By Vanessa Cruz

Fishdom is quickly becoming the biggest craze in online games. It is being talked about on all the major sites and even as forums that are popping up devoted specifically to this game. Spend a couple minutes playing Fishdom and you will soon see why. Are

At first glance, Fishdom appears to be like many of the other games, but that impression changes as soon as you start playing. About two minutes into the game you realize that this is something completely different and there is a very good chance can get hooked.

After you download the trial version of the game, you have one hour of playing time to decide whether or not you'd like to purchase the game to be able to play it all the time. It will probably take you about five minutes to reach for your credit card. Don't take my word for it though, make sure you use your full hour to check out all the different aspects of the game.

The game offers quick tutorial to help you learn the nuances of the game. It doesn't take long and is well worth the time. The basic concept of the game that you have been in the fish tank that needs to be filled in a manner that keep your fish happy then you have to go out and earn more money to buy more stuff. The process repeats itself over and over, but it is amazing how much fun it is.

The tutorial walks you through the purchase of your first fish and then since you were out of money, it's a shoe over the proposal portion of the game where you can earn more. You were quickly reminded of games like Tetris as you have to combine tiles that have the same image on them and try to rid the screen of a certain type of tile to complete the level. Once you complete the level you will receive your cash for the combinations and speed in which you have done it.

In order to complete the puzzle, you'll have to combine three similar pieces in consecutive order. You will also see outlined pieces that must be removed or you cannot move on through that level. If you take too long to destroy them, more will eventually appear and you'll have the also kill those to finish.

You can be awarded tiles that will show an image of dynamite, bombs or rockets that will take out more than just a row there are attached in. The best piece is the lightning bolt, you can move this on top of any symbol and it will take out that symbol everywhere in the puzzle.

When the level is over and complete, you are where your cash and now you can go back to your tank and add new things. You can buy another fish, you can get plants or comfort features for the tank. You have to max out all three categories in order to get the championship cup and move up to the new tank. You have to make sure you pay attention to your fish because an idea bubble will pop over top of them and you will have to get the item that they desire to keep them happy. It sounds simple, but before you know it hours of past and you are still looking to spend more time playing Fishdom. - 16039
