5 | The game was originally developed in 1992 for the [[MediaNotes/ArcadeGame Sega System 18]] to really push its graphical capabilities to their limits. However, between the rising popularity of {{Fighting Game}}s and 3D gaming, and poor feedback in location testing in 1993, it was cancelled. The rights were then bought by Strictly Limited Games from Creator/{{Sega}} in 2017, and rebuilt with the help of ININ Games and former Westone staff. The game was ultimately released for the Platform/NintendoSwitch and Platform/PlayStation4 on November the 30th, 2021. |

7 | !!''Clockwork Aquario'' contains examples of the following tropes: |
8 | * ActionGirl: Elle Moon, being one of the player characters, can battle robots as good as Huck and Gush. |
9 | * BigBad: Dr. Hangyo, who wants to TakeOverTheWorld with an army of wind-up sea creatures. |
10 | * GiantEnemyCrab: The second boss is a crab-shaped mech that Dr. Hangyo drives back and forth while leaving little robotic crabs behind. |
11 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: The player characters can pick up stunned enemies and throw them at other enemies. |
12 | * MechaMooks: Most of the enemies are wind-up sea creatures. |
13 | * MercyInvincibility: You get a very brief invincibility period when you get hit or respawn. Unusually, bosses ''don't'', which means that a well-timed and positioned jump can drain their health a lot faster than you'd expect. |
14 | * OffWithHisHead: If Gush takes enough damage, his head falls off, revealing the spring underneath it. |
15 | * SpikyHair: Spiky green hair in Huck's case. |
16 | * TopHeavyGuy: Gush's shoulders are wider than his waist, so his body curves accordingly. |
17 | * WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: Happens whenever the player character loses a life. If you still have available lives, you can reposition the angel somewhere on the screen to where you want them to respond. |
