### 1/5 — So upset

*2026-08-18, version 1.25.11*

I did love this game until one day I log on and find out my save is just gone. Tried so many times to get in contact with support with no luck and all my progress and multiple event fish and hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on this game is gone.

### 4/5 — Good but its got ad problems

*2026-08-16, version 1.24.6*

Amazing game, one of the best but five minutes of ads for one spin item or free maturing is ridiculous, you can never get out of ads without closing the app either. And its especially irritating for how much battery life this game eats. Its a big turn off. Limit ad time. Better the game.

### 3/5 — pretty cool

*2026-08-16, version 1.24.6*

pretty cool game, cozy and stuff but when you are out of bubbles theres not much you can do. you can just wait for like 30-40min s to play again.

### 3/5 — good but problem

*2026-08-15, version 1.24.6*

I have fish from a past event and I can’t feed them because the plants don’t produce that food anymore and I aint paying money for the currency to buy it so I’m stuck with fish who are taking up space with no way to remove them I might have to reset all my hard earned progress because these stupid fish are stuck in my pond with no way to get them out

### 5/5 — Best. Game. EVERR!!

*2026-08-13, version 1.24.6*

I found this game and thought it looked super cool, and I like, begged my mom to get it for me, and she did. I absolutely LOVE this game, the music is very soothing, the fish are beautiful, and there are no ads. And I was even on time for the events! Really lovely game.

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2026-08-12, version 1.24.6*

This game is very calming and perfect for people who love fish and frogs! This game always helps me relax and lets me take care of some fish I can’t have! It’s overall a very well made, cute, and relaxing game. Would recommend but be careful…It’s very addicting!

### 5/5 — On adore

*2026-08-12*

C incrr ça fait 2 jours j’y joue je suis accro ce qui aime les poissons 🐟 essaye le graphisme :🩷🩷c relax trop bien 👍 merci d’avoir fait ce jeu

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-11, version 1.24.6*

I LOVE THIS GAMEE it’s so relaxing in every way and I absolutely adore the art and characters it’s truly my favourite game

### 5/5 — this game is awesome, but I have an idea for a new game

*2026-08-11, version 1.24.6*

this game is awesome and super relaxing, but I have an idea for the development team. Could you potentially do a game similar to this but with Horses? I’d really appreciate it.

### 3/5 — Jogo bom, porém o tempo desanima

*2026-08-10*

O jogo é lindo, interessante, bem construído. Mas o tempo de espera pelas comidas, pelo crescimento dos peixes e algumas outras coisas, é exageradamente longo. Mesmo com feedback dado pelos jogadores, pelo que notei, o desenvolvedor não melhora essa parte. Uma coisa é se fosse uma diferença entre 5-10 mim pro progresso de cada peixe, mas esperar 2h pra eclodir, 2h pra gerar comida… O sistema de sorteio pra conseguir mais decorações etc tbm demora muito, tinha q ser outra moeda pra comprar as plantas. Uma que não demorasse tanto pra aparecer ou que permitisse comprar com bolhas.
