This video reminds me of fond memories. When I was young, I really love guppies and I managed to finish the whole game using guppies only, it took me a whole week, but the sight of tank(s) full of king guppies made me felt very satisfied.
Ayy i know how you feel because I played in the exact same way! I never really learned about the more other pets and strategies until I started speedrunning the game
i didnt know how to play so i just spamed guppies and spammed the click feed button to the point where they were dropping like a thousand coins a second and every time i clicked away to do an upgrade like 10 guppies would starve 😂
Truly a speedrunning category thats worth a summoning salt video. Do you ever plan to speedrun the adventure mode?( Not bonus adventure or rng manipulation)
king guppy as a strat is probably one of the SLOWEST in the game since he's too slow to appear (around 10-15 min mark if you play normally) + not too rewarding. But seeing my Guppies turn into King & keeping him alive feels so worth it
I remember playing tank 4 with just breeders and guppies cause I hate the other two fishes and had a couple king guppies before i can buy finish the level
I did the same thing! Ultravores are scary to manage because they have to eat the carnivores who eat the guppies. But what you can do is just have 0 carnivores, and buy them only when the ultravores are starving, which makes it much simpler.
Ah remember when i was still a young teen playing this. Took me three whole days to finish the last lvl before the boss. Only used breeders n guppies to do it. Took a while cuz i needed to make alot of kings to get alot of diamonds. Maxed out food type and number lead to alot of finger pain when trying to feed many dosens of fish. Gumbo, gash and meril is what i used for that lvl. Weird how i still remember all this
Great work as always, this run looked so chill compared to the normal haha. Wish this was a category on src. Think you'll do a run with tier 3 food now to see if it does end up being faster? Genuinely curious if the trade off is worth it
Honestly I don't want to go through the trouble of testing it 😅 We did some math in the insaniquarium discord: compared to food2, food3 is 1.5x as nutritious, but you have to wait 1.57x to 1.8x as long to feed again (depending on how early you feed), so food2 should be better. For a king guppy the difference is over 1 min if you're frame perfect.
When you start a level, both of the starting fish have a set growth rate that is determined by RNG. Growing in 1 Zorf food means it's the fastest possible growth rate, which means 2 foods to grow again and 30 more to become King. When you relaunch the game, the RNG seed is reset to a specific value, and starting the level with the same pets guarantees the exact same spawn locations and fish growth. By clicking the mermaid or moving through the menus, you can manually advanced the RNG seed, which changes what RNG you get in the tank you enter. There's more detail in the Insaniquarium discord, but basically I use trial and error to see what menu actions force fast fish growth. With this level and this pet combo, it's 2 mermaid clicks. Not sure about the virtual aquarium, but it's unlikely that this would work.
@@doodle1181 I absolutely love this game, didn't know this game still had an active community, much less a Discord server. Where can I find a link for the Insaniquarium discord server?
Each food item is different in 2 ways: amount of "growth" given to the fish, and amount of time the fish stays full for. The pill makes the fish grow more than the green food, BUT it makes the fish stay full for so long that I can't feed it again for a while. Doing the math, the green one leads to faster growth overall.

Haven't played this game in over 10 years but the algorithm still knows to take me here.
I didn't even think level 3 food would be sub-optimal, that's so cool

I'm planning to soon!

I like how informative u are. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you!
I actually remember playing this game and once got three king guppies in one tank and let them die to the aliens. I had no remorse when I was a kid
You're so evil 😂
Imagine being so satisfied for manufacturing your own L's.
Respect LOL.

i mean it was never meant to be a strat
its something you just lucky to get that help boosting the process of finishing the stage faster

Haha Meryl probably destroyed your finger as well
@@doodle1181 haha thats true
Meryl in tank 4 is diabolical it's hilarious lmfao
my youtube recommendation so insane, i just played insaniquarium and yet this one join the chat
ah yes my childhood game, now i want to play this game for speedrun
Love the informative commentary
Oh my not I've not seen this game in a long time, used to absolutely love it as a kid
this is the most niche thing I love LMFAOO I LOVE THIS VID MAKE MORE

@@doodle1181 understandable! I should join that discord
There's a link to it on the speedrun.com page for insaniquarium
@@doodle1181 I ended up joining shortly after my comment!
As a key d I thought it was a queen due its blue color
We siblings got always got super excited when we got her? OK him
why is this randomly popped up out of nowhere and i watched it till the end🤣
you need more subs man. keep up the good quality video!
What does King Guppy do?
They drop diamonds, which are worth 200 each. When I was a kid I used to get a tank full of king guppies before finishing the level
Btw how do you manipulate the fish to grow that fast? Also can you manipulate the fish in the virtual aquarium to grow faster too?
When you start a level, both of the starting fish have a set growth rate that is determined by RNG. Growing in 1 Zorf food means it's the fastest possible growth rate, which means 2 foods to grow again and 30 more to become King.

Not sure about the virtual aquarium, but it's unlikely that this would work.
@@doodle1181 ok i get it. Thanks for the info :)

You can find it at speedrun.com and search for Insaniquarium!
@@doodle1181 thank you!
Nostalgia 😢
nostalga of my free trial.
0:05 tail clicks? wait is that a speedrun strat
I got 5 king guppies in the 4th level, it took me 10m
I found out king guppies is really cute
No, don’t stop playing, it’s the bonus level!!! 😂 9:22
Can you do a speedrun with just guppies and no electric eel guy? I'm sorry. I know it's too much to ask.. 😅
I'm going to try speedrunning regular adventure mode soon!
Edit: I got the WR! th-cam.com/video/uvbfyqbgf1o/w-d-xo.html
Funny to think the funny fish game was the predecessor to one of, if not the most successful tower defense franchises ever
wdym
There's no way... the final cash value says BOSS!
Always wonder, where does the alien come from?
So nostalgic.
I call blue as King Fish
The star coins one as Queen Fish😂
Ive once accidentally gotten 2 king guppies in a tank full of guppies (with the help of prego)
immediately clicks the tail lol
Why keep using green stuff instead of the pill? Is it for satiety reason?
Each food item is different in 2 ways: amount of "growth" given to the fish, and amount of time the fish stays full for.
The pill makes the fish grow more than the green food, BUT it makes the fish stay full for so long that I can't feed it again for a while. Doing the math, the green one leads to faster growth overall.
just curious but why do you only grab the shells at the end?
just for fun. i dont need shells to buy anything else so it doesn't matter to me
bedlam??
Core Memory Unlocked
Is this game available for android phone?
Yes.
There's a knockoff version that's better than what you would expect from a knockoff mobile game, still kind of rough around the edges though.
@@ezzenious9923 what is the name?
We speedrunning this now hehe
You sound like Zambucha
Nice
wow nice
🔥
Wouldnt Angie would be better here?
I bonded with my sister over this game
