Was Fun For A While
I just downloaded this game today, and it was pretty fun. For about two seconds. I guess at the beginning you’re supposed to start off small but I would say at least put in bigger fish that you can see, even if you can’t catch them. It would make the game a lot more fun trying to get bigger fish and maybe even failing, more than sitting there swiping the screen to get tiny fish. And maybe include danger like shark attacks, or maybe you can go to a marketplace or something, or rent an apartment to keep trophies for completing challenges or something. I didn’t get very far before deleting the game, so maybe some of this stuff is already in the game, but it seems useless to play the game. What goal are you trying to reach by playing? Maybe there should be a big fish competition like who brings in the most or biggest fish at the end of the day? This game fell a little short of my expectations. Maybe I’ll download it again sometime soon. Just some suggestions. -MercuryTheCriticalShow lessElla Bella 5095447
Okay Game
I have been playing for a little over a week now and have noticed that most of the progress costs gems that you can buy with real money. I am only playing this game to pass time when I’m bored and don’t want to spend $100 to progress and buy more crew members. There is a way of getting gems for free and that is playing all the time to get 1-15 gems out of a chest you can pick up or spinning the wheel and trying to get the jackpot. I have tried over the past 3 days to get the jackpot that only keeps rising in amount of gems it’s worth, but never landing on it. I’ve noticed that the spinner has no randomness to it and is fixed to land in almost the exact same spot every time. This spot changes from day to day, but I can spin it 100 times in a day and it will land in the same 2 spots on opposite sides of the spinner, never hitting the jackpot. So basically I’ve wasted my time watching thousands of ads for pretty much no reward for what seems like it could take a week to get a jackpot, it’s absolutely ridiculous.Show lessLazy Janitors
Good Time Spender
Basically the premises of this game is that you swipe the seas for fish, and each and every fish you catch will give you money instantly after catching. With that money, you buy upgrades that are usually based around more money per catch, more idle money, etc. You can also visit deeper waters, which have more valuable fish. When you get enough experience from the different fish you come across, you can ‘Collect’ the experience, which gives you more overall profit gain, along with the upgrades, but you’ll have to restart.
The game is pretty rewarding, and good for those kind of people who like seeing numbers go up and up and up. I’d definitely suggest this to anybody who hasn’t tried it yet, and has some time on their hands.
I may edit this with any additional bugs or information I come across, but until then, this game is pretty good in my books.Show lessLord Danks Memes
Please don’t play this game
This game is incredibly addicting. It uses large numbers in the form of monetary rewards to create a false sense of novelty for its players. As a result, one will find themselves spending exorbitant amounts of time mindlessly swiping at the screen while concurrently amassing a wealth greater than the world’s total net worth and beyond. While enticing, goals become increasing unreachable and only attainable through a monetary investment in “gems”. In fact, it is nearly impossible to reach the final level, and for a purpose — to convince players of its constant sense of progression. Once your earnings seem to plateau you are sent back to the beginning, only this time, each successive level becomes easier to pass than before — deceptively regenerating the players’ faith in the game, only to hold them stagnantly at the final levels. The creators surely understand psychological/neurological principals of consumption. As such, they feed the consumers’ desires to progress mindlessly. In summation, do not waste your time with this game. It is uncreative, driven by profit, and will surely brainwash you to become a hopeless pawn of our greedy capitalistic society.Show lessanhonestreview1
Advertisement loading time issue
When I started playing this game I thought it took me at least a few months to make it towards the end and with the help of these crew members, they were able to boost your progress quicker as you upgrade them, but as you get more crew members they become more expensive the problem is this, the way you get gems is to watch an advertisement to claim them, that also includes 2x bonus from packages, spinning the wheel, idle bonus, and even 3 extra gems from watching the first ad, but there’s a little bug that would take at least 5 or more mins to wait for the ad to load, normally it takes a few seconds to load and it would take me weeks to get another crew member if the ads load for so long. Please fix this issue so everyone doesn’t have to wait a few mins just to watch a 30 second ad to load.Show lessIonicHyperspace
Good overall
Overall I really like this game. It’s very addicting once you get started, and you can also leave and still make money. The problem is this: you spend a bunch of money to upgrade different things and for the time being those upgrades seem to really be upgraded. Also there are more fish that will swim around when you upgrade stuff. The problem is that if you give it a couple hours, that upgrade becomes pointless, and stops producing the amounts they did for those few hours and basically make you just spend more money for that to happen to you again. If that could be changed than the game would be better. To give an example, I upgraded the boxes that float down the river to give me more money. When I did that it would give me like at least 600 million. Now it only gives me less that 100 million. That’s really annoying.Show lessTati1721
ADD MORE FISH
Game is really fun til you hit about the 12th spot on the map. I get the devs probably want the game to last you a while but adding in more fish would make the game much more interesting and give you more of a reason to keep playing... I’m talking like at least double the amount of fish there is now. One new type that spawns on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, etc... one for every month of the year... holiday fish... more fish like the sword whale that spawn after a certain amount of time (1hr then 2 hr then 3hr) also adding a whole extra set of maps that you can visit for and allotted amount of time and keep your progress (say 30 minutes for 20 gems or something) where you have the chance to catch certain fish. Mix it up more, it’s getting too repetitive. Other than that, 4 stars, amazing game. Girlfriend and I play and help each other out on our phones while we watch tv at night after getting home from a long day of school/work.Show lessKAZMATTAZ777
“My Review.”
“This game is fun! I think there should be a bit more fish. So here’s some ideas. Like add something called a raspberry dice fish it’s a square fish that’s white with red dots like the color of a raspberry and it’s eye is red with it on a dot. Then there’s the Pyro Pyramid Whale. It’s a yellow gold orange it’s usually found in the morning and it’s front is a pyramid shape and it’s eye is a peanut butter color. Then there’s a miniature pyro pyramid whale called a sunbutter dolphin. It’s also in the mornings and it’s smaller than a dolphin and its the size of a Greybob. It has black lines. That’s it. Hope you add my ideas :D if you do please give me credit. :D Il make more reviews about more fish ideas. And some ideas to add into the game. And the raspberry dice fish is common! The sunbutter dolphin is common same with the pyro pyramid whale and they are so super duper truper quadruper easy to catch.”Show less"Lupin"
Fun but plz fix bug
This game is fun and I really am hooked ;) I like this game and it is really fun and doesn’t need your full attention, but my goals aren’t working. My goal is to reach 200 fishing Exp, and I am at 528 Exp, but it still says I’m only 50% there. So now there is no way for me to get a new goal so I am unable to get the benefits from goals, which is annoying. Not being able to get the rewards from goals makes it harder for me to purchase the expensive crew. Also sometimes when you watch an ad to get a prize or something, when I watch the ad I don’t always get the prize. This is annoying cause I just then wasted 30 seconds of my life. Also as a warning, if you collect your fishing Exp you restart. More item slots would be better too. I really like this game and I would give it a higher rating but there are some changes that need to be made cause I am upset about the goal thing, please fix this!!! It is fun and you would definitely get hooked.Show lesshsob37
Is developing into a great game
What I love about this game is how the gem currency isn’t such a blockade. It takes a lot of adds but at least it’s possible within the day to get multiple upgrades to items and crew members threw spinning the wheel. Some descriptions of items or crew and what they do have been unclear to me and still are. I wish there was a little “Fisherman’s Manual.” Eagerly waiting for them to name the fish in the later levels, design and add more fish and levels. Add a crew member that gives you more item slots. I feel there are too many really good items that you want to be using at the same tim but can’t. Epic cards are way too rare. I got 1 from the 1050 chest with a possible of 1-4. I strongly believe with that many gems, at least 3 should be guaranteed considering people may spend money to buy these chests instead of spinning the wheel. Taking that into consideration, their store is currently overpriced. I only buy during promotions.Show lessSaronnia
