Otherwise love it. ### 4/5 — Süchtig machendes Spiel *2014-08-09* Doch wann gibt es endlich neue Quests? Daher 1 Stern Abzug. Suchtfaktor ist weg, wenn alle Quests abgeschlossen sind. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2014-07-12* I love this app and I can't get enough of it but sometimes the bellyfish goes the opposite direction you want to go. Also you can't do anything with the coins you collect. ### 5/5 — Супер *2014-05-12* Графика супер, управление тоже супер ### 5/5 — Классная! *2014-05-12* качайте👍 ### 5/5 — Супер *2014-05-10* Игра просто класс, понравилась как только открыла...графика супер...играть хочется постоянно. ### 4/5 — Good game *2014-05-07, version 1.3.1* A great little game to play on the go, passes the time! ### 2/5 — 🌟🌟 Прислушайтесь!!!! *2014-05-05* Думала отличная игра... Но нет(( я зашла в игру. Начала играть. Графика нормальная. Как стартанула, управляя рыбой, я увидела, что управление никчемное. Убого. Врезалась раз 5 за игру. Удалила. В общем, не понравилось! ### 5/5 — Daaa *2014-05-04* Daaa ### 5/5 — Cool *2014-04-22* Awesome app😃 Nice design!!! ### 5/5 — Geiles Spiel *2014-04-06* Super Grafik und Aufmachung. Anspruchsvolle und wird durch die Quest nicht langweilig. Nur die Kalibrierung könnte vielleicht selbstständig sein. ### 4/5 — 4 *2014-03-30* It is very good game! But it is boring, because if you played a lot of time, you will be so boring ### 5/5 — Marsianin *2014-03-22* Ништяк ### 5/5 — Amazing game. Fun and addicting *2014-03-18* Simple controls with the right amount of challenge. Fun, even when you lose and your fish gets popped! Beautiful graphics. Great fun. ### 5/5 — A Belly of Laughs *2014-03-12, version 1.3.1* A really enjoyable game that reminds me a bit of Doodle jump. It does take a long time to unlock new characters but it's fun to play casually. ### 5/5 — New iPhone user *2014-03-03* Very nice and cute game ### 5/5 — สนุก *2014-02-04* เป็นเกมส์ที่เล่นเพลิน ๆ เกมส์หนึ่ง ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Оценка *2014-04-06* Убогое управление! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-03-28* This game would actually be very fun if it didn't crash. It lets you play once then boots out. ### 1/5 — Remove ads or let me pay for it *2013-12-23, version 1.3* Too many popup ads to be kid friendly. You can redirect my kid to buy stuff only so many times before you are permanently removed from our ipad. Shame, it is a nice game. ### 1/5 — Shocking ! *2013-09-14, version 1.2* No one should play this its not worth it ! ### 1/5 — It's freezing today ! *2013-09-11* Plante de manière intempestive ### 1/5 — Bug *2013-09-08* Bug depuis la dernière version. Quand on perd, le jeu freeze... ### 1/5 — Борзые вы, товарищи *2013-09-08* Без предупреждения выставлять счет за бесплатную версию, ай, ай, ай. Борзые вы, очень борзые. Игра кстати, дурацкая. Не качайте люди, вас кинут на бабки. ### 1/5 — Поебень!!! *2013-07-28* Эта игра полная хуетень! ### 1/5 — Belly fish *2013-05-17* I can't get it to work as far as playing against someone it won't let me connect to facebook ### 2/5 — I liked the game *2014-05-09* It's a really fun game but now it's just a money trap. I got this app when it first came out but now there are adds and everything is overly expensive. Get rid if the adds. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — tilt to move *2021-02-03* 재미있네요 무엇보다 캐릭터가 너무 귀여워요. 한손으로 시간 때우기용 게임 찾고 있었는데 딱입니다 ㅎㅎ ### 5/5 — AMAZING APP⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2020-06-06* This is literally the best and the most funniest game I’ve ever played!!!!! My siblings and I played this game from since it came out and. That means we played it for years!!! Even though we’re not bored from it till now. Amazing graphics, amazing music... The app is really sooooooo funny and cute! Thanks for you to make such a fun app, and I think that you guys worked really hard to make this fantastic game!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS SO FUN! *2019-02-23* When I downloaded this I just though it was a boring mobile game but it’s turned out to be great! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2015-03-08* Liking this game very much ,graphics r very nice ### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable! Try it! *2015-01-08* Note: just got an iPad and realized it has iCloud. So happy! The most entertaining game I've played in years. Not too fast, not too slow, with tons of interesting things going on and different strategies you can try. And it makes me SMILE and LOL. Seriously funny. Beautifully designed and I've had it since the beginning and I've yet to feel even a single glitch (amazing!). Never crashes and never hesitates. Follows my movement EXACTLY. And yes, the coins do many things! Tap some buttons and find out. And you can play without having to feel frustrated or pushed to pay for coins to use. You earn them every time you play with a rollover from game to game. All around a keeper. ### 5/5 — It crashes a lot... *2014-11-03* Aside from the crashing, it’s a great, fun game ### 5/5 — Go Belly Go! *2014-10-10* Ich liebe dieses Spiel! Süße Optik, coole Steuerung, immer wieder neue Herausfirderungen-einfach genial! Man kann es sich einfach machen und Features kaufen, man kann es aber auch "ehrlich" durchspielen und sich alle benötigten Goodies durch Punkte erspielen. Eines der wenigen Games, bei denen Spielspaß ohne zusätzliches Geldausgeben möglich ist. Einziger Nachteil: hat man erst mal alle Waffen gekauft und seinen Bellyfish aufgemotzt, gibt es "nur" noch Quests zu lösen. Und die hab ich jetzt fast alle durch. Was zur Hölle mach ich dann, um mich zu entspannen??? Joga??? Bitte bitte neue Quests!!! ### 5/5 — Total genial 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍😜 *2014-07-10* Super Steuerung, klasse Spielidee. Ähnlich Mega Jump, aber durch das Luftblasen sammeln, ist man nicht gleich tot wenn man Gegner berührt. Einfach super, man will garnicht mehr aufhören😜 ### 5/5 — 🌚🌚🌚 *2014-05-20* Отличная игра,правда рыбка очень грустная:( ### 5/5 — Мне понравилась *2014-05-13* Забавная игрушка. Простенькая по сути, но сделана хорошо и симпатично. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
