I think it was very slow. My other games work great and I think you should collect more gems 💎 I have only 2 gems. But other wise I think this was an amazing game. Definitely a five star review. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -Sofia Eve ### 5/5 — Buenardo! *2020-09-16* El mejor juego de correr, o mejor dicho de nadar, el mejor, buenos gráficos, es gratis, la canción súper tranquilizante, y todo eso, es muy bueno descárguenlo ya! ### 5/5 — Rossboy *2020-09-14, version 1.44* The best fun challenging game!!! The graphics are great...I have played for hours the time just slips away...this game is addictive clean fun!!! ### 5/5 — Es totalmente perfecta *2020-09-13* Amo esta aplicación sus gráficos y música son relajante 😌💗💝 es muy buena aplicación y te la recomiendo demasiado si estás aburrido o estresado ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 ### 5/5 — Different modes *2020-09-12, version 1.44* I think it is a good game but I think it needs different modes where you can do the infinite mode and you can explore the ocean in different parts of the world and where you can swim freely ### 5/5 — Super! *2020-09-12* Esta súper cool!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-08-23, version 1.41* The visuals are absolutely beautiful, the game controls really well and runs so smoothly. One of the most satisfying games I have played on a mobile platform. ### 4/5 — Good, just one bug. *2020-08-23, version 1.41* I like the game, I like the controls, I like the way the camera moves, and the graphics are pretty nice. There was one bug that I saw, when you have the magnet on and get a chest it just sticks to you and blocks your view and you don’t collect it. I think in the future you should maybe and different sections the further you go, like the same gameplay but like different colors. Maybe a sunset kinda theme or deeper parts of the ocean. Great game Ricardo -Zeke Bender ### 5/5 — Amazing app. *2020-08-22, version 1.41* Found you on reddit and this is so satisfying and fun. Thanks for making it! ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2020-08-18* Súper entretenido y creativo. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading Preview *2020-09-11, version 1.44* Why have a preview in landscape when the game is not played in landscape? Looking for games to play in landscape mode, which this is not one. ### 3/5 — Calming...or could be *2020-11-10, version 1.6* I really like the way this game looks and the music. I must have issues because I die constantly. I find the game calming but I wish there was like a free play mode or something where you just swim. No coins or sharks etc. No dying when you hit something. Just free swimming to relax and listen to the music and watch the screen. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2020-11-09, version 1.6* I like the game. It would be more relaxing if the fish didn’t speed up so much. The obstacles are too close together and it’s too hard to maneuver. Love the music tho ### 3/5 — Good but buggy *2020-08-22* Has a few bugs but an overall pretty fun game. ### 4/5 — Freeze on the loading screen🥲 *2025-01-20, version 3.36* This game was fun and really good looking ( 5 stars and more)but it won’t open anymore,please fix it ,you see the loading line but it freeze at about 90% and your that’s it. Since the new update its only a black screen, I reinstalled it twice and same result,my ipad is 7th generation with ios 17.3 gee please make it work its so good looking and fun to play. ### 4/5 — Freeze on the loading screen🥲 *2024-04-10* This game was fun and really good looking ( 5 stars and more)but it won’t open anymore,please fix it ,you see the loading line but it freeze at about 90% and your that’s it. ### 4/5 — Great! *2024-03-23* This game is a lot of fun! The design is beautiful and there are so many fishes to collect! The control is very smooth and handable. I gave only 4 stars, because I think, it would be cool if there where more other animals than fish, for example dolphins, wales, sea horses, more turtles, more rays, jellyfish… But the game is very good👍👍 ### 4/5 — IMPOSSIBLE OBSTACLE PLZ READ!!! ;) *2020-10-06, version 1.44* I played this for a long time and now I can pass like every obstacle. This game is really fun and I was completely addicted to it. The bubble shields were really useful and I bought fifty of them, and the graphics are really cool. When I just started playing it I was really bad at it but as I continued I got more good. I also found cheats to pass some obstacles, like going to the bottom or spinning around which improves the gameplay.| |The only complaint I have for this game is one obstacle in stage 3 and on, that I could not pass no matter what :( It is basically one of the spinning obstacles, and it is blue and round, and there is a tiny gap in the side. It kind of looks like a lily pad but it is blue with veins on it and it makes me really really angry and frustrated. Please at least Make it easier, or enlarge the gaps. Thank you so much. ### 4/5 — No sound *2020-09-19, version 1.44* cool game but I’m getting no sound from the app? Restarted it a few times and nada ### 4/5 — Luke’s thoughts *2020-09-12, version 1.44* Nice relaxing game beautiful game play tiny bit difficult but you soon get the hang of it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it! *2025-08-05, version 3.37* I’ve been playing this since it was made and I just can’t stop loving it. This game and the nostalgia of it is amazing, thank you. ### 5/5 — Like it *2024-06-10, version 3.35* I like it. ### 5/5 — Wow!! 🤩 🤩 🤩 *2023-07-13, version 3* I loved this game like, a lot. No Wi-Fi, doesn’t take up that much data, realistic movement. I personally love it and I just started not too long ago! Perfect for plane rides and car trips. I haven’t gotten a headache from this like other games, if you need something for a car ride or just a trip of some kind I would highly suggest this game 😃 ### 5/5 — Superb *2021-08-14* What a great game to test you reaction time and ability to sway pass obstacles. The under water world graphics is excellent ### 5/5 — Very Majestic *2021-02-15, version 1.62* The gameplay is addicting and the game offers customization, and other things to collect ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2020-11-11, version 1.61* This is so good it feels like I’m actually in the ocean. I don’t know why this hasn’t got a lot of attention! ### 5/5 — Good buy *2020-10-26, version 1.5* This is very relaxing! However, little kids might get a little frustrated with it, I think you should be at least 6 years before playing. Otherwise, very good app! But the moving obstacles such as moving rocks & spinning starfish are a little hard 2 get by! Otherwise, you have 2 get! 🤗 thx for inventing this app! ### 5/5 — mister_mustache *2020-09-21, version 1.44* I couldn’t sleep and same across this game. It’s so relaxing to play as a fish swimming the in the ocean. I feel like some earlier stages are harder than the latter ones. Focus on the moving obstacles as the static rocks are pretty easy to avoid! ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-09-20, version 1.44* The game is amazing it’s smooth flowing not many ads and astonishing animation ### 5/5 — So cool *2020-09-19, version 1.44* Wow this game is amazing and Beautiful the music is the best part there unique obstacles a good verity of fish my only complaint is the difficulty ramps up a little to quite but besides that the game is amazing keep up the good work --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
