### 3/5 — Schön

*2024-11-19*

Schönes Spiel. Was mir aus Zen Koi 2 fehlt ist die Gestaltung eines eigenen Teiches. Das finde ich schade und ich bin nicht sicher für was man diese roten drachenpunkte benötigt, die man bekommen wenn der Koi aufsteigt

**Developer response:** Hallo, derzeit ist „Mein Teich“ nur eine Funktion von Zen Koi 2. Die Drachenpunkte zählen als Bestenliste in Zen Koi Pro, aber ich werde Ihr Feedback an das Team weiterleiten.

### 3/5 — Zen?

*2024-09-14*

Ok……pretty nice game but Zen? How about letting us chose a truly Zen mode without torture plants and torture bugs? This is supposed to be relaxing, not frustrating.

What I mean by this, as the developer questioned me about it, is not  plants and bugs being tortured, but plants and bugs are torturing the fish that we are taking care of. When my fish, not on purpose, has to swim through those red plants and red puffer bugs depending on which version of game I am playing, the whole screen around the outside turns red  it is not a positive experience. What is the point of causing stress in a Zen game? Isn’t life stressful enough?

**Developer response:** Hello and thanks for the feedback. Can you please elaborate on what you mean by torturing plants and or bugs? We want Zen Koi to be a relaxing experience for all of our players.

### 4/5 — Zen Koi Pro Is Great!

*2024-07-31*

I love this version of zen koi. No ads, and a quicker game as well. I enjoy the lovely shiny colors of the rare fish. I appreciate the greater simplicity of this version as well. My only complaint is it is extremely difficult to close out the last few rare fish of each breed. I thought the new addition to the game where they give you fish to help you get the remaining ones would help. But I have played the same origin fish you send me twenty times without getting the fish I need. This gets boring and makes the game less fun. Please fix the algorithm so it is easier to finish our rare breeds. I love this game  and thank you for your creative efforts.

**Developer response:** Hello and thanks for your feedback. I will pass it onto the team.

### 4/5 — Missing features from Zen Koi 2

*2023-11-21*

I understand that this is a remaster of the first game. But for ten pound I expected playable dragons, a pond minigame and possibly even more exclusive stuff to do. This game feels pretty empty compared to its free counterpart.

I’d love it if the team behind this would work on implementing features from the second game.

**Developer response:** Hello thank you for your kind feedback and thank you for your support! 🐟 🐟 🐟 Thank you for writing in, we will add your suggestion to our list of player requested features.

### 4/5 — Really good but…

*2023-07-22*

I loved zen koi 2 so much I bought zen koi pro. But I really am disappointed that U can’t collect dragon essence and built ur own pond with it… also I Miss the egg System a bit… Maybe the pond feature will be added too? Now I have the spaces to collect but it feels half of the game went missing..

### 5/5 — Zen koi pro

*2023-07-02, version 1.2.0*

I think that zen koi is fun so any cool designs and cool dragoon I have payed zen koi 1 zen koi 2  and now zen koi pro I think  zen koi anything the fish are so koi I love the dragons and love the koi

### 5/5 — コツコツ一人でやりやすい

*2023-05-11*

鯉を育てる時間の短縮や、龍になるまでの動画のスキップ等、格段に育てやすくなりました！入院することが多いので、オフラインでできるのも個人的に嬉しいです。

要望ですが、鯉がたくさん産まれる関係で整理が大変です。まとめて放流や、並び替えやフィルター機能、一度龍になった柄を一括放流などができると嬉しいです。

### 4/5 — Collector koi

*2023-01-06, version 1.2.0*

I love playing ZK2 mostly because they have collector koi, while I love this game it does get a little bland without them although some people say it’s “a dissapointment” it isn’t, it’s just bland other than that it would be a 5 star

### 3/5 — It’s OK I guess

*2022-12-26, version 1.2.0*

Honestly I’ve been playing 1 & 2 for years and I feel that they are much better games than this paid one.

### 4/5 — Play the other 2 as well

*2022-09-04*

I see good and bad in this. PRO: no waiting for eggs to hatch, which can really slow down the other two games. CON: with the 50 slots you can end up raising duplicates since it doesn’t inform you. Also I miss my pearls and exotic koi. 

That being said, so far the koi follow the first game but more pearlescent.  The bugs are following the second game. Also, only 6 ponds before your koi becomes a dragon rather than the 8 of the other 2 games.

### 5/5 — I really like the game

*2022-07-09*

This game is so fun but  they don’t have the pond from zk2 I heard the developers response but I’d enjoy it much more I like the less restrictions but I’d also like if y’all added the constellation and the collectors koi and if you could breed your own koi

### 5/5 — I’ve been playing Zen Koi when it started in 2015 ,

*2022-06-26*

I’ve completed Zen 1 and I’m playing Zen 2 still enjoying it

### 4/5 — レアな鯉を探すゲーム

*2022-06-19*

まったりな収集系なので単調ですが個人的には何も考えずに遊べて楽しいです。ただ、勝手にiCloudに保存されたバックアップデータを消せるようにしたいです。やり直す度に保存されてずっと不要なデータが残るのが気になるので。

**Developer response:** やあ！ ゲームの収集パターンは同じで、休憩したい場合はいつでもゲームの中断したところから続行できます。

### 3/5 — Improvements

*2022-06-07*

Love the game but there’s a few improvements that need doing, would love it if you brought back the preview of what fish you get from breeding would make it easier to see if you needed the fish or not, 
Pearls for purchasing fish you don’t have

### 4/5 — Great game would love multiplayer

*2022-05-14*

My friend and I played zen koi 2 together and loved the gifting and multiplayer features. We bought this together thinking the same would apply but sadly there is no multiplayer features. Would love to see it added!

**Developer response:** Hi there! We're glad you've enjoyed playing Zen Koi 2 and are playing Zen Koi Pro as well. You can still play both games alongside each other - ZK2 has the community and trading aspect, while ZKP focuses on solo collecting with many new patterns :) We encourage you to view them as games offering different experiences, ZK2 will still be supported alongside ZKP.

### 1/5 — イベントが無い

*2023-04-02*

卵はすぐに孵るし、クエストも真珠も無いのでつまらない。お金を払ってPROで遊ぶ価値が感じられない。

**Developer response:** こんにちは。チャレンジと目標のメニューが改善された新しいアップデートをぜひチェックしてください。Zen Koi Pro が Apple Arcade に登場しました。さらにクールなコンテンツが今後登場する予定です。Zen Koi Pro をプレイし続けてください。近い将来、その価値があると感じられるようになるでしょう。ご協力ありがとうございます。

### 1/5 — Not worth full price nor sale.

*2023-01-08, version 1.2.0*

Missing koi from 1 & 2 your better off with pocket frogs!
Pocket frogs is free with THOUSANDS of patterns and colors and styles this u get 16 of each set & there's only 4 sets yup 4 ..
Lame ..
Waste of money boring..
Knock off pocket frogs attempt maybe.
10 is not even worth it!
1$ is worth the price given they give u little to no gameplay.

### 1/5 — 値段に見合わない内容

*2022-04-11*

高かったが思い切って購入。
放置ゲーかと思ったが、自分でタップしてエサとなる虫を追いかけてたべるのをひたすら繰り返すだけのゲーム。
正直単調すぎて1回で飽きてしまった。
ただでさえ虫を追いかけるのが面倒なのに、終盤では移動速度を遅くしてくるエサが出てきてストレスがたまった。
買わない方がいいです。

**Developer response:** こんにちは。レベルアップすると、鯉のスピードや敏捷性などのステータスが上がり、より素早く動けるようになります。また、泳ぎながら花の中にブーストアイテムを見つけると、鯉の移動速度が一気に上がります。このゲームは、ストレス解消と、よりシンプルなゲームプレイに集中することで、瞑想的な体験を提供することを目的としています。

### 1/5 — Not saving progress

*2022-03-08*

App is not saving amy of my progress. So any recent data, levelling up and dragons are all lost.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Zen Koi Pro on Apple devices saves progress through iCloud. To ensure that your game data is saved, please connect your game to your iCloud account. To restore progress: Log in with the same Apple ID in the iOS device settings – your progress will be automatically detected and you will be given the option to restore it. If not, simply tap the Restore button found in Settings. The server will then pull up the progress you have linked before, and you can choose which one to restore.

### 1/5 — BORING !!!!!

*2022-02-27, version 1.0.16*

No way to aspire to anything - no way to outreach and trade - a very dumbed down version. You all gotta fix this. Got a response from the developer. They just don’t get it.  On the other hand an adult coloring book based on your fish would sell well on Amazon.

### 2/5 — Welll…..

*2024-07-03*

I have loved Zen Koi one and two, so I bought this… twice, once for myself and once for my sister.  I’m kind of disappointed. The goals are great and stuff, but without the ability to decorate up pond and earn a few decorations it feels kind of like I got half of an app. I know that wasn’t your intention lol,  but perhaps a pond and the ability to awaken dragons to earn points in this game as well would be a good thing, especially if you allowed things like like the stones for changing the color in the pond.  Do you know additional downloads for seasonal things wouldn’t be a bad idea either just keep them very peaceful. Halloween can be peaceful, even though would think that it can’t be.  Some ideas for you to consider.  Up to you…. but just remember your fan base equals money.🙃

**Developer response:** Hello, and thanks for the feedback. Zen Koi Pro/Pro+ is all about single-player offline gaming for a premium relaxing experience. In the latest update we have a new menu with challenges and goals. We hope you'll be able to give us some feedback to improve. We have plans for more events and updates with new exciting koi patterns. Do note that the pond decorating is a feature in Zen Koi 2.

### 2/5 — Not as good

*2022-12-28*

I love Zen Koi 2. Love the different fish, the pearls, and the friends. This game has none of that. Why couldn’t the developers find a way to make Zen Koi 2 playable without service?  I think this is just a money grab so the dev can say they gave people what they wanted ( an offline game).  When people wanted Zen Koi 2 to be playable offline.

### 2/5 — To What Point?

*2022-08-02*

While I love the ability to instantly hatch my eggs and having so many egg slots, this version of Zen Koi really takes away features. I personally could care less about the social aspect, but the lack of events or season koi really feels unjustified. This is supposed to be the pro version of zen koi, so why does it feel like it has less than the free-to-play versions? I love collecting things, but I would also like to feel rewarded for it. The lack of anything to do with your dragon points really makes the dragon points worthless. Honestly, it feels like they would’ve been better off making the original games have an offline option (you don’t really need internet to swim, breed, and ascend). They could’ve even done a premium option for hatch times and the slots and even the new shiny/metallic koi. This version of the games really feels like a hit and a miss, because ultimately it does not feel like a pro version at all.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your thoughtful review, and apologies for the very late reply.

As Zen Koi is ultimately designed to be a quiet and calm game we felt that the definition lands itself in omitting the online components of it which involves social gifting, live ops events, etc. Your points are valid and valued that why we would love to hear more about how you feel we can make the pro version of Zen Koi better. 

Do join us on Discord https://discord.gg/8JRayMFZ or email us at support@landsharkgames.com we would love to hear from you more.

Thank you for your support, and we hope you’ve still found moments of calm with the game.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2022-03-02*

It’s pretty, but I can’t even finish one koi in this. Fish come by to mate far too often and apparently the queue is infinite. I also miss all the things they removed. No daily objectives. No eggs. No pond. No shop. I hope they’ll add things back. Not worth it just for the ability to play offline.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. Note that Koi mates can be driven off the same way as in ZK1/2 by bumping noses with them. Zen Koi Pro is also based off the original Zen Koi game, and is more streamlined so players can focus on collecting. There are no eggs as Koi can now instantly hatch :) We hope that you'll still enjoy the collecting aspect of the game.

### 2/5 — Have to start over

*2022-02-26, version 1.0.16*

Having to start my collections from scratch is annoying. I had hoped my collection from ZK2 would be available so I could continue working on it.

### 5/5 — All of the fun, none of the micro

*2026-08-05*

I’ve always been someone who prefers paying upfront for games rather than having them be free to play with micro-transactions. As someone who absolutely adored the original, I was so happy that they added a new version that can be played anywhere, anytime. Seems that I’ve missed quite a bit since the original Zen Koi came out! Can’t wait to play through the rest.

**Developer response:** Hello! It's fantastic to hear that you're enjoying the pro version! We're thrilled that you can play anytime and relive the joy of the original. Happy swimming as you explore all the exciting content ahead!

### 5/5 — Finalmente

*2025-02-27*

Eu jogo Zen Koi desde quando lançou, e sempre tive a sensação de que era um jogo que fazia mais sentido offline. Eu pedi varias vezes para que tornassem o jogo offline, e finalmente fizeram. Cobraram por isso, mas como eu pedi muito pra ter o zen koi offline, é justo que eu pague pra ter o que eu sempre quis depois de muitos anos jogando gratuitamente. Reclamação: não ter como continuar a partir das coleções já completadas dos Zen Koi 1 e 2; e não ter disponível todos os padrões de peixe que existem no primeiro e segundo jogo. Vi reclamações sobre a ausência de um aquário pessoal customizável como há em Zen Koi 2, e sobre a ausência de trocas de peixes entre amigos, mas eu não sinto falta destes recursos. A única coisa que eu sempre quis mesmo foi poder jogar Zen Koi a qualquer momento, como no metrô e sem ser interrompido por falta de conexão com internet. E finalmente, aqui está. Obrigada às desenvolvedoras!

**Developer response:** Olá e obrigado pelo feedback. Como o Zen Koi Pro funciona como um jogo próprio, ele tem seus próprios padrões para coletar. Esperamos buscar sua compreensão nisso.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-09-16*

This is one of the best games I have ever played! I love zen koi one and two and now pro! The new update DOES delete the thrill when you find a new koi pattern and get the new pattern BUT it tells you how to complete a collection! ALTHOUGH you can’t get pearls. I feel like pearls made the game interesting and I also feel like 50 slots isn’t enough! If you have time please at least add my second suggestion. No pressure! You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.

**Developer response:** Hello and thanks for the feedback, we're glad you're enjoying the new update! The 50 slots were picked so players felt encouraged to ascend some of them koi without it being to overwhelming. We do recommend ascending some to free up some slots.

### 5/5 — :)

*2024-07-09*

Last update fixed the loading issues. Awesome swift fix! Great zen game.

**Developer response:** Hello you can no longer get the game to open? Feel free to message us at support@landsharkgames.com with as much information as possible and we will investigate this for you.

### 5/5 — Cute

*2024-07-01, version 1.2.0*

I like this game it’s relaxing :)

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2024-02-05*

I have been playing both games for a few years and pro for a month or two. My only issue is that once the Koi become dragons, that’s it…. I’d love to have something added to this beautiful game with the dragons!!!😍

**Developer response:** Hello and thanks for your kind feedback. Thank you for writing in, we will add your suggestions to our list of player requested features.

### 5/5 — Brilliant game

*2023-12-03*

Brilliant game very peaceful and fun and pleasing, good because I don’t need to be online. Wish they could make koi zen 2 pro also as I would buy this as well

**Developer response:** Hello thank you for your kind feedback and thank you for your support! 🐟 🐟 🐟 Thank you for writing in, we will add your suggestion to our list of player requested features.

### 5/5 — My fav but

*2023-10-27*

Of the 3 games this I like the most but I miss finding pearls. Maybe use pearls to get a koi needed to complete a collection.

**Developer response:** Hello thank you for your kind feedback and thank you for your support! 🐟 🐟 🐟

### 5/5 — Perfection!

*2023-10-26*

I wish more companies would release versions of their games where there are no micro-transactions. All over it’s a very relaxing game, made even more relaxing by not having micro transactions.

**Developer response:** Hello thank you for your kind feedback and thank you for your support! 🐟 🐟 🐟
We're so glad you're enjoying the game.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-07-19*
