### 5/5 — I love it I love it I love it!

*2026-08-19, version 2.393*

It is the best ocean game I found so far it for real life. This is like the best game on earth and I also recommend you trying other games like Pondlife, Bird BnB, Bird Kind, Flutter, and Flutter, Starlight and Splash like complete it all.

### 5/5 — Another Runaway

*2026-08-18, version 2.393*

I’m new to the world of Runaway Games and to be honest I’m a big console gamer, but I recently got Hatch Dragon after seeing an add I liked on YouTube, and I immediately just fell in love with my tablet.

I started right away to expand the world and collect as many different dragons as possible, I even spent some sleepless nights grinding events for more special dragons. Feeling this was truly a developer worth my time and money I went ahead and got ALL the Runaway games suggested in the Runaway info menu, and because I love the water I tried out the Pond and the sea next.

So far none of these games has disappointed. While I definitely enjoy this game and the pond one, I am absorbed by the Hatch Dragon game. Long story short this is a great game by an awesome developer, one might even say I Ranaway with it. ^.^

### 5/5 — So relaxing

*2026-07-27, version 2.393*

Fun to play, beautiful graphics 👍

### 4/5 — My opinion on this game

*2026-07-01, version 2.393*

I would say this game is a 4/5 I honestly don’t know why it’s just that this game is amazing but the reason why it’s 4/5 is bc it’s kinda to hard to lvl up even with the 2x boost
So like yeah

### 5/5 — Splash is The Best

*2026-06-23, version 2.393*

I get really stressed but this game helped me to resolve feelings like anger, frustration, stress, and sadness. The creators should create more games like this.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-06-09, version 2.393*

Great game. Easy to use. Nice mini challenges and missions as well

### 4/5 — Runaway make good games

*2026-05-31, version 2.393*

I got starlight then pondlife and fell in love with the fun facts of actual creatures. Then i got this app and their bird one aswell. This app is like pondlife but i like this app less. I get confused wether the fish are hungry or not and if i try too much it gives me a pop up to tell me the instructions again. Also i dont like all the talking with the turtle, its too much reading sometimes especially when its every goal you claim rewards for plus the long tutorial, it can be annoying and confusing

### 4/5 — Too broke to feed fish lol

*2026-05-29, version 2.393*

This game is a lot of fun and very visually entertaining. Of course, this is when I have enough money to even feed my fish. I get better decorations but they take longer. I always run out of money and have fish waiting to be fed. That is my only complaint. This always forces me to actually live my life, so I guess it’s a good thing lol

### 5/5 — game won’t fully open

*2026-05-28, version 2.393*

Ive really enjoyed this game and will hopefully continue to play it (if it ever loads) but for the past 2 days, the game opens , the bar on the bottom fully loads to the end but it’s not going any further than the opening screen. i am and have been connected to wifi, there are no pop ups, i’m not doing anything different, and all of my other apps and games work fine - including specifically your other two games, “bunny haven” and “dragon hatch.” please please fix it !! other than that - love your games :)

### 3/5 — Been playing for years

*2026-05-22, version 2.380*

It’s entertaining and fun to learn about different fish, but when you hit the last level over 15 times, and gain tickets you can’t do anything with it becomes frustrating. Needs a new type of even or expand the reef
