Overall, the game's stability is generally good, with most users reporting it as mostly bug-free. However, there are notable exceptions, such as a freezing issue when accessing the skill tree while a sold fish popup is active. While some tutorials are lacking and the initial gameplay experience can be buggy, players still find the game enjoyable and worth playing.

- “For example, opening the skill tree when a sold fish popup is on the screen permanently freezes the sold fish popup there until you close and relaunch the client.”

The grinding aspect of the game appeals to fans of micromanagement and offers several days of gameplay to earn achievements, which some players find worthwhile. However, there are frustrations regarding the complexity of the progression system, particularly in unlocking certain features and the lack of variety in fish patterns and tank designs. Overall, while it caters to grind enthusiasts, it could benefit from clearer guidance and more customization options.
- “If three to six days of grindy gameplay to earn achievements sounds worth the price tag, go for it.”
- “Just wish the tree wasn't so grindy; I had no idea how to unlock certain nodes (especially the goldfish part of the tree at first). It would be nice if your fish could have different patterns and if you could have different tanks/backgrounds.”
