### 1/5 — Froze

*2023-10-31, version 1.0.0*

I got to where I put the lever on the fountain and the whole game froze. I’ve tried restarting several times and it keeps freezing at that part. Never a good idea to sell such a glitchy game. Now I can’t finish the game. I want my money back!

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2023-01-08, version 1.0.0*

I love it

### 1/5 — Unplayable and I’m done with FISH!

*2021-11-08, version 1.0.0*

Unless you are going to play this game from beginning to end all in one Setting then you’ll never get anywhere because this game goes back to the very beginning each and every time you open it!  The creators have no intentions of fixing this game.  Since Fish was bought out they could care less if you buy a game and it doesn’t work! I’m done with FISH!

### 5/5 — Okay game to play

*2021-01-03, version 1.0.0*

My only complaint is that the map is useless

### 4/5 — What the heck???

*2020-11-25, version 1.0.0*

I was at the part where I was going to help Jane to get to the tower then suddenly there was this flash and now I’m back at the beginning of the game. Again what the heck??

### 1/5 — Having Issues

*2020-11-18, version 1.0.0*

Playing this game on an iPad, the game continues to start from the beginning. It doesn’t save any gameplay.

### 4/5 — SURFACE: REEL LIFE

*2020-11-16, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed the game.  Had 3 problems.  2 of the problems happened where I finished doing something and then the game would shut down.  I was able to go back in after making sure game was restarted and was able to keep playing.  1 (The worst) was I did something out of order and I had to restart the entire game.  I was lucky because I felt I was still close enough to the beginning that I didn’t mind restarting the entire game one time.

### 5/5 — A great game

*2020-11-14, version 1.0.0*

Perhaps the devs fixed the bugs because I had no issues at all. I like the story line, graphics are great and nice and colourful, HOPs have a nice little twist. Overall well worth the sale price of £2.99.

### 1/5 — Won’t stop resetting. 😡😡😡

*2020-11-13, version 1.0.0*

I’ve attempted to play this game 4 times now but every time I turn it off and go back to it it resets back to the beginning, Very disappointed. Just glad I only paid £2.99 for it. Waste of blooming Time.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2020-11-12, version 1.0.0*

Bugs, not letting me pick up some object ugh!
