  • There is very little actual gameplay or interaction, making it feel more like an idle experience or screensaver.
  • Repetitive tasks and lack of meaningful content lead to boredom and limited replay value.

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The gameplay is largely passive and minimal, resembling an idle experience with little challenge or interaction. While some find it simple and relaxing, many note the lack of meaningful activities or depth, resulting in limited long-term engagement.

    • “The gameplay is simple but addictive — a great way to chill after a long day.”
    • “Enjoyable gameplay: yes, for awhile at least, but there is not much to do.”
    • “Very slow and passive gameplay, plus the game lags.”
    • “Difficulty of gameplay: non-existent, pretty much an idle game besides swimming between schools.”
    • “There's no actual gameplay.”

  • music

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game's music features ambient tracks that create a relaxing atmosphere while hinting at underlying danger, enhancing the overall mood. However, controversy surrounds the soundtrack's release, as the developers promised a $20,000 prize funded by soundtrack sales, a promise that was never fulfilled.

    • “Soundtrack: ambient music that lends to the relaxation and foreshadows danger.”
    • “Take the game as atmospheric underwater live wallpaper with cool music.”
    • “Soundtrack: ambient music that lends to the relaxation.”
    • “Free game released with the intent of "tricking" people into purchasing the OST to give away a large sum of money to a "winner".”
    • “The developers promised a $20,000 prize for the game which they never delivered, apparently based on a fictional expectation they would make $20,000 from the asset-flipped $1 soundtrack for this garbage.”
    • “Seemingly not many bought the soundtrack to show some appreciation, so the $20,000 prize money never materialized, and the devs did the sensible thing and wandered away to hopefully greener pastures.”

  • optimization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, including occasional lag and crashes, with no available settings to improve performance. Despite these issues, players find the gameplay enjoyable and hope future updates will enhance stability and overall optimization.

    • “Overall, I definitely recommend this game — hopefully future updates will improve the performance, but it’s already a good time!”
    • “Seems like an interesting game but it could be better optimized.”
    • “There are some small performance issues, like occasional lag and a crash when I tried to save and exit, but luckily my score was saved.”
    • “This game has no options you can change, so it's stuck in being an optimized mess, showing the position of every player who started this game and where they quit.”
    • “Poor optimization.”

  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game is highly unstable, frequently crashing and freezing within minutes, making it largely unplayable. Users report persistent glitches and performance issues regardless of their high-end hardware, severely impacting the overall experience.

    • “Totally unplayable after a couple of minutes; it just freezes and crashes. Restart and it's just rinse and repeat. Cannot be my computer because I am using a 12 core Ryzen 3900X, 1070ti, and 32GB DDR4, so it seems to be the game itself. It's extremely glitchy.”
    • “Buggy game, crashes every 10 minutes or less, messes up other windows, and you cannot resize the window.”
    • “Glitches: crashes often and randomly (examples for me: 40m, 70m, 136m, 140m, 240m). No idea how some people on the leaderboard are getting to 1k-7k meters in depth, as I played for over an hour and didn't get past 300 meters once.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The graphics are basic yet relaxing, featuring pleasant art style with good visuals such as light reflection and glare. Details become clearer when viewing fish up close, contributing to an overall calming aesthetic.

    • “Art style: basic but relaxing, have to be relatively close to fish for their full detail to appear, but art style is relaxing and has great visuals, light reflection, glare, etc”
    • “Art style: basic but relaxing, have to be relatively close to fish for their full detail to appear, but art style is relaxing and has great visuals, light reflection, glare, etc”
    • “Art style: basic but relaxing, have to be relatively close to fish for their full detail to appear, but art style is relaxing and has great visuals, light reflection, glare, etc”
    • “Art style is basic and requires being very close to the fish for full detail to appear, which can be disappointing.”
    • “Graphics are only decent and lack polish compared to other games in the genre.”
    • “The art style is simple and doesn't offer much visual variety, making it feel bland over time.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game has little to no story, focusing instead on gameplay elements like navigating underwater and avoiding obstacles.

    • “None to speak of.”
    • “None... just sink through the ocean navigating between fish and dodging surprises.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find humor in unexpected glitches tied to their in-game achievements, such as the screen going black when reaching first place, creating an ironic and amusing frustration despite gameplay issues.
