There is zero reason to have five “upgrade cards” or “spend upgrade points” missions back to back to back to back to back. Other than to give me a big middle finger. Greedy. I wish life had more to offer so that I did not feel compelled to waste away playing this derivative drivel. ### 4/5 — Help *2025-04-14, version 2.6.39* Completed all tasks when is their going to be more levels more levels neeed please need more stories so fun. But completed ### 3/5 — Thanks now I can’t complete *2025-01-01, version 2.6.24* One of my missions cuz it’s acting like I’m not spending coins so I’m about to delete this game on my phone ### 4/5 — Help *2024-10-11, version 2.6.21* Completed all tasks when is their going to be more levels more levels neeed please ### 3/5 — Help *2024-07-15* Completed all tasks when is their going to be more levels ### 4/5 — Addictive but please make more levels!!! *2024-07-03, version 2.4.98* I finished level 60 and now I’m just stuck in limbo because there aren’t any more levels.. what?! Please make more levels! ### 2/5 — Stuck on level 27 *2024-05-28, version 2.4.98* I am stuck on level 27 i have 2 more things to be done but there are no challenges to be completed PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP ### 3/5 — Stuck 😑 *2024-05-01, version 2.4.98* I’ve been stuck on one level for over 2 months or so. The goals to move on to next level are so unachieveable I stopped playing the main game. I love the events (even when I use gems and not get the correct amount of $$ doing the skip time). Of course when I reach out to support, the event is over and I can’t provide them with more info/pictures. My other issue is being stuck on the loading page. It has stayed on the page with barely 5% loaded for a couple hours. I’ve tried restarting my phone, closing the game entirely, and even turning off my WiFi and nothing. ### 2/5 — Boring *2024-02-25, version 2.4.59* This game does not have much to do in stead of clicking and collecting and that’s pretty much it, I like that there aren’t much ads but overall it’s kinda boring ### 2/5 — Watch your earnings *2024-01-31, version 2.4.59* I honestly enjoyed this game, played mostly the events until I noticed an issue with what my earnings during the event were and what they were reported as on the leaderboard. I messaged support during 3 different events and each time got the response of we will forward it to our development team. Ok cool but at the same time this can cost you to get less rewards during the event which can make playing the regular game a lot more difficult. ### 3/5 — No More Levels *2023-12-14, version 2.4.59* Overall I like this game, but I’ve been stuck on level 60 for literally years now. That’s not an exaggeration. They just haven’t made more levels for years. ### 3/5 — Please fix the bug *2023-12-11, version 2.4.59* I would like all payments I made since yesterday refunded to me the game is upgrading then taking them away Its froze on level 7 and it’s not moving forward and when I’m automate the game freezes then I lose the progress to move forward again it’s making me start all over I’ve already automate slamming salmon twice and the nyanfish so why am having to keep doing it - I really like the game but it’s frustrating especially when I’m watching ads to collect and buying packs to advance only to be ripped off ### 3/5 — Buggy gameplay *2023-11-11, version 2.4.59* I love playing this game and would give it 5 stars. The only problem is that my boats keeping fishing offline, but my dockhands don’t! This causes such a backlog it makes it near impossible to earn money, because you are only selling fish from your first boat. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — LIES *2025-06-15, version 2.6.39* Yet again this company is SCAMMING ### 1/5 — Dirty pool old chaps *2025-03-11, version 2.6.39* Paid for no ads with trunks. I got no ads because the trunks stopped coming. Why do that? ### 1/5 — Wish I could find a idle game *2024-11-30* That doesn’t make you pay real money to progress through the game I mean they let you progress to episode 4 or 6 really quick but then after 6 your game is done because the stupid shipping can’t freakin keep up with the docks or boats and it costs too much to upgrade it and then you won’t give us any freakin oysters to upgrade our cards so idle games are no fun I mean we have to stay off the game for days but even then you only get a few coins for that and also wish this game actually played on tablets **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! If you have any other thoughts please contact us at support@metamoki.com 📧 ### 1/5 — Don’t buy ad free *2024-10-21, version 2.6.21* Once I bought ad free no more chests spawn in the water so it’s a pointless purchase. ### 1/5 — Stolen money *2024-10-12, version 2.6.21* I love this game until the last few days on the new event every time I make a purchase it says it was completed then the game turns off. My card has been charged but when I open the game back my purchase did not take effect. Unfortunately I’ve played this game for almost a year now and about to delete it and find another game to play because of this. Please refund the money that has been lost in this glitch. ### 1/5 — I’m curious *2024-04-18, version 2.4.98* This was a great game but I’ve been stuck on level 60 and after many emails no response I’m about to quit ### 1/5 — Boring *2023-11-29, version 2.4.59* Boring as hell ### 1/5 — Was great until y’all fell off the planet. *2023-11-10, version 2.4.59* Glitches on and off but if that type thing doesn’t bug a person , overall it’s a great way to relax. I’m annoyed that you guys don’t update social media. You don’t update the game levels. You don’t seem interested in spending anymore effort on this game. I’ve hit the max level three times now. I lost my progress each time and had to start over. Having said that , (points finger) somebody come to work at some point this year and add some more levels for those of us that actually like this app. ### 1/5 — Bad review *2023-10-08, version 2.4.59* I purchased a $7.99 gem deal and you charged me $31. What a scam ### 1/5 — Basic and expensive *2023-09-25, version 2.4.59* Generic copy paste of any other idle tycoon on the App Store. $30 if you don’t want to be spammed by ad requests and pay per lootchest for a chance to gamble for the managers needed to progress. Gross ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun but stop the Atlas Earth ads they freeze constantly *2026-04-02, version 2.6.51* The Atlas Earth ads constantly freeze and ruin hours of bonuses. ### 5/5 — 7E37E *2026-02-17, version 2.6.51* I like this game I wish they were more up to date with their news, it’s hard to find friends : please add me 7E37E ### 5/5 — Friend Code *2025-08-25, version 2.6.39* Add Friend code earn more money: 4EA86 Please Add more islands ### 5/5 — Updated *2025-02-15* Edit: I was awarded my gems back and appreciate the quick response. Thank you! Why would you make things that cost exorbitant amounts of gems without a confirmation button? THREE times now I’ve lost my gems trying to scroll down and accidentally touched a captain. There goes my gems and I have asked several times for a refund and have no received one. I love this game but that is incredibly ridiculous and I will no longer be making in-app purchases until my gems are returned to me. ### 5/5 — Wish I could find a idle game *2024-11-14* That doesn’t make you pay real money to progress through the game I mean they let you progress to episode 4 or 6 really quick but then after 6 your game is done because the stupid shipping can’t freakin keep up with the docks or boats and it costs too much to upgrade it and then you won’t give us any freakin oysters to upgrade our cards so idle games are no fun I mean we have to stay off the game for days but even then you only get a few coins for that ### 5/5 — Love this game *2024-05-02, version 2.4.98* Love playing this game, so fun. However, about every 2 weeks or so, I have issues getting the app to load, like right now. Can’t get it to open at all currently. Need to fix this bug please. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-02-11, version 2.4.59* One of the best idle games I’ve played ### 5/5 — More levels *2023-04-25, version 2.4.59* I like the game but I have finished the levels for a while now ( a few months ago). When will there be more levels. When will there be more levels for both the regular and the special levels. I can’t play anymore ### 5/5 — I love fishing!! *2023-04-14, version 2.4.59* This is a really hot start on learning deep sea fishing. I plan to be an expert fisherman. It is also relaxing. ### 5/5 — Awesome idle game *2022-08-07, version 1.98.9* Love this game, reached the last level but still play for the regular events. Can you update for some more levels?
