### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-08-18*

The whole game is just ai slop. Hire a real person to create your art this just looks awful.

### 1/5 — It’s okay

*2026-08-18*

Game is interesting at first but you lose that very quickly. It’s a veryyyyy slow process to earn money in the game and if you buy any coins or gems in the game it’s ridiculously high . If you’re looking for something exciting this is not it .

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! There are many ways to earn currency in Fish Tycoon 3! You can purchase Coins and Gems in the Supplies store, earn them through daily rewards and random events in the game, by watching video ads and of course, selling your fish! We hope you continue to have fun with your Virtual Aquarium!

### 1/5 — Brutal

*2026-08-16*

Fish die from time you go to bed to time you wake up, have to spend gems to revive them… coins cost so much to purchase, everything way over priced. Game impossible,

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about these fish!  Many factors can cause a fish to lose health, including the environment, over or under-feeding and whether they're common or rare breeds, for example.

Tap on the skeleton of a dead fish, then tap on the “Autopsy” button to see a report of how they died, along with the best course of action to prevent it from happening again in the future.  You also have the option to revive them by spending gems or watching video ads, or you can delete them altogether.

We recommend that you focus on breeding and selling more common breeds in the beginning, so you can afford to upgrade your aquarium's environment to sustain the rarer breeds.

### 3/5 — Fish die too much

*2026-08-16*

Can play the game before bed and by the time you wake up and check half of your fish are dead

### 1/5 — Saddening

*2026-08-10*

Last day of work used to be such a respectable company that had beautiful art in their games, now everything is filled with ai and reduced to cheap garbage. It’s not even worth playing anymore, if you’re willing to cut corners when it comes to art (the entire basis of your games) how good could they possibly be? It’s sad how far they’ve fallen.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. What can we do to improve your enjoyment of the game?

### 4/5 — Not getting daily rewards

*2026-08-07*

Not getting the daily play rewards

**Developer response:** Hi there, we're very sorry to hear about your experience. We'd love to get you back to enjoying the game! If you could please get in touch with our dedicated Support Team, we'll help resolve this for you. From your game, tap on the "gear" icon and tap the "Get Help" button or email support@ldw.zendesk.com. We look forward to speaking with you!

### 4/5 — Drop down list

*2026-08-07*

Love the game but I think there should be a option for a drop-down list per tank of the names of the fish that are in each tank so that way it would be easier to pick out what ones you want to sell and what ones you have

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it! This truly helps us build new content and make the game better, and your comments have helped contribute to the game's success! We hope you continue to have fun with your Virtual Aquarium!

### 1/5 — not Apple Pencil compatible

*2026-08-05*

I am a huge fan of last day of work games and have been playing them for many years. I was very excited about the release of a new game however, I am disappointed to find out that my Apple Pencil is not compatible with Fish Tycoon 3. I’ve had no problems in the past using my Apple Pencil with other platform games from this developer so I’m not sure what is going on here. :(

### 1/5 — Sad AI has taken over

*2026-08-03*

I have been playing last day of work games (yes have played all of them!) since I was in elementary school! Everytime a new version comes out I am so excited so of course I was very excited about the release of the three most recent games. They are just cheap AI games, lost the old charm. Really disappointed actually! I wish they would go back to the original style, maybe us AI for ideas. Sad :(

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. What can we do to improve your enjoyment of the game?
