Welcome to Pixel Bay, a relaxing game that brings together aquarium care, charming pixel art, and match-3 puzzles. Build Your Pixel Aquarium Collect clownfish, blue tangs, puffers, and angelfish. Feed them, interact with them, and keep their water clean as they grow from young fish into adults. Meet Every Companion Give each fish a name and discover its age, personality, growth status, and companionship level. The longer you stay together, the closer your friendship becomes. Decorate Your Underwater Home Collect seaweed, coral, treasure chests, and castles. Move decorations freely and create a pixel aquarium that feels completely your own. Play Starry Match-3 Puzzles Swap neighboring tiles, create matches, trigger cascades, and collect stars before you run out of moves. Earn shells and fish food, then bring your rewards back to the aquarium. Relaxed, Pressure-Free Care Your fish continue progressing while you are away. Low conditions may pause growth, but fish never die and you never suffer permanent loss. Keep Your Progress Safe Fish status, names, decorations, resources, and high scores are saved automatically on your device. Optional iCloud saves let you back up and restore your progress. Helpful Reminders Choose whether to receive care alerts, growth updates, companionship milestones, or a gentle daily reminder. Return to Pixel Bay and meet your first underwater companion today.
