## What is PixOcean?

PixOcean — Pixel Ocean lets you raise fish on your desktop! And the fish move!

A desktop widget built entirely on standard system APIs, optimized for low resource usage.

As you cultivate your sea, you’ll see more and more fish!

You can also assemble various parts to accelerate the sea’s growth and quickly attract more fish.

Integrated with your step count: use movement to level up your sea and enrich its biodiversity.

Just like caring for a real aquarium, you’ll improve every aspect of the habitat to better attract schools of fish.

PixOcean adopts a pixel-art aesthetic with depth and dimensionality, offering a rich variety of marine life.

When your sea is teeming with fish, they’ll sometimes swim into the distance, becoming lively vistas; other times they’ll come right up to the screen, weaving nimbly at your fingertips.

Whether it’s a quick peek or a quiet gaze, you’ll feel a continuous, light sense of companionship.

- Lifelike, nuanced motion: every fish has its own swimming rhythm
- A sustainable growth loop: your steps are the bait; your daily routine drives progression
- Soothing companionship: a pocket-sized sea to enjoy between commutes, work, and rest
- Efficient power use and stable performance: worry-free even during long-running animation
- Pixel texture meets modern design: a balanced blend of retro charm and lively motion that gets better the more you look

### 4/5 — 换新手机后如何同步旧手机数据呢？

*2026-04-27*

换新手机后重新下载了App，但只能从最初始的状态重新开始养鱼，图鉴全部没有保留，没有找到可以同步数据的地方。

### 5/5 — 分享领奖励

*2026-04-18*

目前分享领奖励功能异常，望尽快修补。另，希望能有更多的好友互动成分

### 1/5 — 一直不支持applewatch

*2026-03-09*

就是看见说会很快支持applewatch才买的，这都过去几个月了，一点动静也没有。。。这不太好吧。。

### 1/5 — 步数要是两三天没充入就没了 白走了

*2026-02-26*

步数要是两三天没充入就没了 白走了

### 5/5 — 很好玩

*2026-02-05*

无脑堆蜂巢就是最优解

### 1/5 — 我的商店有bug

*2026-01-31*

我的商店要等一年才刷新，是不是出bug了，快给我解决一下

### 5/5 — 更新后黑屏了我哭死

*2026-01-09*

整体很不错 就是发现一只粉紫色背后长一堆蓝色角的鱼放鱼缸里就会变成绿色鱼 希望修复bug 而且更新之后黑屏了看不到鱼鱼们了😭

### 3/5 — 创意很好但是可玩性太低了

*2026-01-07*

卡牌融合看似增加了玩法，但是融合的加成速度远赶不上升级所需的经验值，而且融合后还会掉数值。过于混乱的融合词条配合这个奇怪的数值系统导致后期可玩性几乎没有。完全无法激起玩家继续融合的欲望

### 3/5 — 造景包

*2026-01-03*

说可以在管理海域里使用，但是点击管理海域就只有一个收费项目，根本用不了造景包啊。

### 2/5 — 我买断之后出现了两个相同的app

*2025-12-30*

删掉以后再重新下载，我的等级清零了，没意思😥
