.
What are we waiting for?
--------------------
1.1 The Story So Far
--------------------
(The game doesnt give you a solid story, but it does give hints to the story
here and there. This
is my gathering of the story.)
Aquarium owners are in distress. It seems that strange aliens from space have
descended upon our
planet and are attempting to eat us entirely out of seafood! And they're
starting by devouring the
contents of every fish tank on the planet! This wont do at all. You're going to
have to get rid of
these aliens once and for all. But they wont just come to you. Raise your own
fish in your tank.
That will attract the aliens. You're going to need some backup, so try to find
the Pets. They'll
help you out in your adventure. Once you've gotten rid of the main horde,
you're going to have
to take on the motherbrain of the aliens. Good luck, bub.
Now grab you're trusty laser gun and get ready to kick some alien butt!
=======================
2.0 The Lay of the Game
=======================
First off, before you go about saving the world, lets figure out how to play in
the world of
Insaniquarium.
------------
2.1 Controls
------------
Drop Food : Left Click
Tap Glass : Right Click (doesnt do anything exept in VT)
Select/Grab : Left Click
Change Presto: Right Click
Cheats : The Keyboard...(see 7.0)
Fire Laser : Left click
---------------
2.2 How to Play
---------------
Heres your "Playing the Game 101" for Insaniquarium.
FEEDING FISH
Simply click somewhere in the tank to drop food, and hungry fish will go for
it. Food moves
down until it hits the bottom of the tank or is eaten. If it reaches the
bottom, it will dissapear.
Food is not free (except in VT), so dont waste it. Each time you drop some food
it'll cost ya $5.
It's best to drop food above fish, near the top of the tank. Try to upgrade
food quality and quantity
as early as possible, it really helps.
FIGHTING ALIENS
For you're basic aliens (Slyvester and Balrog), all you have to do it shoot
like mad till
they're dead. Later aliens require more advanced strategies. However, even your
first aliens
will take a little more planning then you expected. If you're not careful,
