### 4/5 — Stars

*2025-06-26, version 1.1*

Ok I love the game but two things the jelly fish just no and the stars 
We want more ways.Like a treasure chest of 50 stars instead of just one by one or the gift. And maybe more scenes.

### 3/5 — Broken

*2024-12-10, version 1.1*

All of a sudden the app won’t play.  Freezes up as soon as I open it.  I’ve been playing for years with no issues.

### 2/5 — Hard and in fair but fun

*2023-03-28, version 1.1*

This game is very fun and I want to collect all of the fish but when don’t even hit the obstacles in my way I still get hit and explode so not that fun

### 4/5 — Very fun

*2022-03-26, version 1.1*

Fun, challenging and addictive. Needs to be updated, more fish need to be added, along with maybe some other fun features? Idk.

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-09-23, version 1.1*

The game is really good but when it says you can get stars by watching a add after the add it sometimes doesn’t give you any stars so if this minor bug can be fixed please do.

### 4/5 — fix plZ

*2019-03-22, version 1.1*

fav game but i be closing and reopening like 5 times a day cuz there's so many glitches ......

### 3/5 — Dude

*2019-03-15, version 1.1*

Hi guys, I've been playing this game for a while now and I've been liking it so far. The challenges are a little difficult but overall it's a great game. Wait... i forgot to tell you! The first time you watch an ad, it never gives you the prize. That it.

### 2/5 — Not the best

*2019-03-09, version 1.1*

The game freezes and when I watch a video for stars I don’t get them. Besides that it’s not bad but definitely not worth it.

### 3/5 — Freezes

*2018-10-15, version 1.1*

I love the game but it freezes a lot and ads pop up at the weirdest times

### 4/5 — I love the game but...

*2018-10-07, version 1.1*

I love the game but it is so hard they need to make it easier because there is so much of those weird spikes circles and TNT

### 3/5 — Freezing

*2018-07-31, version 1.1*

It’s a good game but not so good when it freezes and I can’t go out of the game or keep playing. I also prevents me from turning off my phone! Please fix this. It would be a great game if this didn’t happen.

### 5/5 — Nice and Simple game

*2018-07-25, version 1.1*

Compared to other apps, this is by far one of my favorites. It simple and very fun at the same time! The challenges are longer and more difficult towards the end, but that’s expected. Overall one of my top 5 favorite games, good job!

### 4/5 — This app is awesome buuuuuuuuuut

*2018-07-04, version 1.1*

My cousin shared this with me so I downloaded it. I had bad feelings about the app. I tried it and it was so so good I didn’t get off it until midnight. My parents just had to come and talk to me about it and I had to say it was the best game ever. Greater than minion rush and I LOVE minion rush. This game is awesome! I just had a few bad problems. The ads are the biggest one. I am always in the middle of a level and then out goes an ad. That’s annoying me. Another thing is that you need to make it more appropriate. It’s a game for little kids. Yet you made the fish and stuff explode and die! Really! Just check it out and then change it. Greatest game ever ever existed!!!!

### 2/5 — Designed For Adverts

*2018-06-13*

The game has great sound effects and animation, but it’s almost impossible to play properly. 

You need stars to unlock different fish, 100 for each one, of which they’re are many. Yet stars are so infrequent that you’re forced to watch video after video to have any real chance of getting many. 

Then those few that are in-game are often placed in such a way that collecting them leads to almost certain death. 

And death is all to frequent anyway, given the placing of the things that can kill you. So most games are incredibly short, resulting in no to very few stars, and another ad, and another and repeat ad nauseam. 

Shame.

### 5/5 — Great fun game!!

*2018-05-12, version 1.1*

I think the game is awesome but bit too challenging and I wish there were more backgrounds. But it’s awesome to have that much characters to choose from!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — ads popped up while is was playing

*2018-10-24, version 1.1*

i was playing normally and in the middle of me playing an ad popped up and made me die.very frustrating. almost makes it unplayable, but otherwise its good

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-01-15, version 1.1*

Half of the ads I watched didn’t even count and I lost 10 minuets of my life and I should’ve had like 5,000 points by now really bad do not recommend it it will not do you any good just stress

### 1/5 — Why the game is so bad

*2017-08-31, version 1.1*

It's annoying play dye play dye there's nothing to the game like no second part

### 1/5 — Homicidal investigation or fishing fishing, you choose

*2016-12-14, version 1.1*

My son was playing this game when he chose to 'earn reward'. The task to earn the reward was to watch an advertisement for a homicide investigation game that showed murder scenes with bloody bodies and weapons. Very inappropriate for such an innocent looking fish game. I thought it was just a fluke so I played the game and this same 'reward' was given every time.

### 1/5 — Needs easier challenges

*2016-07-25, version 1.1*

The fifth challenge is basically impossible already so make it easier. And the different types of fails love it. However needs more characters besides that it's the best

### 1/5 — RUBBISH.

*2016-05-14*

this game is terrible, it is false advertisment as i am not winning at the end of level 3. Also, it wont give me no more fishes😭😔.

### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads

*2016-03-10, version 1.1*

This game looks fun for kids but the ads are AWFUL. Full of violence and war. Come on, people this has an under 12 rating!! Not cool. Deleting it.

### 1/5 — Reklam abartı

*2015-09-05, version 1.1*

Oyunu oynarken bile tam ortasında reklam verebilen bi oyun oyunu mahvetmiştir rezalet yha yanlışlıkla oyunun ortasında elimiz değsin diye altta sürekli reklam var

### 1/5 — Click bate

*2015-08-20, version 1.1*

If you don't mind getting interrupted every 5 seconds with an ad. Skip it. Move on

### 1/5 — What happened

*2015-06-16, version 1.0*

I use to live a great life until I downloaded this game. Ever since I got this, I've been hooked. I played it everyday and I got fired. My wife left me and she took the kid away from me. I'm now all alone. I have no job and I have no wife. All I have now is a phone. This game has ruined my life forever and I can't stop playing it.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-12-02, version 1.1*

Wonderful game, we’ve been playing it for years. After upgrading to iOS 18, the game stresses upon starting. Is there a way to fix it?

### 5/5 — Charlee

*2023-12-28, version 1.1*

The game has been played on iPhones since 1999

### 5/5 — What a memory

*2021-12-30, version 1.1*

So when I was really young I played on my grandmas iPad and this game was on there. I loved it but it got uninstalled I thought it got removed. I forgot about the game until about three days ago. I downloaded it and have had a great time. Hope you enjoyed reading this.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-03-19, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — Vika

*2019-02-16, version 1.1*

Круто! Мне нравится!

### 5/5 — Awsome, but some suggestions

*2019-01-13, version 1.1*

I love this game! It’s really fun and addictive. However, it can get a little repetitive. I think instead of just jumping through water, maybe the player can get assigned quests or tasks. Also, in the beginning of the game, the player could start off in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, or some other body of water. Then, once they finish a certain task, they can unlock a new setting. And each setting has different things in the water, like in the Pacific Ocean or something, there could be sharks, bombs, boats, and maybe fish. Also, I think some fish could have special qualities or power-ups. 

Something that’s a little annoying in the game is that giant adds pop up in the middle of the game, and also the fact that when I get 100 stars, it only gives me a random fish and I can’t pick the one I want. I feel like there should be a way to pick a certain fish to buy or let it give you random. But I just love how the water colors change and how all the fish are so cute. 

Overall, I love this game and just thought it could use a little touch-up. 😀😉😉

(Ps, I’ve heard that people are having problems with the pride jelly. If they have a child playing that is little, they most likely won’t understand it. If the child is old enough to understand pride, it’s not like it’s hurting anybody and they’re bound to learn about it one way or another. If you don’t like the pride jelly, maybe choose another character or just don’t play the game. )😀

### 5/5 — Müthiş

*2018-12-05, version 1.1*

Gayet güzel reklam çıkıyor diyenler wifiyi kapatsın bu kadar basit...
