Gameplay

It is the first title in a series of "interactive art" software requiring a connected PlayStation Eye. The player uses their own fingers to feed the tropical salt water fishes (food will drop) or to virtually touch the water surface with their hands. As a life simulation game, the fishes interact with the motion sensitive camera and between themselves, also the vegetation moves with the current.

Fish species

By default the aquarium's fishes are selected at random with all kind of species, however by pressing the Start button, the player has the ability to choose them.

It is possible to select a single species (each one with its own character: small ones are energetic and gregarious, biggest are generally calm and lone) to mix them or even to not include fish at all and leave the aquarium with only corals and the resident red-knobbed sea star.

Remote Play

Aqua Vita is compatible with the Remote Play function and as such can run on an activated PlayStation Portable through a wi-fi connection.
