The app can display up to three fish simultaneously and allows one to interact with the fish, objects, and water surface through touch and tilt. Watch as goldfish playfully swim towards your finger, and be cautious – too much tapping might make them faint.
The latest Ryukin update introduced three new goldfish and two new tanks featuring aquatic plants along with various objects. As shown in Masataka Hakozaki's demo at the top of the article, the next release will add the highly anticipated clock function.
