### 4/5 — Great!

*2026-08-22, version 1.3.101*

Very beginner friendly! Love it! This is my second time playing it after my last phone broke. Would appreciate if there was a way to max out training (and if there is, please let me know!)

### 4/5 — 😭😭😭😭

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.101*

It was the best game EVER then my magikarp got taken by a pigeoy or how ever you spell it . ITS SO SAD LONG LIVE JIMOTHY THE THIRD

### 5/5 — Fun but hard

*2026-08-15, version 1.3.101*

The tutorial helps but my favorite carp was just swimming around I don’t what a limit :update WHY FOCED TO RETIRE??still five stars tho

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-13, version 1.3.101*

Genuinely pretty good. Relaxing game to pass the time

### 5/5 — Better than all other Pokémon games

*2026-08-11, version 1.3.101*

This game is awesome and it’s free with no ads!!! I do love Pokémon games especially the older games but they are so expensive. My favorite Pokémon is Magikarp has been and always will be

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2026-08-10*

Le jeu est super pour jouer tranquillement dans son lit ,avec un décor chill avec des dessins dans un style manga pour enfant et avec le plus d’humour possible ,de plus ,un jeu sur le thème des Magicarpe ,qui l’aurait imaginé ? Les motifs sont incroyables à collectionner et en plus ,le jeu n’a pas de pubs ! Le jeu est juste un peu longuet ,pas ouf pour des gens trop impatients ou des enfants . Mais ya d’autres avantages,genre les diamants ,dans 90% des jeux vidéos c’est entièrement payant ,mais là ,on peut les acheter ou les obtenir dans les ligues ou des des événements spéciaux ! Bref le jeu est incroyable !

### 5/5 — My childhood game that I decided to go back too…

*2026-08-07, version 1.3.101*

Perfect

### 5/5 — B O I N G

*2026-08-04, version 1.3.101*

Bro can jump like crazy 

It’s a game about one of my favorite pokemon
i even have a magikarp i put on my head irl AND a magikarp plush!

### 5/5 — Just… perfection

*2026-08-02, version 1.3.101*

I only started playing like 20 minutes ago but it is honestly one of the most adorable,addictive and fantastic games ever. Im sooo glad that the GOD FEESH got its own game and I promise you for a fact that I will enjoy this game for years to come just one problem. Please update it frequently like adding more ‘friends’ for your magikarp and adding more decorations etc but overall I rate this a 10/5 please make more games like this. P.S. magikarp is the true god of all Pokémon

### 5/5 — 포덕

*2026-08-01*

짱 재밌어용ㅎㅎ 제가 포덕인데 특히 잉어킹,메타몽 이런애 좋아하거든요..근데 이벤트에 메타몽도 있고 무늬도 많아서 좋긴한데, 다이아 모으는게 힘들어요ㅠㅠ이것만 고치면 포덕으로서 좋을것 같아요

### 4/5 — OMG

*2026-08-01, version 1.3.101*

Hi, I love your game. This is so fun. You gotta try it if you’re just looking at the reviews like I always do at Pokémon games just when you do the out of nowhere do not shows to jump and get the berries a Pigyard will steal your magikarp and you’ll have to get a new one. Have fun!

### 4/5 — Cool

*2026-07-30, version 1.3.101*

While it’s not super ultra engaging it’s fun to play time to time and pretty cute

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-07-30, version 1.3.101*

So fun

### 5/5 — Such a goofy and fun game!

*2026-07-30, version 1.3.101*

I’m going to tell a story, but here’s my review first! This game is enjoyable and entertaining and you’ll spend hours on it! I would suggest to get! And now here’s the story:



I was on a road trip and I was bored so I downloaded this. So fun! I spent hours on it watching my Magikarp upgrade, before I knew it, I fell asleep 😅. So fun! I would suggest this game to anyone! :)

### 5/5 — Funny

*2026-07-30, version 1.3.101*

It’s a goofy game about magikarp

### 4/5 — Pokémon: Magikarp Jump

*2026-07-30, version 1.3.101*

This game is really fun, but the player does the same thing over and over. If you are able to add more to the game, I, and many others who play this game, would really appreciate it. If you think this is an unnecessary review, please let me know. It is the second day having this game, and I am already pretty bored. If this issue can be resolved, please let me know. Thank you so much.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-07-28, version 1.3.101*

It was my nine years ago and I guess it’s still peak I can’t believe most people don’t play this. They even made a song about the game everything about it just perfect.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-07-27, version 1.3.101*

Really just play the game, it is a Pokémon game and Magikarp Really Do Evolve into Gyarados 💙❤️.

### 5/5 — finally Magikarp is useful

*2026-07-23, version 1.3.101*

i thought Magikarp was useless in all  Pokemon games except this one but this one was worth it for Magikarp fans

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2026-07-21, version 1.3.101*

This game is so fun. You can play on long trips and when you’re bored

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Disgusting and vile game

*2026-07-03, version 1.3.101*

The game will randomly kill your Magikarp, which is fine as an adult, but it broke my child's heart. Really takes an awful sort of person to do this in a pokemon game, without warning.

### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2026-05-18, version 1.3.101*

When I lose, I have to start over a new Magikarp! I really miss my Karpy! I'm so angry about this! So I deleted it

### 1/5 — Boring

*2026-04-16, version 1.3.101*

All you do is train your magic Karl to out jump other Pokemon I mean ig it’s the name but would not play again

### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2026-03-27, version 1.3.101*

I had to give up my Magikarp I thought you were supposed to make friend with Pokémon not abandon them for other ones

### 1/5 — Stop

*2026-03-16, version 1.3.101*

Ok so apparently to game knowledge 2012 22th doesn’t exist cool I never knew that guess I don’t exist anymore

### 1/5 — This game is awesome. Just one thing

*2026-03-01, version 1.3.101*

It is really annoying when you lose and your Magikarp is at retirement age, why, because it restarts all your progress in leagues. So if you could fix that I would love it and give you five stars instead of four

### 1/5 — Pls fix

*2026-01-28, version 1.3.101*

Ok so, I used to play this game when I was little and I wanted to play it again but it wouldn’t let me enter may for the birth month and I couldn’t start playing, please fix this

### 1/5 — Stupid Pidgeoto

*2026-01-10, version 1.3.101*

I had a gold Magikarp that I named Lucky and he made me so happy. Then a Pidgeoto came and stole it, so I uninstalled the game. RIP Lucky

### 1/5 — No hay como guardar progreso

*2025-12-13, version 1.3.101*

Hace años lo jugué y pasé todo el juego, el problema es que ahora que quiero volver a jugar no puedo recuperarlo por qué no tengo el código de registro del dispositivo de hace muchos años, si tuviera opción de inicio de sesión y guardado de nube tipo google, Apple, Facebook o en cuenta oficial de Niantic o pokemon sería más fácil volver a jugar y dedicarle muchas horas más… pero me niego a empezar desde cero otra vez.

### 1/5 — Can’t beat heavy league

*2025-10-24, version 1.3.101*

The league is too hard and I have never met a person smarter than me so they might not help me. Even with my 9th generation I am still struggling so please help me out! Here is a hint : Title says which one I’m struggling on. I called my 9th generation karpson.

*2026-08-17, version 1.3.101*
