### 3/5 — generally good but not Great

*2026-07-21, version 29*

Pros:
- fun art style
- original and fun theme
- i like that i can both move around and pop bubbles and im not stuck with them in one spot or stuck waiting until they disappear on their own which can sometimes be a while
- generally just a concept you cant go too wrong about 

 Cons:
- i dont think ive ever played a merge game that was this sensitive to accidental merges and items going to the wrong square. i dont know what it is but very frequently the “aim” feels off and where i want to put an item ends up being several squares away from where the game actually ends up dropping the item which leads to a lot of incorrectly placed pieces and unintentional merges that seem to happen just cus your finger had to pass one item to get to the end point
- too hard to get gems without paying for them
- it would be nice to have a timer for when item generators will be done charging instead of just needing to guess
- certain levels of the fish sort minigame are very randomly way too hard especially when compared to the levels around them
- items like the scissors or rainbow crystal should stack to be one item with multiple uses instead of individual items that can each only be used once, theyre not commonly needed items but theyre also not super easy to get immediately if you need them which discourages getting rid of them so they take up too much storage space currently
- in similar games, i personally like to complete all possible orders until im given the “no new orders, to continue please level up/progress the story/whatever the mechanic for the specific game is” prompt and then mass progress until im out of coins and then i return to the merge board and continue the cycle. this game doesnt seem to have that prompt and just endlessly gives a pool of 6 repeating orders until you progress enough to get new generators which personally is actually quite an infuriating setup

### 3/5 — なかなか

*2026-07-10*

ポイ括で始めましたが、クリア期間がいつの間にか過ぎてました。無理でした。
アップデートした直後から、時間設定が〜とメッセージが出て、設定画面へ誘導されますが、時間設定するところもなく…キャンセルをするとゲーム画面も落ちてしまう。のでゲーム自体が出来ない状態になりました。

### 2/5 — Spent a decent chunk of money today…

*2026-07-10, version 28*

I spent a bunch of money and played this for hours earlier. I just went to open it and it’s telling me the time is wrong!?! And force sends me to my settings?? I don’t know what it’s talking about.

### 3/5 — ad doesn’t work

*2026-06-07, version 25*

It's a very good, high-quality game, but the ad viewing button doesn't work anymore, which is a shame.

### 3/5 — Merge Aquarium

*2026-05-25, version 24*

Cute

### 4/5 — Merge aquarium

*2026-05-09, version 21*

Just started but game is great so far 🙂

### 3/5 — Progressively Higher Energy Costs

*2026-05-08, version 21*

This game has kept my attention longer than most games in its category. I like the variety of items you can make and getting more energy without spending money is more accessible than most other games like it.

My only issue is that the further you get into the game, the harder it is to complete orders. Maybe it’s supposed to be that way, but I just spent over 200 energy to make one item, and that takes away from the fun of it.

I don’t like the multi-tier factor of having to max out the items from the picnic basket to make the baguettes which then *might* give you the lemons you need to make ONE lemonade which is HALF of the order I needed to get the toolboxes.

And then I had an order that needed a lemon squeezer, but my baguettes were used up and I only got 5 lemons so now I’d have to start ALL the way over at the picnic basket and max it out again. And sometimes the baguettes only give apples!

It seems excessively wasteful of energy and has me quickly losing motivation to play.

### 4/5 — 합성게임

*2026-04-03*

좋아요

### 3/5 — Great! but…….

*2026-03-22, version 19*

I just wish there was more of a story maybe even a little side activities something to make it a little more fun and interesting and break up the monotony

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-03-16*

I like this game. It’s very fun and interesting to see what the next merge item will be. Will say that they need to fix the fish sorting game though. I’ve already played through all the levels and now can’t get my daily completion for playing. I hope they’ll either add more levels soon or let us replay old ones with no rewards so we can get our daily droplets.

### 2/5 — Not Receiving items when making a purchase

*2026-03-11, version 19*

I have made 4 purchases on this game and I have had to make a request for a refund for 3 of them purchases because I do not receive my items when the purchase goes thru!

### 5/5 — Cute game

*2026-02-26, version 18*

Love the graphics and game play thanks

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2026-02-22, version 17*

*2026-08-16*

유튜브도 되고 앱도 다운다 되는데 얘만 데이터 확인 문구 뜨면 얘 문제죠?

### 1/5 — Time settings?

*2026-07-10, version 28*

I have been playing this game for a month or so and liked it. it would be my go to game to check every morning and night. last night the game wouldn’t let me on kept telling me to change my time settings in settings. nothing I tried fixed it I tried deleting and reinstalling but I guess I just lost all my progress very disappointed I would fix this bug but I’m no longer installing this game anymore.

### 1/5 — 改善方法があれば知りたい

*2026-07-10*

昨日まで普通に使えていたのに、今朝開いたら「時刻が正しくありません！ネットワーク時刻設定を有効にしてください！」となりアプリに入れなくなりました。昨日から設定はなにも変更していませんが、念のため再確認し、設定も確認済み。時刻も何らおかしくないです。どうすればいいのでしょうか、、頑張ってレベル上げたのに、、

### 1/5 — どうにかして！

*2026-07-10*

アプリ立ち上げたら時間の設定ができてないと表示され、終了か設定の２択…
設定をタップしてもスマホの方は時間設定しっかりしてある！
スマホの電源をオフにして再起動してもダメ！Wi-Fiを切ってもダメ！時間あけて起動させてもダメ！朝から何もできない！
アプリのバグですか？

### 1/5 — 時刻設定

*2026-07-09*

ポイ活の目標レベルまであと1レベルなのに、突然ネットワークの時刻設定が正しくないと表示されて進めなくなった。
そもそも何も変えてないし、設定画面にジャンプするがそこで何をすればいいかも不明。

### 1/5 — 不具合

*2026-06-06*

iOSでAquarium Mergeをプレイしています。
報酬広告が機能していません。広告ボタンをタップすると、何も起こりません。
以下のことは既に試しました：
● アプリの再起動
● スマートフォンの再起動
● Wi-Fiとモバイルデータの切り替え
広告は他のアプリでは通常通り機能します。1つの広告は以前に正常に再生されましたが、ゲームを終了した後は、それ以降は広告が機能していません。
至急対応願います。

Hello.

I am playing Aquarium Merge on iOS.

Rewarded ads are not working.
When I tap any ad button, nothing happens.

I have already tried:

* Restarting the app
* Restarting my phone
* Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data

Ads work normally in other apps.
One ad played successfully earlier, but after closing the game, no ads have worked since.

Please help.

Thank you.

### 1/5 — ポイ活15日Lv20無理、改悪しすぎ

*2026-01-03*

ポイ活で15日以内にレベル20は1日中張り付いていても無理でした。必要経験値多過ぎ、もらえるコインは昔の3分の1以下に改悪されてる。達成されないように改悪しているなら、載せないでほしい。時間の無駄でした

### 1/5 — Too many useless things

*2025-12-05, version 10*

The bubbles will fill your play area, there is no way to get rid of them besides just waiting, but then you go to merge, and it gives you 10 more bubbles

### 1/5 — ポイ活無理

*2025-11-25*

ポイ活「15日以内にレベル20到達」に挑戦。一日中やっていましたが、本日15日目でレベル18です。無理でした。
アイスクリーム製造機をすべてマージしてしまったのが原因だと思います。
ブログなどに「7日で達成」などありますが、数年前の記事は基本信じてはいけません。過去の記事には「アップルパイ３つで1600コイン」など書いていますが、今はアップルパイ３つで500コインです。
レモンも３つで大量コインを貰えるかと思いましたが、レモンは何も貰えないどころか最高レベルにマージしても３コインにしかなりません。
こんなに張り付いたのにクリアできなかったポイ活ゲームは初めてです。
挑戦される方は、とにかくアイスクリーム製造機をマージしないように気をつけてください。製造機は一度マージすると戻せません。

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem!!!

*2026-03-04, version 18*

I have an entire folder of merge style games so I consider myself a merge game connoisseur. I have played / tested almost every merge game available. I can say 99% of the merge games that come out are copycat games with the same style graphics, same items, same renovation style goals and it gets repetitive. This game should be at the top of the App Store. It is totally unique to itself, has amazing artistry, is overall great quality and you can tell the developers took their time to make it that way. I could tell immediately the first time I played this that it was going to be one of my top 5 games, and it still is. There’s no other merge game like it. Nice smooth game play. No forced ads (so far). I appreciate the effort the devs put into this and plan on continuing to play and level up for a long time. I will say, a tip for the devs, I would bring the prices down a bit for the in-app purchases and packages. $19.99 is a bit steep for the ad-free daily reward bundle, and there is so much competition in the merge game market with games offering really good in-app purchases bundles for $1.99-5.99. I make in-app purchases in my games almost daily and I would definitely make in-app purchases on this game regularly. I’d have made a few in this game by now if the prices weren’t a bit more steep than the competition. Other than that, this game is an absolute gem in a sea of merge copycats and quickly thrown together merge games with no character to them.
