AMAZING!

THIS GAME IS THE DOG’S BOLLOCKS!

Aesthetic™️

I love the pixel art so much. I love unlocking new seas it's a bop

Awesome!

It’s a great game and reminds me of the Splatoon mini games! But everybody’s a critic. One minor thing that I don’t like is how the star after its affects does not do anything to protect you from dying. Add like a thing where after the affects were off the whole thing bubbles up getting rid of everything! It would make it easier.

Derogatory and Racist Ad

I want this game removed. While my son was playing it had an ad stating “All Jews must die.”

Would be 5 stars but...

I am still getting ads after making a purchase. In the game, it says that the purchase of any of the worlds removes ads from the game. But it didn’t work for me. I really hate being interrupted by ads and it makes it even more infuriating because I paid money to get rid of them. Otherwise this is a great game, with charming graphics and really good controls. I like how the jellyfish bounces off the walls and rapidly bouncing off the wall can be used strategically to get through tight areas. I just wish I wasn’t interrupted with ads that I paid to remove.
