Minasoko

A planted tank that keeps living, whether or not you are watching

Water, light, plants and fish, and the small things in the sand that turn what sinks into something new. Time passes in the tank even while the app is closed: when you open it again, it catches up on the time you were away. It looks after itself well, but not perfectly.

How to look

Drag
Move your view around the tank, and look down into it or up from the sand.
Pinch and twist
Pinch to come closer or move back; twist to turn the view.
Double-tap
Return to the starting view.
Touch the lamp
Switches the light on or off for a while. It goes back to its usual hours after ten minutes, or at its next scheduled change, whichever comes first.
Press and hold the sand
Shows what lies under that spot and what happened near it. Let go to come back to now.
