No sign-in panel stands in the way. -- When you are ready, save your progress by linking Google, X or Apple. Signing out as a guest warns you first, so a tank is never lost by accident. -- Sign in with Apple now works on the web and in the desktop app. -- Opened Fishies inside Instagram, TikTok or Facebook? Sign-in now tells you to open it in your browser instead of failing quietly. Guest play works everywhere. -- Your first egg hatches in seconds, so you meet your fish right away. -- Choosing your keeper name is what opens chat, visits and Open Water. - -#### A new glass interface - -- The whole game moved into glass: a level ring up top, a tool dock along the bottom of the tank, and a simple menu. -- Shop, level-up, news and settings open as rooms in the same deep-blue glass, and fit a phone held either way. -- Coming back shows how long you were away and what happened, card by card. -- Explore lives in the dock, with keepers who are online right now up front. Long names no longer get cut off. -- Right-click puts down the tool in your hand without opening a menu underneath. -- The loading screen is a small reef of its own: fish dive in from above the water as the tank fills. -- Each new release greets you once with its notes when you come back. - -#### Your account - -- A proper account centre, on its own page and inside the game: your aquarium, sign-in methods, badges, notifications and language. -- You can permanently delete your account from there. -- Aquariums without a name show as their keeper's aquarium. - -#### Stash, gifts and the shop - -- A stash: buy now, place later. Fish and decorations both wait there. -- Gifts wait safely in the other keeper's stash, eggs included, so nothing starts hatching until they place it. A gift sent on a shaky connection arrives once. -- A cart in the shop: fill it and check out once. -- Pick the sand your tank sits on. - -#### Together - -- Open Water is open: swim out as one of your own fish, zoom in and out, and find everyone on the map. -- Visit a friend's aquarium and join it as a fish, and watch its keeper feed and level up live. -- Chat is always open, with a channel for the tank you are in, whispers from level 10, painted emotes, and a card when you tap someone's name. -- Aquariums show their followers and stars, and you can star the ones you love. -- Block and report keepers; reports are reviewed by hand. - -#### Fish, music and looks - -- Fish loosely shoal with their own kind, rush their food, and big schools keep their spacing. -- Hungry fish show it straight away, and fourteen species got a fresher look. -- New music: Kelp Lullaby is the main theme, Coral Crossing follows it, and the jukebox lets you pick which tracks take turns. -- A new mascot, a new tab icon, and a press kit page. - -#### Words and privacy - -- Fishies uses one simple word for each thing: aquarium, food, News. The English is shorter and clearer. -- The Turkish version has been rewritten to read naturally. -- No more cookie popup: page counts are kept on our own server, and nothing is tracked about you personally. -- The home page leads with one clear way in, and news and patch notes live on the blog, in your language when it has been written. - ### 0.5.0 · Waterline, clearer 2026-09-09 · [read on
