| Rated A-. "Aquaria isn't so much a retro adventure as a fresh take on everything that made the old 2 D adventures great." By Chris Dahlen. |
| For the first hour, Aquaria seems like nothing more than a cute gamea 2D adventure about a paper do ll-style amphibian girl who lives... |

| Aquaria PC Review - Page 1 | Eurogamer.net |
| http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/aquaria-review |
| Rated 7/10. "Aquaria's certainly prone to leaving you disorientated, some of its puzzles are quite o blique and it's in no hurry to tell you what to do, and its mechanics lack the inventiveness of a ga me like Zelda, but then the fact it's two friends coding together over the Internet shouldn't be ove rlooked when taking note of the fact that they come surprisingly close." |
