Sword & Llama

In development · Steam first, Android to follow

Plant it, light it, fill it — then let people come and watch. A cozy aquascaping game with no timers you can lose to and nothing that dies while you're away.

How it plays

Three things, on repeat, forever

Shape the water

Sculpt substrate into hills and valleys, plant carpets and stems, and place hardscape until the tank reads the way you want it to. There's no correct layout — only the one you keep looking at.

Keep it liveable

Every species has a temperature it's happy in. Match the tank to the fish, run the squeegee over the glass when algae creeps in, and the rest takes care of itself.

Open it up

People show up to watch. Sponsors call you — actually call you — with jobs that fit what you've built. Do them or don't; the tank is still yours.
