Unfortunately, I can’t give this five stars because the menus are a little confusing, and I see no indication on how to access the storage. It took me literal days to figure out how to switch between aquariums. Also, sometimes the daily quests bugs out, and will randomly say I didn’t do them that day when I did. There isn’t any punishment for it, besides the gratification that I did something having been ripped from me, but still a mild gripe. Otherwise, absolutely lovely game! **Developer response:** Hi, we're Pivot Games! Thank you for taking the time to leave us your valuable feedback! 😊 We'll do our best to improve our games based on your feedback and make them even more fun to play. 😁 Have a great day! ### 4/5 — Very Fun and Cute, Some issues *2022-11-27* This game is very fun to play with a great selection of puzzles and so many adorable fish and cool decorations, however, I get WAY too many ads, like I constantly get ads, I get that it’s a free game and will have ads that’s fine, but I get way too many and not everyone can afford to pay to get rid of ads. Also I turned the sound and stuff off and it let me listen to my own music while playing after that but everytime I get and ad the music stops and I have to play it again which is super annoying (also it doesn’t stop during the ad only after I exit even though ads never have the audio on default, idk why it stops the music, please fix that). There are lots of puzzles each with plenty of levels but to unlock the next puzzle you have to play a certain amount of levels of the previous puzzle and for me, by the time I got to the last few puzzles, playing the levels to unlock the next one felt like a chore, you can unlock puzzles without playing the levels but it costs a lot of coins. My last problem is for me, after a little bit, everything started costing a lot of coins and I have to grind to get ANYTHING now, it’s really annoying. Overall though it’s a very fun game and very cute, I really like the concept and there is enough content to keep you occupied and having fun for a long time and the fish are so adorable. I’d recommend this game even with the issues it has. ### 5/5 — 정~~~~~말 추천 *2022-09-03* 너무너무 재미 있어요. 퍼즐도 많이 있어서 여러가지로 골를수 있어요. ### 4/5 — Good game but… *2022-08-27, version 49* You guys should put a hard mode that’s actually difficult because the puzzles are a bit too easy other than that this is a good game ### 5/5 — absolutely LOVE *2022-06-22* i never write reviews but this is the first puzzle game ive come across that has multiple types of games and the most addictive. i love collecting fish and buying plants to decorate the aquarium. i do like that there are different themes, BUT i really only like playing on one of them. i appreciate that there are options that i can pick but i hate that when my aquarium is full i have to play on a different background and redecorate it. if the game updates to a scroll type aquarium background where you can have unlimited fish and plants/ maybe you can buy more space? that'd be really cool! ### 5/5 — fun easy puzzle game *2022-04-08, version 48* the fish are cute and i love this game ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-03-22, version 48* Second or third time I have downloaded this game . I always go back, thanx ### 5/5 — 너무재밌어요 *2022-03-05* 재밌어요 ### 5/5 — Just. Wow *2022-02-26, version 48* This game’s aesthetics along with the endless supply of puzzles is amazing. And no ads?? You guys deserve this ### 4/5 — Very cute! *2022-02-19, version 47* It’s super cute, just you could talk to the fish or just see a little emoji to display their mood ### 5/5 — This game is awesome *2022-02-06, version 46* You get to collect cute fish and play fun puzzles, without spending actual money! What else could you wish for? :D ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-02-04, version 45* I like it ### 3/5 — Fun puzzles but *2022-02-03, version 45* the puzzles are fun but that’s all there is to it, the tutorial urchin is constantly in your face about unlocks but I’m really playing the game for puzzles and could care less about the fishes. kind of wish he could back off. the game also doesn’t really motivate me to put more fishes in the tank. ### 4/5 — Missing Piece *2022-01-16, version 45* I tried to do the special event, but a piece was missing in a puzzle where you fill in a hexagon grid (there were two pieces instead of three as there should have been). Can you fix that, please? ### 3/5 — Good games, need update *2022-01-16, version 45* The games are fun and the fish are cute but there has not been any new aquariums in a very long time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Daily rewards *2022-03-19, version 48* I accidentally logged out after the daily rewards had shown so I couldn’t get any of the rewards. Is there any ways to fix it ### 1/5 — Relaxing puzzles but devs are greedy! *2022-02-12* I really love this game as I love doing all kinds of puzzles. You can play all types of puzzles while working towards decorating aquariums and collecting cute fish. I mean puzzles, relaxation and cuteness — what isn’t there to love? I loved it so much I thought it was worth spending the $2.99 to get rid of ads completely. Permanently, actually, is what I was promised. And I don’t pay for games on the App Store often. This was going great until recently, the devs decided to get greedy and came out with a subscription plan you must pay for if you want the ads to go away entirely. And the subscription is ridiculously overpriced at $4 PER WEEK! $208 a year plus tax to play some puzzles games? No thanks. I am so very saddened to have such a great experience and then have it ripped away. What a terrible thing to do to your existing customers and supporters. ### 1/5 — 楽しいのですが。。 *2021-01-28* コインを貯めて水槽を作るのですがクイズをクリアしてももらえるコインが少なすぎ、広告いちいち見て増やすか、やはり広告ルーレットまわすかですが、ルーレットは全部コイン100しか出ない。お魚チケットは50%の出目なのに？？出さないならルーレットにする必要無し！！この手のゲームの中ではかなり無課金だとシビアです。 **Developer response:** 貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。 おっしゃってくださったコインの獲得量とルーレット確率については内部で検討して調整できるよう最善を尽くします。 ありがとうございました！ ### 1/5 — stop asking me to review your game i already have *2020-08-16, version 7* i do like this game a lot but starting now every time i get asked to review it my rating will go down one star edit 1: i like your game please stop asking me to rate it edit 2: cmon guys there isn’t any way you can see that i’ve reviewed the game ### 1/5 — 広告のシステムが *2020-08-07* 広告のルール？が急に変わったのか、このゲームをインストールしてすぐに課金して広告を出さないようにしたのに、今日から出るようになった。 広告ルールを変えるならきちんと変える前に予告とかしないんですか？説明なしでまた課金しろ？？これは詐欺では？ 皆さんも気をつけて **Developer response:** ゲームのご不便をおかけし、誠に申し訳ございません。 今回、広告削除アイテム以外にも購読システムを追加することになりましたが、広告削除アイテムと購読システムは別個に作用しています。 どうやら、今回のアップデートで該当部分にエラーがあったようです。 水族館画面上部の「+」ボタンをタッチしてコインショップに入った後、下段の「復元」ボタンをタッチしてみてください。 それでも継続して広告が出た場合、またメールを送ってください。 おっしゃった部分はできるだけ早いうちに修正できるようにします。 ありがとうございます。 ### 2/5 — Was fun for a while then ads came back *2025-12-22, version 53* I paid for the ad-free version. Banner ads started showing up again. Deleted the app. What a waste of money. ### 2/5 — Great but needs updates *2025-09-02, version 53* The game feels very abandoned. It hasn’t had any real updates for a long time and that’s really disappointing. Please don’t give up on it! ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2022-12-27, version 50* Got to level 57 of the single line puzzles (like dot-to-dots) and although I have solved it, it won’t let me move on to the next puzzle. I tried exiting the game and starting over, but nothing helps. I can’t move on to the next puzzles. Very frustrating! Otherwise I have really enjoyed this app! ### 2/5 — Ruined by ads *2021-12-24* Cute aesthetic and puzzle system. I was alright with having optional ads to get extra boosts or spins but forcing 30s ads in between levels killed my enjoyment fast, especially considering that early levels only take 2-3s to clear. Pretty sneaky that I got 0 ads in the first 5 minutes then started getting ads every other level after the grace period. These guys clearly know how to go about manipulating their players. **Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are constantly striving to coordinate our efforts to include game monetization for game improvements and content additions, but do not interfere with game play. If you want to get rid of the ad, you can buy an ad removal item from the in-game store. Have a nice day! ### 2/5 — Fun game *2020-08-18, version 7* Loved this game until I got stuck in some puzzles that wouldn’t let me place the last piece. Now I’ll probably uninstall. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — パズル好きにもってこい *2026-04-23* 様々な種類のパズルが出来るうえクリア次第で自分のアクアリウムに生き物が呼べる。 癒やし系パズルゲーム ### 5/5 — LOVE this Game! *2026-04-13* It’s fun, gives rewards quickly, and is easy to understand and navigate. Plus, the ads aren’t bad and they wait until you’re done with a puzzle to show them. So far I’m really enjoying this game! ### 5/5 — Worth it *2024-09-21, version 51* Great game, ads every five or so tries, highly recommend spending 5$ for many hours of uninterrupted playtime. Note: only removes forced ads, not reward based ads ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-06-26, version 51* This is a highly amazing game really fun and barely any adds ### 5/5 — Problem *2023-10-08, version 50* This game is fun and similar to puzzledom, but there is a problem where I play the game for 5 minutes or so, and then the game suddenly freezes. Everytime it does this I always have to force quit the game then go back on it, please fix 🙏 ### 5/5 — Great game!! *2023-06-09, version 50* This game is highly recommended when your bored or want to play something peaceful ### 5/5 — Calming *2023-03-16, version 50* I find it very calming and good for the brain and not too bad for advertising , very worth it . ### 5/5 — A Very fun game *2023-01-29* When i want to get my mind off of things i go to some of my other games but they have ads and not as much of a fun environment with loss of words. But with this game i haven’t had a single ad yet! And it’s very fun to just play with puzzles sometimes!! ### 5/5 — 재밌어요 *2022-11-29* 퍼즐류 게임을 좋아하는데 퍼즐 종류와 스테이지도 다양하고 효과음들도 힐링되어서 좋아요. 물고기들 애니메이션도 귀여워서 할 맛 나네요 ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡̷ ### 5/5 — Get this game *2022-11-26, version 50* This game is really fun! The fish are so CUTE and the levels are fun. It is just fun puzzles, no match three! Anyway, great game, keep up the good work! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
