### 4/5 — Very cool game

*2026-06-14, version 1.2.6*

This is a very fun time demolishing game and it fits everything I ever wanted to be in a game not adds no internet needed to play monsters underwater horror I just wish there was combat but still this game is absurdly fun and I love it in every way

### 5/5 — It’s a Favourite👌🏽

*2026-05-26, version 1.2.6*

I’ve played this for years and I’ve yet to tire of the game. It’s beautifully designed, just challenging enough, and offers the player a real sense of therapeutic value in relaxation. The animations are seamless as well as realistic, AND there are whales singing in the depths. I’ve always loved it🖤

### 5/5 — Gud game

*2026-05-23, version 1.2.6*

So I played this game when I was much younger and didn’t know how it worked but coming back and playing it again it’s actually very cool.

### 5/5 — PLZ add these creatures!

*2026-05-17, version 1.2.6*

PLZ add the Big fin squid that can be found in voids. Stoplight loose jaw which will be a rare fish but deadly, hermit crabs that can blend into the environment and kills if you go too close and a type of parasite that poisons you BTW I love the game keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — The game is very old and I played it as a child, downloaded it again today and the feelings were unf

*2026-05-16, version 1.2.6*

Fun and calming game! Like it overall, the graphics and gameplay were nice. Just wish there were more variety of things to find in the abyss, please add more.

Beautiful and relaxing

### 5/5 — This was my first Real game I played. And it help my conect with my brother

*2026-05-12, version 1.2.6*

Sorry if this sounds like one of the troll reviews of like a sad backstory, but I wanted to share how much seashine has helped me anyways: I was around 7-8 (I’m 15 now) when I saw my brother play this game, I remember thinking that this was amazing. and at thst   point my brother wouldn’t let me play any of his console games. But I played this game, we usually took turns. And we played this game ALOT but we were very bad at it. This was one of the ways I connected with him. As we grew older I played it less and less. But around the age of 8-9 my dad got very sick and went to the hospital, sorry if this got to personal. He ended up being there for half a year and needed rehab for the next half. While this was happening me and my brother played this game doing this, and in a lot of ways we used this to cope, kinda. He did survive btw. Anyways as I got older I forgot about this game. About last week my brother graduated college and that day I had a sudden memory of this game. And after searching something a long the lines of “jellyfish spooky mobile game” I found it. And to make this even cooler, I was playing it right before his graduation. And after the graduation ceremony. We sat on the grass and played this game. I’ve been playing it a bit this week and I just wanted to leave this review, I assume you won’t see it but in the small chance you do. I love your game and thank you for making it. (Probably my fav game that you can only play on mobile)

### 5/5 — CREEPY But COOL

*2026-05-01, version 1.2.6*

Very interesting game. I highly recommend playing it. There is a bit of a horror factor added to the game, but other than that is immensely cozy and beautiful.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-04-14, version 1.2.6*

Bro,this game is rather impressive this is just one of those games that will stick with you but one thing PLEASE MAKE A STORY MODE JUST THINK ABOUT IT with all the deep sea monsters you can make a story with the small jelly fish but keep on going dude this is great!

### 5/5 — This is a great game

*2026-04-12, version 1.2.6*

This Game is very fun and immersive the soundtrack makes it feel kind of unsettling since I have thalassophobia and when you play you kind of feel like a crab squid from Subnautica but not the adult one a juvenile tiny juvenile just trying to survive in a world of massive leviathans and when your light feeds it’s gone this game is poetic and amazing I can’t even believe it’s free

### 5/5 — I LOVE SEASHINE

*2026-03-09, version 1.2.6*

Game is so fun

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-03-05, version 1.2.6*

This game is fun and endless with many things to explore and I think all the creatures are great and unique.  This game is really fun if you’re bored and it doesn’t have ads and you can play it with no internet.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-02-26, version 1.2.6*

I love this game I’ve been playing for approximately 3 years now. The graphics are amazing the light, the rocks almost seem real, the fish, the plants, the sound is amazing it makes me feel like I’m inside the game. It’s fun it’s addicting I just love it. Keep up the hard work, devs I love it so much.⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — THE GAME ICON JUMPSCARES MEE

*2024-12-21, version 1.2.4*

WHY!?! THE APP ICON IS A DEEP SEA CREATURE’S FACE!?! MAKE IT A JELLYFISH AND A LIGHT ORB IN THE DARK WATERS! CAN YOU CHANGE IT?

### 1/5 — RSI inducing and boring.

*2019-08-25, version 1.2.3*

Wow. First time I’ve uninstalled a game in the first few minutes of downloading it, but the tedious swiping endlessly to go even tiny distances is actually painful; then finding yourself dead in a dead end several times within minutes, but no way to learn where the dead ends are as the map differs each time, means it’s painful but also frustrating.  Congratulations on being the fastest uninstalled game in my history of iPhones back to the iPhone 2

### 1/5 — Pretty to look at but boring

*2018-12-05, version 1.2.3*

The title says it all...the game’s visuals are pretty and I like the sound track too but the game is boring.  Just swim around and fish come out of the dark and eat you.  I think it’s a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Time limit ruined it!

*2015-09-09, version 1.0.1*

It could have been so good! I was veey relaxed and enjoying it until the addition of the time limit system after the tutorial. The rush ruined it completely.

### 1/5 — WHAT AN AWFUL GAME!

*2015-09-07, version 1.0.1*

TAKE HEED OF THE POOR REVIEWS!

OTHERS HAVE STATED WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GAME, I AM SIMPLY REITERATING IT

### 1/5 — Nice looking, but poor game.

*2015-09-06, version 1.0.1*

This game looks lovely, but no real substance to the game. 
Too easy and nothing really happens.

### 1/5 — Lovely to look at...

*2015-09-06, version 1.0.1*

...but I can't enjoy any gameplay experience as the controls are not very user friendly.  I can't even get passed the first level as you don't get much time once you hit that first star and your movement is awkward to a point that you bump into one thing and you run out of time.  I mean give us a chance to get into the game please...

### 1/5 — Bad

*2015-09-04, version 1.0.1*

I just don't like it so stupid hard

### 2/5 — Ah yes.

*2024-05-11, version 1.2.4*

Because everybody loves being spawn killed. I can’t see no darn skeleton what do you mean 💀 The moment I swam out of my safe spot I was killed by a worm. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW, THE HINTS ARE FAINT OR BARELY VISIBLE! This game is also unnecessarily hard in some areas and the controls are not my favourite. In my opinion, should be ported to console or pc not mobile. And remove the locked paywalls for currency that you can’t find often in this mobile game for console and the pc. Also maybe remove the time limit for light.

### 2/5 — Not a great game

*2018-10-17, version 1.2.2*

The graphics are good but the game is very repetitive

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — A master piece

*2026-08-05, version 1.2.6*

Until now, it is still the best one. I don't know what is the story, but...how should I describe it? The dreadful ocean will always haunt your light. They devours it for something, and there is no way out. I think that it is after man kind is gone, cuz there some boat wrecks, and maybe mutate fishes. It is wrong though, but a master piece it should deserve. I think we need a someone can help us to talk about its story.

### 5/5 — beautful game！

*2026-07-30, version 1.2.6*

### 5/5 — Calming

*2026-06-16, version 1.2.6*

Its pretty calm if you manage to avoid the monsters

### 5/5 — Cool games

*2026-06-15, version 1.2.6*

This game has such a cool concept I really wish more games had more deep underwater themes. The horror elements were also amazing the music and atmosphere really tie it all together, please play this game it’s so good

### 5/5 — Fish

*2026-06-11, version 1.2.6*

This is the best game on mobile, no explanation needed. All of the game is good. The scenery, creatures and horror like theme are incredible. I would highly recommend this game, it is a shining light in a dull abyss of cash grab games. 1000/10

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-06-10, version 1.2.6*

The game is outstanding, I love how it combines a sense of scary, calming, and fun! I love animals and it’s so cool playing this! It’s super well built and its graphics are very good! All the animals have a nice variety and the music is very nice! I highly recommend playing the game!

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-06-08, version 1.2.6*

I love this game I’ve been playing for approximately 4 years now. The graphics are amazing, the light and the rocks almost seem real, the fish, the plants, the sound is amazing it makes me feel like I’m inside the game. It’s fun it’s addicting I just love it. Keep up the hard work, devs I love it so much.⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Great and scary

*2026-05-31, version 1.2.6*

Very scary and I always get lost in the mazes like almost every time I get eaten by a giant shark or a giant anglerfish there is always something to do and discover and always to be scared
