Every tank tells
a different story.

Aqua Breed combines a long-running aquarium with breeding decisions, creature care, collection growth, and spaces built for different kinds of ocean life.

01 · BREED

Traits carry forward

Color, pattern, size, vitality, speed, luck, generation, and rarity shape each new creature.

02 · GROW

Care over time

Raise animals through multiple life stages, keep habitats powered and fed, and build a collection with history.

03 · EXPLORE

Unlock habitats

Move from the starting aquarium into showcase, deep-sea, blacklight, island, and large-ocean spaces.

04 · COLLECT

A living marine catalog

Fish, sharks, rays, whales, turtles, invertebrates, corals, and unusual deep-water life all have a place.

From the current
development build.

Real iPhone-aspect captures from the working Unity build. Interface, art, balancing, and availability may change before release.

Built for iPhone.
Not rushed out.

The App Store record is reserved, but the public download stays closed until the signed iPhone build, privacy answers, and device testing are complete.

Current release plan

First TestFlight candidate

  • iPhone-only Unity build with local, versioned save data.
  • No production ads or in-app purchases in the first candidate.
  • Physical-device checks for safe areas, notifications, saving, backgrounding, and orientation.
  • App Store screenshots will be recaptured from the exact signed iPhone build.

Future options

Monetization only after validation

Optional rewarded ads and premium currency are designed into the game, but they will remain unavailable until production providers, StoreKit products, disclosures, restore behavior, and device tests are complete.

No cash payout, investment return, or real-world financial reward is promised by Aqua Breed. Game currencies and values are gameplay systems.
