Clockwork Aquario is a traditional 2D platformer that is the unfinished project of the now bankrupt Westone studio. The game was polished by ININ Games and published by Strictly Limited Games.
Clockwork Aquario is a classic 2D platformer in which we play as three distinct characters. Development of this game started back in 1993 in Westone studio, but it wasn't finished then. After years the task of polishing the work was taken over by ININ Games. The publisher is Strictly Limited Games.
Clockwork Aquario is a classic 2D side-scroller. The game is about completing levels - it requires jumping over fragments of the terrain and eliminating enemies that appear. The game uses the classic "live" system (we can approach a given level several times, losing one attempt at each defeat).
It is worth noting that during the game we can control one of three characters - each of them has different skills, as well as strengths and weaknesses.
In Clockwork Aquario we can only play solo. The core of the gameplay is the single player mode.
Clockwork Aquario has quite a pleasant 2D graphics. It has been designed in an old-school, pixel-art style - the developers have used many graphics and materials created by the Westone team. It is worth noting that the image is displayed in 4:3 format.

Destructoid: 7 / 10 by Chris Moyse
Clockwork Aquario is here. 30 years late, but soaked in old-school style. Westone Bit Entertainment’s final release would not win any awards for originality, but offers a short, fun, and attractive journey to the halcyon days of the ’90s arcade renaissance. The package on offer is a little thin, and the price will be a tad high for the average player’s taste, but important work has been done by publishers ININ Games and Strictly Limited — here’s hoping they will be rewarded in kind.
ZTGD: 8 / 10 by Ken McKown
Clockwork Aquario is a wonderful example of how awesome of a time in games we are truly in. A forgotten gem that likely would have never seen the light of day makes an appearance some 30 years later. I had a blast with its simple mechanics and gorgeous art style. If you are like me and grew up hanging out in arcades far too much, this one will spark that childhood nostalgia we all strive for as we grow old and jaded. Definitely recommended.
God is a Geek: 10 / 10 by Sean Smith
Clockwork Aquario is a restorative labour of love 27 years in the making. What’s not to like?
