### 5/5 — 癒されます

*2026-01-30*

落ち込んだり病んだりして、何も考えたくない時にぼーっと金魚たちを眺めています。
適度な水の音もすごく癒されておすすめです。BGMなどもないのがとてもよいです。

### 5/5 — 加个喂食功能吧，求求了

*2025-11-07*

别说这个还真的很不错，仔细看那个金鱼还有影子，轻轻晃动屏幕还会出现相符的水波纹，声音也很解压，爱了爱了😍不过要是加个喂食的就更好了（记得有谁说过，赞同一下），而且是免费的，真的太好了，金鱼和那个枫叶做的也很细致，有一个要12块的那个金鱼池，要是充12还能得到更多金鱼和背景真的太值了，但是我现在还没充。要是加了喂食的我就再来一个好评，谢谢。
