A few days ago I encountered something undeniably strange by a complete accident. My sister and I were skyping and reminiscing about old video games we played as kids. One of them was something she couldn't recall the name of, and so she looked up the description of it online. That description brought up a completely other game.

It's called NEO-AQUARIUM: King of the Crustaceans. It's a game about Crustaceans that shoot lasers. If that doesn't strike you as weird, then maybe these five reasons that NEO-AQUARIUM is the weirdest game ever, will:

1. You get to play as your favorite crustacean

Yup, you read that right. This game gives you a seafood bake selection of all your favorite expensive dinners. You have Lobster, a handful of crabs (including a hermit crab, complete with shell changing action), and barnacles. Okay maybe they aren't all crustaceans or good to eat, but you certainly have a selection of a variety of everyone's favorite sea insects.

This game even has unlockable characters that you can work to unlock. The game doesn't tell you how to unlock them, but one can assume that you must fight your way through the "story" mode (if it can even be called that) in order to unlock all five of the mystery fish/crustaceans.

2. Everything seems a bit random

While playing this game you'll get the distinct feeling that you have no idea what is going on. Get used to that, I've played this game for a bit now, and I still have no idea what is happening. Occasionally things will explode because your enemy did something, sometimes starfish will come out of nowhere and attack you. You can also pick up some sea life to use as weapons or command other kinds like the aforementioned starfish.

More often than not you'll find yourself saying weird things like, "swim faster you dumb fish" and "why does that crab have disco lasers?" If that's not three dollars well spent, I don't know what is.

3. Playing it feels like trying to fly a drunken submarine

The controls are just about the worse that you can get. They are weird, unexplained and sometimes result in you knocking yourself out of the game. Whoever made this game decided that putting the swim button onto the shift key was a good idea, which anyone who has ever accidentally pressed that key five times in a row knows is a bad experience. If you've never had that happen, spam the shift key real fast and your computer will pop open a window asking you to turn on "sticky keys." When you find yourself trying to swim at an even level, you will often cause this to pop up, then you'll get knocked out of the game. So don't try to swim level.

Worse yet, sometimes you'll start swimming sideways in a way that doesn't make much sense. But then again, this whole game doesn't make sense in a charming Goat Simulator kind of way.

4. There is a weird story about interdimensional aquariums

Yeah, this game has a story mode. It isn't much more than a series of aquatic laser battles with some random text between them but it exists. As one could expect from a game like this, the story is filled with weirdness, puns, and interdimensional aquariums. From what I understand, this game is telling the story of aquariums that can somehow teleport to each other. Naturally, that has lead to a society that pits sea life against each other in messed up cage fights. Also somehow the creatures shoot lasers. It doesn't make much sense, and somehow I think that's the point.

5. Did I mention that the game is about sea life shooting lasers?

More importantly, this game is just a dumb experience full of laser imbued crustaceans. It makes no sense, doesn't have much to the gameplay and will only provide for an hour or so of fun. This is a game best played with friends so you can take turns roasting it. So get some friends together, and get ready to loose some braincells to the madness below.

You can find NEO-AQUARIUM on Steam.
