Plus another thing I like very much: the price of background enhancements doesn't seem to increase. Now there is much more place for decorations and so they aren't as crowded as, for example, in the most extreme example - the holiday game(s). The games I liked best in terms of graphics were beautiful, but had the disadvantage that the appearance of the background was fully predetermined and no decorations could be put there. As in "Fishdom 3", decorations have the advantage over previous releases that they can be resized and put in almost all parts of the screen. While I generally liked the graphical style of "Fishdom 2" and the spin-off titles "Seasons Under the Sea" / "Holiday Edition" and "H2O" best, I greatly appreciate the graphics. There even seems to be a "consolation prize": when playing without a timer, you don't get a time bonus, but the level bonus is slightly higher. The oil will spread unless a match is made next to it and, if there is an oil barrel on the level, it can't be completely removed, the player just has to complete a level while also taking care to keep the oil in check.Īs before, the game also offers an easier "Relaxed gameplay" mode in which the timer and also the two most difficult impediments: oil and time bombs can be switched off. For example the game includes new impediments: old tires (they can be "recycled" by making a match next to them, but unlike boxes and frozen pieces, can be directly swapped with other tiles), time bombs (they need to be defused by matching them with pieces of the same color) and oil. Some new features have been introduced (I will elaborate more on the unfortunate changes to the bonus system in "The Bad"). Unfortunately, the amount of points received is quite small and, as before, the game progresses very slowly after the first few experience levels. Since most achievements are won in match-3 gameplay, not in aquarium area, an icon indicating a new achievement appears and the player can pick up prize for this achievement. Now also each completed level gives not only virtual money, but also some experience points, both money and points are also given for each achievement. In "Depths of Time" the abovementioned lacks were corrected. Achievements are a popular idea in games since the advent of platforms such as Steam, but not always are they really integrated with the rest of the game and in "Fishdom 3" they weren't. Achievements weren't integrated with gameplay - they were just an extra feature, just for satisfaction. Experience points were only given for purchases, their results such as winning a cup, and for feeding fish and cleaning tanks. In "Fishdom 3" the system of experience points wasn't fully developed yet. Making this comparison is also useful insofar that it allows noticing a few improvements. It's closest to "Fishdom 3": the same graphical style, the same gameplay mechanic with no level score, a simplified system of cups for well-developed aquariums and experience points. "Fishdom: Depths of Time" could actually be called "Fishdom 4" because it's clearly the latest part of the basic series. A rather loosely-defined theme which unites them all is time travel and so all eight styles are related to some time and place: prehistory, classical antiquity, the legendary Atlantis, pre-Columbian Central America, European medieval period, fantasy world, the future and outer space. ![]() Bonuses have also undergone substantial changes.Īs before, tanks in up to eight different styles can be bought and decorated. Apart from the familiar puzzles in which the goal is to clear all silver and golden spaces, now the game also includes levels in which the goal is to dig out all gold or gems (introduced previously, but only as a bonus addition) and levels in which the player has to let diamonds drop to the bottom of the field by making matches under them. The game retains changes introduced in the previous installment, but also substantial new modifications, such as new impediments, and, first of all, new kinds of gameplay. It combines puzzle gameplay (match-3 tile puzzles) with virtual pet care: virtual money gained through playing puzzle levels can be spent on aquarium fish and decorations. "Fishdom: Depths of Time" is the 2014 installment of the Fishdom puzzle game series, a direct continuation of "Fishdom 3". ![]() ![]() It is not like she just worries for him, she “fears” for him. In A1 S5 Lady Macbeth says she “fears” Macbeth’s “nature.” This is important for two reasons: firstly, it seems very extreme to argue that you “fear” something in a family member. It is interesting to wonder whether it was the same lack of understanding that made Macbeth such a ruthless killer in the start that also made him such a poor king when the time came. ![]() Everything Macbeth did was, ultimately, for nothing. He says it is full of “sound and fury” – a clear reference to the violence that is inherent in so much of Shakespeare and Macbeth’s worlds of fighting, witch burning, reformations, and royal wars.įinally, he says that life “signifies nothing.” More than any other quote this reveals Macbeth’s final depression: life has no deeper meaning. He calls it a “tale told by an idiot.” This would have been an almost comical metaphor for Shakespeare, since he was the one who told Macbeth’s tale! Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.īy A5 S5, Macbeth is in deep despair: life has lost all meaning. You could easily argue that her spirits, became his scorpions. It is also interesting to compare this quote to Lady Macbeth’s desire to pour her “sprits” into his ear. Also, as they are ground dwelling killers, like snakes, they call to mind the way that Satan appeared in the Bible, which immediately references the witches’ and their evil desires. Scorpions are creatures that are both poisonous and have sharp claws, so they can attack with both ends – deadly. In A3 S2 Macbeth says his mind is “full of scorpions.” Here, he uses a metaphor to say how painful even thinking has become – he is displaying signs of madness. O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife! This euphamism shows both how much Macbeth views killing as a job, rather than a horrific event, and also the fact that there really is no other reason to kill Duncan other than the “business.” Here, he refers to the murder of Duncan as a “business” a noun that suggests he sees it as a part of a job, something for which he is being paid. In A1 S7 Macbeth tells his LM that he will “proceed no further in this business.” This is one of the few moments in the play where he stands up to his wife. We will proceed no further in this business: |
