Love it!!!!!!

It’s a fantastic, calming game. I love my aquatic creatures!

Meeehhhhh

I like this game alot but inless you spend actual money, you will be stuck waiting hours to do ANYTHING because you need more bubbles- i have restarted several times and no way to win without spending money

It’s fun but…

I’ve played for a while now, and it’s super cute, graphics are clean and cute, the fish and decorations are great. I just can’t stand the events anymore. I know, you don’t *have* to participate in the events, but it kind of sucks that there’s no way to get most of the items unless I literally open the app every 2hours. I have even woken up at night to feed event fish or collect paint and never end up making it to the last event item.

The game is adorable and I love it, but I can’t handle the blatant cash grab. I like buying items to support fun games, but I don’t like when I *have* to buy items for “fun” events.

Sorry runaway, I love your games (played 3 different ones and they are all the same issue), but it’s time for me to uninstall.

Idk

The game is great I played every time I had free time and the game is amazing and I love the cool stuff and events and the fish are awesome

Good game

This game is very relaxing and so fun

Opt out of events

I know this is weird but there should be a way to not partake in events, the northern flasher event thing is happening and I didn’t want to get new fish in the first place, I know that sounds odd but I’m autistic so I didn’t want any change, but nonetheless when I opened the app the eggs appeared, also I’m afraid of it looking weird in my pond residents area, if I miss a fish and it’ll be blank that will drive me insane, I love the game but I’m very upset by this

Fun with fishies

Been playing this game for a month now, love it so much. I have clown loaches & plecos IRL. Check up on my phone fishes while watching my real ones haha. The art style is so pretty too

Bad

It’s bad

AMAZING

It’s so good I would definitely recommend it to anyone like yessss👍🏻 the design is AWESOME like Lilly the other having a flower on her head 🥺

Response from developer

Thank you so much, we love the enthusiasm! 🥺 Lily's flower is such a sweet detail, we're glad it caught your eye. Thanks for recommending us!

Fish Keeper Approved!

It’s rare to find a mobile game that’s actually cozy and relaxing. The gameplay, art, music, and overall vibes are amazing. I also love the characters, Lily and Willow. As a freshwater fish keeper, I’m extremely impressed with the artists for accurately portraying popular freshwater fish I’d find in the aquarium hobby. Most species are too large or advanced for me personally so I’d probably never own them. But at least I can live that fantasy through this game lol. 5/5⭐️

So upset

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.

Response from developer

We're really sorry to hear this. If you have your User ID, we can locate your game and restore your progress. Please reach out to us at support@runaway.zendesk.com with your User ID and any details you have. We want to get your pond back! 🌿

Good but its got ad problems

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.

pretty cool

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.

Response from developer

Thanks for playing! Bubble Coins can be earned from decorations that produce them, which can help keep things moving between waits. It's worth checking what decorations are available as you progress. Hope you stick with it! 🌿

good but problem

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

Response from developer

We understand the frustration here. After an event ends, event crafting items convert to regular items, but event supplies don't carry over. The decorations you used to feed event species do remain useful for those species though! Please reach out to us at support@runaway.zendesk.com and we can look into your specific situation. Please don't reset your progress! 🙏

Best. Game. EVERR!!

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.

Amazing game!

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!

On adore

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

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour ce retour adorable ! 🐟🩷 On est ravis que le jeu te plaise autant et que tu sois déjà accro après seulement 2 jours ! Bonne continuation dans le Pond !

Amazing

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

this game is awesome, but I have an idea for a new game

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.

Jogo bom, porém o tempo desanima

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.
