### 2/5 — ごめんなさい。

*2025-10-11, version 2.13.0*

ピンを抜くゲームがメインみたいな説明ですが、3マッチパズルから始まってたまにピンを抜くゲームがあるってシステム。
動きがもっさりしていて全体的にパッとしない雰囲気。
私には合わなかったです。

### 2/5 — Werbung und gleiche Levels

*2023-04-16, version 2.9.7*

Es gibt ständig Abstürze und die Levels sind oft die gleichen ,es macht einfach keinen Spaß immer das gleiche zu spielen und es gibt mehr Werbung als Spielzeit .

### 3/5 — 判定がガバ

*2023-02-16, version 2.9.5*

この手のゲームは詐欺広告が多いけどちゃんとピン抜きのゲームなので詐欺では無いし、サクサク進める。でもクリア判定がガバガバ過ぎて失敗だろそれ、みたいなのもクリアになる。暇つぶしにはいいと思う

### 1/5 — Timo

*2022-06-28, version 2.9.0*

He hecho el pago y me sigue saliendo la publicidad.

### 2/5 — Tem pouco nível!!!!

*2022-05-20, version 2.8*

Eu tava na fase 100 e aí quando acabei a fase  o jogo  disse  que as fases acabaram e tem gente que fala que tá na fase 1000

### 4/5 — Really fun!!

*2022-04-30, version 2.8*

This game is really fun but there’s way too many ads and I’ve seen the other comments and they were saying how bad the ads were but they were fine and there was nothing inappropriate at all. The reason why I gave this 4 stars is because there were way to many ads.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2022-03-02, version 2.8*

U will only be watching ads and it tells u were to go so it dose isn’t let u figure it out your self

### 1/5 — Thanks guys!

*2022-03-02, version 2.8*

I was going to get this game but with all the bad things y’all said I am not going to thank y’all!

### 1/5 — No es justo

*2022-01-07, version 2.8*

Hola en mi juego me dan una opción para que no me salgan anuncios e igualmente me ponen anuncios así que no te lo recomiendo. 
ES EL PEOR juego del mundo.

### 1/5 — DELETE APP!😡

*2021-11-15, version 2.8*

Controls difficult to move. Not particularly 'puzzling' or fun for that matter. Crude graphics seal the deal!

DELETE APP!😡

### 1/5 — Ad heavy

*2021-10-31, version 2.8*

When the reviewer said ad heavy wasn’t joking. I had to watch 2 ads just to go to next level. After twice doing that I deleted app after 2 levels.

### 2/5 — Bello,  ma il livello 41 non funziona.

*2021-09-19, version 2.8*

Carino rompicapo ma al livello 41 è impossibile spostare una saracinesca in basso a destra perché troppo vicina al bordo del display. Quindi no si può andare oltre. Peccato!

### 1/5 — Ad heavy

*2021-09-06, version 2.7*

If you enjoy ads you’ll love this…………

### 3/5 — Очередная гов.. игра ради рекламы таких же игр

*2021-09-05, version 2.7*

Игра сделана на коленке, отвратная графика, геймплей не продуман, за миссии вы можете получить к примеру все 3* даже не убив врага и.т.д бесконечная реклама конечно же буквально через каждую миссию.

Идея головоломки на подобие этой игры нормальная, но реализация просто отстой

### 4/5 — :)

*2021-08-27, version 2.7*

finally got through all the levels! the only thing wrong that i can find is the fish sometimes swims outside the box after you complete the level. otherwise really good :)

### 1/5 — NON SCARICATELO ASSOLUTAMENTE SCONSIGLIATO!!

*2021-08-27, version 2.7*

Il gioco si interrompe continuamente consuma un sacco di batteria non è fluido ed in più sono più le pubblicità che ti devi sorbire che non i momenti di gioco!!!! ASSOLUTAMENTE SCONSIGLIATO

### 1/5 — Muss man nicht haben

*2021-06-27, version 2.3*

Ich habe das Spiel gerade runtergeladen und es gerade mal 6 Spiele gespielt und zwar aus dem Grund, dass ich mehr Werbung hatte als das eigentliche Spiel. Dafür ist mir meine Zeit einfach zu schade wenn ich nach jedem Spiel Werbung bekomme! 
Save the Fish kann definitiv weg!

### 1/5 — New: The game isn’t even the same anymore

*2025-09-30, version 2.13.0*

I liked the pull the pin and save the fish. Now this is a completely different game. Just the same old basic “match 3”. I was waiting for more levels of the pin pull but now I’m just deleting it.

In addition: I just received a response to this review that had ZERO to do with what I said in email. I have no idea what that was even about. But I will not be changing my rating, thanks for asking.

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for letting us know about the app's slowness. We are actively working on optimizing performance and expect to release an update with improvements very soon. Thank you for your feedback.

### 1/5 — Was great before the change

*2024-10-21, version 2.12.0*

Around a year or a bit I offloaded this game when it was a pin pull game cut to now when I decided to reinstall the game and now it's just a stupid candy crush ripoff I'm going to offload the game again until A. It changes back to the of pin pull game. Or B. Have an option to play the pin pull instead or aswell as the candy crush ripoff (and not need to play the ripoff candy crush)

### 1/5 — Save the fish

*2024-04-10, version 2.12.0*

I thought I was really going to like this game. I did until the Timer came on… for 1 minute..
Don’t like it so much now! Ruined it for me I was really liking it.. 😖

### 1/5 — Sad

*2023-11-05, version 2.11.1*

It’s not pull the pin any longer.   Just another match 3 games.

### 1/5 — I don’t like it

*2023-10-13, version 2.11.1*

I feel a lot of regrets about this game because I want to pull the pins

### 1/5 — Not a pull the pin anymore

*2023-10-09, version 2.11.1*

Used to love this game. I enjoyed the pull the pin and dealt with the ads because I enjoyed it. Now it is similar to every other game. Not worth the download! Been playing for years and am deleting it.

### 1/5 — Too many ad

*2023-06-30, version 2.10.11*

So much ad

### 1/5 — No Ads for 1.99 is a Farce

*2022-11-20, version 2.9.3*

This game is so full of ads that it is not worth downloading.  I thought I would go the no ads route.  The ads still popped up after each stupid game.   So annoying and such a waste of $1.99.

### 1/5 — Still Ads after paying

*2022-08-07, version 2.9.0*

I paid for No Ads , yet i still get Ads 
WTF

### 5/5 — Серьёзные баги

*2023-08-17, version 2.10.11*

Помню играл в эту игру, но она меня настолько взбесила рекламой, что я даже написал негативный отзыв ( что очень редко я делал). Но я вспомнил эту игру и решил дать игре второй шанс ( кстати спасибо, что вы ответили на мой отзыв). И что я могу сказать, рекламы стало меньше, что радует. Если раньше она была через каждый пройденный уровень, то сейчас она появляется, если много перезапускать уровень или если ты захочешь получить 1000 монет или открыть рыбку. Кстати, я нашёл баги в этой игре. 1 баг: если враг осьминог упадёт или подойдёт к рыбке, то ты не проиграешь, хотя если враг дотронется рыбы, то ты проиграешь. 2 баг: если вода польётся к рыбке и в это время упадёт или дотронется рыбке осьминог или краб, ты проиграешь и ты можешь услышать звук, что ты дал рыбке воды и если немного подождать, то появится экран, что ты выиграл, хотя ты проиграл. Этот баг очень прикольный. Ну что сказать, игра стала лучше, но я рекомендую добавить какие нибудь мини игры. Вообщем, игра хорошая. Я вам поставлю пять звёзд, чтобы вас не обижать.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Спасибо, что прочитали мой отзыв.

### 5/5 — Tremendo!
