The Amazing Virtual Sea-Monkeys was a licensed game developed by Creature Labs in 2000-2001, predictably based around Sea-Monkeys. The player controls Nautila, a “babelfish” which is used to indirectly influence the environment within a huge water tank. Nautila has to suck up dangerous fish, clear rocks, supply food etc. for brine shrimps resembling the Sea Monkeys brand.

The Sea Monkeys try to reach a Venus Shell as soon as they are hatched. If Nautila is not fast enough to clear the puzzles preventing the Sea Monkeys from reaching their shell, they will perish. The game involved training, nurturing and playing with your Sea-Monkeys, who lived in a single metaroom consisting of a large and fairly plain rocky water area.

Which you could decorate with ‘upgrades’ such as food, small groups of fish and other aquatic life, and various more sophisticated objects, up to an environmental monitoring machine and a large castle. You paid for the ‘upgrades’ by using pearls, which you would have to obtain by using your Sea-Monkeys to pick them up from the game area.
