Since most achievements are won in match-3 gameplay, not in aquarium area, an icon indicating a new achievement appears and the player can pick up prize for this achievement. Now also each completed level gives not only virtual money, but also some experience points, both money and points are also given for each achievement. In 'Depths of Time' the abovementioned lacks were corrected. Achievements are a popular idea in games since the advent of platforms such as Steam, but not always are they really integrated with the rest of the game and in 'Fishdom 3' they weren't. Achievements weren't integrated with gameplay - they were just an extra feature, just for satisfaction. Experience points were only given for purchases, their results such as winning a cup, and for feeding fish and cleaning tanks. In 'Fishdom 3' the system of experience points wasn't fully developed yet.

Making this comparison is also useful insofar that it allows noticing a few improvements. It's closest to 'Fishdom 3': the same graphical style, the same gameplay mechanic with no level score, a simplified system of cups for well-developed aquariums and experience points. 'Fishdom: Depths of Time' could actually be called 'Fishdom 4' because it's clearly the latest part of the basic series. A rather loosely-defined theme which unites them all is time travel and so all eight styles are related to some time and place: prehistory, classical antiquity, the legendary Atlantis, pre-Columbian Central America, European medieval period, fantasy world, the future and outer space. Bonuses have also undergone substantial changes.Īs before, tanks in up to eight different styles can be bought and decorated. Apart from the familiar puzzles in which the goal is to clear all silver and golden spaces, now the game also includes levels in which the goal is to dig out all gold or gems (introduced previously, but only as a bonus addition) and levels in which the player has to let diamonds drop to the bottom of the field by making matches under them.

The game retains changes introduced in the previous installment, but also substantial new modifications, such as new impediments, and, first of all, new kinds of gameplay. It combines puzzle gameplay (match-3 tile puzzles) with virtual pet care: virtual money gained through playing puzzle levels can be spent on aquarium fish and decorations. 'Fishdom: Depths of Time' is the 2014 installment of the Fishdom puzzle game series, a direct continuation of 'Fishdom 3'.
