### 2/5 — BGMと背景‥減りました？

*2024-10-14, version 4.0.89*

子供が
気に入っていたBGM
ほたるのひかり
おぼろ月夜
が聴けなくなって悲しんでいます。
もし間違って消してしまったのなら戻してください。
1回1回出てくる広告邪魔です。

### 1/5 — 味しめんな

*2024-10-05, version 4.0.89*

味しめて広告の量増やしてんじゃねーよ。1ゲーム1ゲームに広告入れてたらやる気も失せる。

### 5/5 — バグった

*2024-10-04, version 4.0.89*

餌やりをできるコインを1万以上貯めてこれからもコイン貯めようと思って次の日の朝アプリ開いたら餌やりのコイン(－5500)になっててガッカリした( ๐_๐)
なんで1万コインが次の日に－5500コインになっているのか分からなくて凄く悲しかった

### 1/5 — 不都合ですか？

*2024-09-18, version 4.0.89*

1週間前くらいに金魚のエサのお金がー68700となってエサすらあげられなくなり背景やポイの図鑑が全部クリアしていたのに所々なくなっていたりとおかしい現象が起こっています。誰かに乗っ取られたのかと思ってしまいます。

### 4/5 — とても楽しいが、

### 3/5 — 良いです。

*2021-03-19, version 4.0.39*

始めたばかりですが楽しいです！
2つだけ、ゲームクリアした時の宝箱開けるのタップしてスキップできるようにして欲しいです(結構時間かかるので…)
あと金魚すくった時に振動とか(ブルブルって)あるともっとリアル感でて楽しいと思います！
