My favorite animals are permanently locked because the game labels it as ??? And if u don’t know ??? Basically means figure it out yourself, nerd ### 2/5 — (Read before you buy)Are you trying to get 100,000,000,000,000$ or something? *2026-07-21* The only way you can unlock the bamboo shark is by sharing five photos of the great white shark and completing the tasks five times 1st what if you have no one to share it with and second, I accidentally tapped a little button and without confirming it or asking me to confirm it I use something and I have one less thing that I need so I’m literally missing one and the game “daily rewards“ stop giving me the skip ad tickets because the ads do not work at all and every time I delete this game and come back, they have at least like two of my favorite the game do not download this game if you do not want to be scammed or you do not want all of your money GONE some creatures that he would’ve loved have still in the game like the Marlin, the beluga whale humpback whale which got deleted recently the round ribbon tail Ray which I just randomly unlocked one day another time I had this game downloaded it was not on there It just came out of nowhere ### 3/5 — Relaxing but Sky CotL ripoff *2026-07-06, version 1.15.0* This game is relaxing and I am starting to get good at it and I heard it’s a sky ripoff and why does Luna have a cape she’s underwater and when she summons a friend it looks like a sky kid casting a spell also I like how u can explore ### 2/5 — Good simulation BUT we cannot do anything without paying. Plus we cannot control Luna. *2026-07-06, version 1.15.0* 2 star ### 4/5 — I kind of like it *2026-05-20, version 1.15.0* 4 ### 2/5 — Nul *2026-03-27* Nulle je ne sais pas comment on joue vous n’avez pas mis de guide dé départ je les directement enlever après 2 heure car je ne sais pas y jouer les vêtements coûte très chère ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2026-03-07, version 1.15.0* I liked it at first and thought it was peaceful and calming but it got boring so fast I thought it was going to be like the tutorial were you just swim around but it wasn’t. ### 2/5 — Why is it gone? *2025-11-09, version 1.15.0* The fish or marine mammals in the video display are not in the game anymore or I have to just pay for them, orca,sunfish I don’t know what kind, possibly a marlin, jellyfish,gray whale,shark whale. But! Shark whale, that’s not right, what about whale shark instead. Game is fun but I want to have a sawfish/sawshark and a beluga whale! Why do this to your game, and ads don’t work for me. Not that it won’t for anyone else but I don’t like it. ### 3/5 — cute game, just wish AI wasn’t used for the icon *2025-08-16, version 1.15.0* its genuinely so obvious 💔 ### 4/5 — Not a review trying to get ahold of developers *2025-07-06, version 1.15.0* Dear [Support Team/Ocean Game Support], I’m reaching out regarding an issue with my recent purchases in Ocean. I ordered two different game packages—the Megalodon Pack and the Anglerfish Pack—but I haven’t received either of them in my game. I’ve already contacted support three times about this issue, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any response or resolution. I’d really appreciate your help in looking into this and ensuring I receive the content I paid for. I would appreciate if you could get back to me. ### 5/5 — Get this game 👍🏻 *2025-06-29, version 1.15.0* This is a great game with no adds so relaxing ☺️ and calm ☺️ definitely get this game I love it! ### 5/5 — I LOVE but a tiny bit. *2025-05-04, version 1.15.0* You know, I love it but there isn’t much things for Lunas outfits and in app purchases so not to be rude, please make more unlocked stuff for the beginning of the game? I’ve only played for a few days so I don’t really know much about the game so forgive me Thank you ☺️ ### 4/5 — No, it’s not a copy of sky:children of the light. *2025-04-27, version 1.15.0* First of all, the game is not open world, it’s a stationary game. Though you can control Luna, there’s nothing much beyond your garden. Compared to sky, which is an open world. Just because something is similar to another thing doesn’t mean it’s a copy. I don’t think you haters have heard of the word “inspiration”.. ### 3/5 — Luna as Mermaid 🫶🏻 pls *2025-03-30* I like this game so much but I think it will be so much better when luna has a mermaid teil 😍it will feel so much the atmosphere from this all but please the mermaid tall do not buy with real money it can be buy for 🐚 or something else A BIGGEST PLEASSSSE thanks ☺️ I love this game 🧜‍♀️ ### 5/5 — 意外と良い *2025-03-29* ども。失礼致します。いつも暇な時に遊ばせてもらっています。正直な感想、結構楽しかったです。強いて言えばお友達の解放条件が探しずらいとか、ログボのお友達が多すぎと言うことぐらいですかね。あとは、新しいイベントを追加していただければ嬉しいです。頼み事が多すぎてすいません。出来ればであれば、採用お願いします。あと一つ、お願い事があります。出来れば、甲殻類なども、追加して欲しいです。アプデはいつでも構いません。上から目線ですいません。改善点は、少しずつ直してもらえれば大丈夫です。そして、お友達の種類を増やすにあたって、サンゴの種類などもすこーしでも良いので、増やしてくれたら嬉しいです。あと、ペンギンなども増やしてくれたら嬉しいです。お願い事が多すぎて申し訳ございません。これは実現しなくても大丈夫です。言ってみただけです。でも、少し期待しています。これからもゲーム開発がんばって下さい！！ ### 5/5 — It’s just like sky *2025-03-09, version 1.15.0* Cuz it’s relaxing ☺️ ### 5/5 — 避雷了 *2025-03-06, version 1.15.0* 特别的难玩 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is a total snooze fest, not gonna lie 💀 *2025-08-22, version 1.15.0* This is so boring! It's just a copy of Sky Children of the Light lol and oh by the way T H I S G A M E S U C K S ### 1/5 — no *2025-06-01, version 1.15.0* a rip-off of sky: cotl ### 1/5 — May be copyright. *2025-04-17, version 1.15.0* I’m pretty sure this is a copy of sky cotl — it has similar hairs and other. ;-; ### 1/5 — No thoughts *2025-01-23, version 1.15.0* No thoughts were put into this game. Makes 0 sense. Let me control literally anything happening in the game. An info or help section would be nice when the game isn’t working how it seems it’s supposed to. ### 1/5 — 요청 *2025-01-07* 게임은 너무 아기자기 하고 귀여운데 지금 게임안에서 구매를 했는데 계속 돈만 결제되고 산것들이 들어오지는 않아요 결제 취소나 받을수 있는방법을 알려주세요 ### 1/5 — I spent money on a purchase and I can’t even us it… *2024-10-18* Is this some kinda scam? The game features are so cute and I was super excited to use them but then I purchase hair and accessories with REAL MONEY and I can’t even access them??? fix this. ### 1/5 — Copy right! *2024-10-14, version 1.15.0* This is copying sky cotl do the devs even know about this ### 1/5 — No. Just no. Not worth it *2024-09-28, version 1.15.0* Look.. this game is a literal rip off of Sky. if you want to play calming games like these just play Sky. It’s a perfect relaxing and cool games where you can make friends, swim, go one adventures and make friends. Im going to tell my facts why I hate this game. I didn’t dig too much but I can tell most of the stuff. I’ve been playing sky for four years and I made some nice and warming memory’s. I’m gonna tell some tiny and big stuff on why I hate this game. (Also I’m sick so I might be a little grumpy and I love sky it’s my childhood and there might be some point of view changes with the developer and you all.) So. 1. Big hint that they copied off Sky. WHY DOES LUNA HAVE TO HAVE A CAPE? SHES UNDERWATER WHATS THE USE OF THAT? IS THIS RAGE BAIT? In Sky everyone usually has to have capes to fly and stuff. And they also have it on when they swim. They did not have to give her a cape😭 2. The style of the character. Some of the outfits are the same in sky but there’s also some that are inspired. But the style. The literal style. The whole body is exactly like how TGC made the bodies in sky. And the way Luna looks like she has the original mask in sky on but instead it’s her actual face. (The eyes look the same tbh. In sky this is how they look like when they close their eyes with the original free mask.) The details like the light on her (idk how to say it) is also just like sky. {NOW ONTO TINY STUFF} 3. The apps image is like Luna on a turtle but they gave it to ai so they could make it into a ai generated image. 😭 I feel like the developers are so trash they can’t even say anything about all these reports about how it’s a rip off because they have nothing to do about it. I hope this app gets taken away. It should’ve been like a 3.9. ### 1/5 — 현질했는데 아이템 지급을 안해주네요. *2024-09-14* 1100원 광고쿠폰 3개 결제했는데 들어오질 않습니다. 사기 당한건지 게임이 버그투성이인건지 얼른 환불해주세요. ### 1/5 — Money scam *2024-09-14, version 1.15.0* You don't receive/unlock things after you've paid for them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this *2026-07-13, version 1.15.0* This was the best game ever played ### 5/5 — I love *2026-07-11, version 1.15.0* It’s so cute, like It’s js rlly relaxing ### 5/5 — Lovely *2026-06-03, version 1.15.0* This is an amazing app for people how like fish, designing, and play with sea animals. Recommend. It is beautiful game take lots of pictures and videos of the fish and enjoy the game. I hope this is helpful. ### 5/5 — Stop saying that this game is a copy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-05-06, version 1.15.0* This game is really relaxing, but I got really angry when these people saying it’s a copy of another game, but what I want you to tell you is “Stop saying it’s a copy of another game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I am tired of you saying that! But to me, this game is really good, and relaxing. Which is why I rated this app for 5 stars. ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD! *2026-04-28, version 1.15.0* Fire app ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!! *2026-02-15, version 1.15.0* I have been playing the game for about two weeks and so far I’ve been enjoying it so much! I love the variety of cute fishes! I also have some suggestions for the game. So my first suggestion is to have events once in a while that let you unlock past event fish because I joined after most cool events with fish I really wanted. And another game I played “splash” had that and I love the feature. This is just a suggestion and you don’t have to actually do it. No pressure! I hope this game will keep updating and being better and better! ### 5/5 — Why is it gone? *2026-01-09* The fish or marine mammals in the video display are not in the game anymore or I have to just pay for them, orca,sunfish I don’t know what kind, possibly a marlin, jellyfish,gray whale,shark whale. But wait! Shark whale, that’s not right, what about whale shark instead. Game is fun but I want to have a sawfish/sawshark and a beluga whale! Why do this to your game, and ads don’t work for me. Not that it won’t for anyone else but I don’t like it. ### 5/5 — Why is it gone? *2025-12-01* The fish or marine mammals in the video display are not in the game anymore or I have to just pay for them, orca,sunfish I don’t know what kind, possibly a marlin, jellyfish,gray whale,shark whale.

No, you NEED to download it ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME! + character customization suggestions *2025-09-05, version 1.15.0* I’ve been playing this game for a couple of months now and It relaxes me a lot when I need it, thank you so much! I look forward to seeing more types of fish added and maybe more jellyfish too! They’re my favorite! As for the update suggestion I thought maybe adding a mermaid tail option for the character instead of legs would be awesome plus would fit perfectly with the aesthetic! I also have a jellyfish haircut and would luv to see it as a hair option someday! As for anyone reading this I’d say give the game a chance! :3 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
