My favorite thing about him is the swipe attack but squiddo loveable!but can you add more levels and bosses in story mode please **Developer response:** Yeah, he is my favourite aswell ;) thank you for the lovely review! ### 5/5 — Круто *2025-01-11, version 4.5.2* Мне очень нравится эта игра ;) ### 5/5 — Zajebiste *2024-09-10, version 4.5.0* Bardzo ### 4/5 — Keiko *2024-08-13* So altering spending $25 for the orca.. the dev decided to remove the animation or attack where the tail whip does a full spin attack and it just whips its tail in the back only. I know I saw an old video on YouTube doing a full spin tail whip attack, I thought I needed to get it to level 3 which I did and same thing just “charges” faster. Can you please bring that back **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that, I’m planning to add cloud save feature in the future but unfortunately I don’t know when. Thank you for the review and I hope you enjoyed the game! ### 5/5 — Good Game *2024-06-16* But why is no crab in the Game to Play New Bosses a Maze new Charakters ### 5/5 — Alejandro *2024-06-08* El juego es muy bueno y muy bonito me encanta es uno de mis mejores juegos 🤩😍🐋🐳🐬🦈 hagan más. ### 4/5 — No saving at all *2024-05-04* So my daughter deleted this game by mistake, I was hoping when I redownloaded the game I would get everything back. lol I got nothing back, lost ALL my progress. No way am I starting from the beginning again, Was very disappointed how this game doesn’t save based off the Game Center user name. Very disappointed Can we get an update for the iPads at least the iPad mini 5? The ratio on the screen is off, especially when it comes to the settings to change the controls or frames per second. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that, I’m planning to add cloud save feature in the future but unfortunately I don’t know when. Thank you for the review and I hope you enjoyed the game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Definitely not one of the best games! *2024-08-25, version 4.5.0* You will find this thing extremely annoying. When I play as keiko, the orca who played Willy in the 1993 movie free Willy, there is a lot of attacks like POW! POW! POW! and it makes my brain hurt. OUCH! ### 2/5 — Game is broken *2026-05-03* Game is broken when I bonded the max number of friends. I only got Moby free times and I never got him as an actual character. ### 2/5 — Stupid Sea Turtle *2021-09-29* I hate this game because of the annoying long cutscene at the beginning and the dolphin costs money! I’m so angry and there’s this annoying turtle that I thought was friendly then all of a sudden he started attacking me! Please remove the stupid sea turtle and make the dolphin not cost money this game is total crap **Developer response:** Hi, i guess you mean the first sea turtle that is locked? you are right he should be friendly since you actually save him from being locked in his little corner, I'll change that in a future update :) Regarding the dolphin, I will create a campaign soon with free promo codes for some characters where you will be able to get the dolphin for free. Check out the youtube channel since it will be announced there. Thank you for the feedback! ### 3/5 — Kind of good kind of not *2026-05-21* Why is Mobile tongue so pink? Is he sick or something because most will get that when they’re sick??? ### 3/5 — Simply a note *2025-10-10* I think you are aware of the last issue I had. Considering this, maybe I’ll get rid of the note so people can not use it to their advantage while they can. Anyways, I think you could consider buffing Toxanna. Reason:I feel she is too weak and her offensive abilities does not compensate for it. Observation: I noticed the fish targets way too slowly, and when it does, only the base damage is inflicted on the creature (when it is not a surprise attack). This makes defeating base opponents slower and tedious than with other characters . Why do this, when I could get the Beluga through purchases, which does more damage than I would get Toxanna, who I get only by the once-every-five-hours chests? Positive:On the plus side, her bubble ability is useful; it helps me escape opponents. Suggestions: Perhaps you can buff the damage to Toxanna each time she lands her aim. Having her cool down for her offensive ability lowered and removing slow motion is another idea. By the way, I didn’t report the exploit out of inherent goodness. I simply felt from God to notify you, so that credit is to Jesus. You make money of off this And it’s unfair to leave you in the dark about it. **Developer response:** Thank you for reporting it, greatly appreciated! Will fix it in the next update (Barry the barracuda update). ### 3/5 — Simply a note for the developer *2025-09-21* People can exploit the save cloud feature to purchase creatures, and then use their last cloud save to get their coins and crystals back. The sea creatures they purchased using crystals is also kept along with restored currency in the older save. If this was the intended feature, then fine, but if not, well, now you know. Side Note:The exploit also works with friends. **Developer response:** Thank you for reporting it, greatly appreciated! Will fix it in the next update (Barry the barracuda update). ### 3/5 — Hoped you wouldn’t nerf anything *2024-01-14* I know most game developers will make something and then everything else starts to crash. Like the fish levels. When it was only up to level 5. I really liked it. It was simple. But know it like to a number that I don’t even know. I kind of lost interest In it. I hope that if you do read this you could maybe please go back to the fish being only up to level 5. But other than that, you are doing an amazing job at this game. It is one of my favorites. Keep it up! **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Players wanted customisation so I changed the level cap to 25 and you can now choose what stats to increase. But I think you have a point aswell that it might be to much. I’ll keep this in mind for future updates. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Pay To win *2024-01-07, version 4.1.3* This is like a high quality game but, the fishes from the shop is so overpriced. like 62.87 dollars for a fish!? i mean its way too overpriced for moby. ### 3/5 — Good game, it ads are broken so rewards are unobtainable *2022-07-02* Really enjoy the game. Wish it had more levels! But the clam rewards are impossible to get: 4/5 times when I play an ad, when I dismiss it, I am presented with the score screen for the clam popping mini game, in which I’ve missed everything. The mini game started and finished while I was locked in the ad. **Developer response:** Hi, Forgot to respond, but the ads should be fixed now. ### 4/5 — Over priced micro transactions *2025-09-15* This game is great the only reason why i give it a four star instead of a five is because this game has INSANELY overpriced micro transactions like why would i pay 40-50 dollars to play as a whale or a shark please lower the prices and maybe i would give this game a five star rating ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2026-07-19* You can do the character manatee ### 5/5 — Please bring back old vicouz skin *2026-06-13* Please bring back old Vicouz skin ### 5/5 — 다른핸드본으로 함 *2026-04-28, version 4.8.0* 재미있고 모으는 재미있어서 좋은데 랙이 있어요그련데 하는 데에는 지장은 없어요. 매일 이게임을 해요. 그리고 업데이트도 자주하고 친구가 많아요^•^ ### 5/5 — 응 *2026-04-06, version 4.8.0* 너무 재미있고 다양한 물고기가 있어서 좋아요🐟🐠 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-03-25, version 4.8.0* This game is great!At first i thought it was really bad but it’s actually a great game!
