AquaPhone has proved to be an unexpected success, as figures show after less than a year since its release. Dynamic Pixels has managed to find many partners for the game in Russia and CIS countries too, which has greatly contributed to reaching so many people.

Tamagotchi games have proved to be a considerable success some time ago. Still, the craze has faded away in time, making newer versions of the concept successful only depending on how unique its upgrading proves to be. In AquaPhone, the player does not have to take care of a single pet, but of an entire ecosystem.

That is one considerable upgrading of the idea and a huge expansion of it. With this, the game proves to be highly challenging and more captivating than before. The mobile phone user receives an aquarium to take care of. All fishes in it come with a large numbers of individual characteristics which change as a result of their interaction with the environment.

The player must keep the aquarium's residents happy and offer them all they might need in order to survive. For many people, that proved to be quite demanding in the classic tamagotchi game. Now that the challenge has considerably increased, AquaPhone turns out to be more soliciting and addictive than ever.

The high number of 200,000 players across Russia proves that old concepts can be easily revived with just as much success as they have managed to reach in the past. Thousands of daily downloads have occurred on a daily basis in Russia and CIS countries. Moreover, players have shown their interest in this game through a large number of positive comments, letters and proposals.

AquaPhone will soon be launched at a larger scale and also be available in Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Great Britain, UAE, Egypt, India, Portugal in the near future. Moreover, Dynamic Pixels looks for a release of AquaPhone 2, a follow-up aiming for at least the same amount of success.
