### 4/5 — Incredibly fun and well-made

*2021-12-29, version 1.2*

I wasn't sure about the mechanics of this game, until I thought more about the deeper meaning of flopping up an escalator as a fish in a business suit. In all seriousness, the music and artwork are what really made me want to write this review, plus the witty but true concept. Honestly one of the best games I've ever downloaded.

(editing because I can no longer open the app after getting a new phone... please fix I miss the game)

### 5/5 — Wonderful with a small bug

*2021-07-15, version 1.2*

Wonderful game all around. One small bug where the other fish get stuck in the escalator.

### 4/5 — Kills time and then some..

*2021-06-08, version 1.2*

I downloaded this a week or so ago along with a few other apps looking for something free and different then the hundreds of apps that rip each other off. This is the only one I kept. It’s quirky and unique and unlike anything I’ve played. The controls are a bit challenging and confusing at first, but I figured it out after a couple tries. There are adds, but not too many. And you can skip most of em after a couple seconds. I love that I can buy my salmon different outfits, and most of them are funny. It holds my attention for 15-20 mins. Definitely worth downloading

### 4/5 — Great Game, But Short

*2021-05-26, version 1.2*

I really like this game, it’s cute and it does a good job of depicting what working in the world of capitalism feels like. My only complaint would be the length and lack of other features besides the arcade and customization. I feel like maybe there should be more story to it, that or a few more levels. Maybe there could even be multiplayer where you flop up the escalator with friends? Either way, the game is fun and it has the potential to be even better.

### 5/5 — Masterpiece

*2021-05-22, version 1.2*

This game is awesome.
I love the art style and the game is fun and addicting plus there are multiple ways to get promoted one way is getting to the top or making enough profits. They countered spam-jumping by adding red bars where if you jump on them you lose five coins. You can also get new fun suits for the coins you earn. There is also the metaphor about climbing a corporate ladder (or escalator) to get promoted and if you fail to climb it, you get fired. My final thoughts are that while after playing for a while you might drop it, while you are playing it is a nice looking game with a funny metaphor.

### 5/5 — Simple yet effective

*2021-02-06, version 1.2*

What separates this from a lot of other games (at least for me) is that it just doesn’t feel very corporate, in the sense that it’s not money hungry. Ads are very minimal, and it’s not pay to win. You can technically beat this in one day, it’s not very long, but it gets the job done and the attention to detail, especially in the soundtrack is amazing.

### 5/5 — yes.

*2020-10-22, version 1.2*

I like this, I like this a lot. there’s not a whole cash grab of ads every corner you turn, it’s fun and the graphics are actually amazingly colored. Corporate salmon and his outfits are very handsome aswell, I approve of this.

### 5/5 — My favorite pastime

*2020-09-25, version 1.2*

I always find myself going back to this app when I have nothing else to do. The ads get a bit annoying but it’s so fun and addicting!!

### 5/5 — I think you should expand this game

*2020-06-29, version 1.1*

It might be just me but I think it would be nice if there were more companies you could work at after completing another one

### 5/5 — The Master Piece of 2019

*2020-06-12, version 1.1*

This game has amazing graphics and gameplay allow for hours of game time without getting bored. The story is emotional and drawing bringing even the strongest men to tears. The gameplay is amazingly difficult bring a real challenge to the table. This game makes Dark souls look like Super Mario for the Wii U. This is a amazing game and I would recommend it to anyone man or women, child or adult. 10/10
