### 4/5 — Entertaining!

*2026-09-08, version 1.06*

My only feedback would be to have storage chest where I can place supplies. Overall, fun game to keep you distracted.

### 4/5 — Arcade version is better of course

*2026-09-07, version 1.06*

The currency/equipment grind is tough for the wise.

### 2/5 — Bedingt gut…

*2026-09-07*

Ein an sich tolles Spiel. Man hat hier aber lediglich die Bezahlkomponente entfernt und einen alten Stand in Arcade veröffentlicht, um die Kuh noch was zu melken.  Der Rest ist aber immer noch darauf ausgelegt den Leuten Geld abzunehmen: Alles geht schnell kaputt und muss nachgekauft werden, die Fänge bringen nicht genug ein, frustriert im späteren Verlauf nur noch. Ebenso wurden die alten Bugs wieder mit veröffentlicht und auf Bugmeldungen erhält man keine Antwort.

### 4/5 — Please

*2026-09-06, version 1.06*

To hard to catch 3rd monster!

### 4/5 — 코스타리카에서 Don Pedro 를 잡아도

*2026-09-06*

다음 알라스카로 넘어가질 않아요

### 4/5 — Well designed but it’s a long haul

*2026-09-04, version 1.06*

Great game. The graphics, the music, the mechanics. But the progress is way too slow no where near enough wood it takes months to achieve small goals. If progress was faster this game would be near perfect, but as it is it’s a deal breaker, who has that much time to put into a game. Seriously. A simple fix.

### 5/5 — 🤩✨⭐️🌟

*2026-09-02, version 1.06*

Is the best thing in the entire world?

### 4/5 — Love it! But there are some flaws…

*2026-09-02, version 1.06*

I am in love with this game!!! Although I am disappointed that it’s single player, it still is a wonderful game. I also don’t like the “real time” aspect of it, since it is annoying and I would come back anyway. I lost my save but thank you so much for fixing it! I sadly can’t get my progress back but knowing I won’t lose it again is amazing! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love the game wish it worked with Backbone

*2026-09-02, version 1.06*

I am absolutely loving the game. It’s a great relaxing thing to do with a few spare minutes, but I don’t love controlling the game with a touchscreen. I wish this was set up to work with my backbone controller. It would be much more fun to play if I could use a handheld controller!

### 2/5 — Cute but boring

*2026-09-02, version 1.06*

There is too much time spent waiting for something to happen. And, the mechanic of having to go back to the home island to sell the stuff in your tiny bag (because you can’t throw it back) is tedious. There just wasn’t enough going on for me to progress much past the first map.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-09-02, version 1.06*

Very relaxing and therapeutic

### 5/5 — Great game so relaxing

*2026-09-02, version 1.06*

I love the game and the sound effects sometimes I wish that the maps were a little smaller. But that doesn’t take away from this being my favorite phone game.

### 5/5 — Fun and calming

*2026-09-01, version 1.06*

The game if fun and it’s nice to play I just think it sound be more clear on where to fish and I think here to go and what to do to complete tasks other than that I can’t complain it’s really good

### 2/5 — Na ja …

*2026-09-01*

Das Spiel ist grundsätzlich ok, aber: 
Die Dialoge die immer angeklickt werden müssen sind ziemlich anstrengend. 
Die Deutsche Lokalisierung ist mangelhaft. Nicht empfehlenswert für Kinder die Deutsch lernen. Es herrscht ein Kuddelmuddel aus schlecht übersetztem Deutsch, gar nicht übersetztes Englisch und merkwürdiges Denglish. 
Die Punkte heißen mal XP und mal EP, ohne dass erklärt wird was das heißen soll. 
Es gibt noch viele solche Mängel und etwas unverständliche Bedienung und Zielführung. Sollte das alles behoben werden, gibt es auch mehr Sternchen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Wir werden einen weiteren Übersetzungsdurchlauf durchführen, der die deutsche Lokalisierung deutlich verbessern sollte. Wir hoffen, dass dadurch Begriffe, Dialoge und Beschreibungen künftig konsistenter und verständlicher werden.

### 4/5 — LOVE THIS GAME!!

*2026-09-01, version 1.06*

I absolutely love this game, it’s really addictive, (not in a bad way) I love that you have a “home” island I would give it a 5 stars rating but I would like to suggest that we are somehow able to play with people and fish together

### 5/5 — A Relaxing game

*2026-09-01, version 1.06*

I love this game. There is no pressure and no time challenge. Set off, explore, build a bit and go catch some fish.

### 1/5 — No controller support

*2026-09-05, version 1.06*

No controller support

### 1/5 — Apple Arcade!!!

*2026-09-05, version 1.06*

It’s a fun game at first, but honestly, it doesn’t feel like a good fit for Apple Arcade. The progression is painfully slow, and after a while, the game just starts to feel repetitive and boring. It has potential, but the progression system definitely needs some improvement.

### 1/5 — Simplesmente o jogo não tem um sistema de login

*2026-09-05*

Eu joguei criaturas of deep o bastante horas eu jogo mesmo me sugeriu jogar a versão mais ( +) só que quando você baixa essa versão você simplesmente perde todos seus progresso e não existe um login ou algo do tipo para vincular a conta recuperar seu progresso nessa nova versão simplesmente desinstale

**Developer response:** Obrigado pelo comentário. Entendemos a frustração. Creatures of the Deep e Creatures of the Deep+ são projetos separados e, devido ao caráter offline da versão +, não é possível transferir o progresso. É uma limitação externa que infelizmente não podemos contornar.

### 1/5 — 게임에서는 벨런스를 맞추는 것도 제작에서 중요합니다

*2026-09-05*

이거 제작자는 단한번도 전체적인 퀘스트 진행과 제작을 안해본듯 하군요. 나무는 부족하고 요구량은 턱도 없고 낚시대 수리는 안되고 돈은 버는 것보다 쓰는게 더 커지고 제 다섯살 딸만 무료낚시대로 놀기만 합니다

**Developer response:** 자세한 의견 감사합니다. 저희는 게임의 모든 요소를 직접 플레이해봤을 뿐만 아니라 지금도 매일 플레이하고 있습니다. 초반에는 나무와 장비 비용이 부담스럽게 느껴질 수 있지만, 진행하면서 선택지가 늘어납니다. 퀘스트와 경제 밸런스에 대한 의견도 계속 검토하겠습니다.

### 1/5 — Big limitations

*2026-08-31, version 1.06*

I’ve completed all bosses, and it’s great as a game, but I have tried too long and have had no access to getting the blobfish on the home island, unlocking 4-5 star creatures, getting past the cave even with 1,000 karma of trash picked up, or finding the supposed weekend quests to the chemical plant. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Gets old fast

*2026-08-24, version 1.06*

I’ve got to be missing some element of the gameplay given the great reviews. I can’t pass the initial map which gets old fast. Completely stuck. I think it’s  the requirement of spending the in game currency for supplies. It feels like a weird budgeting exercise vs an exploration game.

### 1/5 — Joke RNG

*2026-08-24, version 1.06*

Most ridiculous RNG Ive seen in a game ever

### 1/5 — Most pointless game I’ve played.

*2026-08-21, version 1.06*

I tried to give each game I play ample time before I write a negative review, so I invested three days of playtime into this game before writing this. There is zero challenge in this game. There is zero thought that you have to put into the game. The challenges have zero challenge. For example, in one challenge, you buy two of a specific item, drop it, leave it for 48 real time hours, and then you can use it in the recipe it’s called for. That’s it. Seriously. Buy an item, drop it, forget about it for two full days, oh look, you completed a challenge. The fact that this game is played in real time makes it that much worse. If you’re like me and you go to bed early, then you can never advance in this game. The third challenge that you have to pass in order to advance to the next area requires you to catch a creature at night time. Real life nighttime, after 8 PM. A lot of people have to go to bed early because of their life requirements, so this game is dependent on people being able to disrupt their lives in order to play it. Pointless, meaningless, without any challenge, and expects you to jump through hoops for it. That’s not playing a game.

### 1/5 — Game Ruining Bug

*2026-08-18, version 1.06*

There is a bug where a fish I just caught shows the highlight indicating it is the better quality for the aquarium. When I replace the fish, the star rating drops, because the fish was worse. However my old fish that was three or four stars turns into a 0 star fish, so I cant even go back to the old fish.

### 1/5 — 運営ゴミ

*2026-08-17*

クソゲームほんとは星0

### 5/5 — 재밋어여

*2026-09-08*

재밋어ㅕ

### 5/5 — Game

*2026-09-08, version 1.06*

It’s very cozy and fun to play, super cute game and good graphics.

### 5/5 — Can I please mute the bird?? Make it stop

*2026-09-07, version 1.06*

Fun game, well made, polished. All the good superlatives. 
However, I can’t stand what the bird has to say. It is neither cute nor constructive…just really annoying. 
It doesn’t feel like some endearing buddy, it feels more like a gnat that won’t go away. 
I have no desire to see that text on my screen. I’ll tap on its face if I decide to care to see what it has to say. 
Thank you for your time.

### 5/5 — Chill, well made game

*2026-09-07, version 1.06*

The graphics are great and match its esthetic. Your character is cute and customizable just like the boat, which either you unlock and buy (NOT with real money) or you unlock via finding specific things and trading later on. There are quite the amount of things to do initially and then it slows down while you get coins and materials, so is more of a slow paced and chill game. You do get kind of like special abilities you unlock over time depending on what you choose, some of them are pretty good. There are several NPC initially and then more pop up as time goes which keeps you engaged, they have like their unique stories and give you missions for xp and/or coin. There’s also plenty of fish on the several islands you unlock over time and it is not all just throw and reel but for larger fish you actually have to do some work or else the fish gets away so it’s more entertaining than you might think.
Now every game has something someone doesn’t like for me they are thing which can be worked on at least which are: the game actually tracks time, like if it’s night in the real world it’s night in game. Which makes catching some fish difficult since you would have to forcibly play at night, since some fish only spawn at night. The real barrier to progress are the monsters you catch for every location in order to unlock the next. They are rare and difficult to get as intended but a little too difficult. For example for me as to not spoil much the NPC told me that the monster I need to catch in order to move onto the next map is most active during the morning. The day prior I spent a lot of coin on the monster bait/lure and a monster fishing rod, but literally after buying and using the bait/lure 2 times correctly in the marked area it did not work and I have put all my points into luck. Which means I am being forced to play in the morning in real life to catch it and progress. Last thing is the instructions and explanations, having the NPC kind of explain stuff is nice, but it would be better if perhaps you get your phone sooner and you slowly unlock the visual tips/how to guide on it or it’s fully available. The images do a lot of work that I could only understand when I read it, not from the NPC. Also explaining more in game functions would be great. I had to figure out on my own that after you put point on on something like luck or others after several point you unlock extra perks or abilities that which you must manually select otherwise you just play without it since nothing notifies you like everything else. So if you are not curious and look, you don’t know about and you don’t use a major game function. But otherwise really good game

### 5/5 — Addicting fishing game

*2026-09-06, version 1.06*

I love the way there is so many thing you can do. You can customize your character and your boat. You can sell your fishes or sell junk items and get a decent amount for it. You level up. Catching fishes is actually way fun and even better when you have to  complete tasks. I honestly have no complaints about this game, I just hope I don’t finish everything that I can do in the game. Although there’s various museums that I can fill up. So I honestly doubt I’ll be finished w the game which is what I’m looking for in a game. Honestly I just downloaded the game bcuz it’s a fishing game and I wanted to try something different. Im so glad that I did, I love ittt!!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-09-05, version 1.06*

I’m obsessed! My only complaint is that it’s so hard to get enough wood to actually do Anything in a timely manner

### 5/5 — Love the game.

*2026-09-04, version 1.06*

So fun. I’ve barely begun and enjoy playing in my down time!

### 5/5 — Great game
