  • monetization
    828 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of forced ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over the necessity to watch ads to progress, with some stating that the only way to remove ads is through a costly subscription model, which they find unreasonable. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the frequency and intrusiveness of ads have led to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience, with many users suggesting a one-time purchase option to remove ads instead.

    • “I would buy a one-time no ads pack in a heartbeat.”
    • “The game itself is quite enjoyable, and if it had no ads, I would still be playing it.”
    • “There are optional ads and in-app purchases, which should be enough.”
    • “You end up having to watch ads or spend money just for a tiny little bit of progress.”
    • “The game itself is quite fun, but to remove ads you have to pay a huge amount of money, and it's in the form of monthly or yearly fees.”
    • “You will be unable to progress in this game without watching ads, unless you want to fork out nearly 10 bucks.”
  • stability
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing and glitches reported by users, particularly after extended playtime or during ad interactions. Many players experience crashes that result in lost progress, and the overall performance is described as unpolished and frustrating. Despite its enjoyable gameplay, the persistent bugs have led to low ratings and dissatisfaction among users.

    • “Well, I liked the game to begin with as it's an easy game to play, but the more you play, the more buggy it gets.”
    • “After about 15 minutes of playing, the game starts freezing a lot and it also freezes the phone, not just the game.”
    • “Game freezes too often; I really want to continue my experience in the game, but it makes it very difficult whenever the game freezes my phone upon trying to upgrade more than once.”
  • gameplay
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, featuring new mechanics and a solid gameplay loop, but it is significantly hampered by frequent and disruptive ads that interrupt the experience. While some players appreciate the variety and smoothness of the gameplay, many express frustration over slow progression and the impact of ads on their enjoyment. Overall, the game has potential but suffers from balance issues and excessive monetization tactics.

    • “If it was purely based on the gameplay, I'd give it five stars, super fun.”
    • “Great gameplay loop.”
    • “Very fun, unique gameplay.”
    • “Extremely slow gameplay.”
    • “Ads that disrupt gameplay are the worst and simply make the game into a turd because it breaks the fundamental elements of what makes a good game.”
    • “Horrendous graphics, glitching gameplay, very bad gameplay balance, very expensive microtransaction shop, pointless subscription option, and millions of annoying ads.”
  • grinding
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight that the game features a significant amount of grinding, particularly after reaching level 6, which many players find tedious and frustrating. While some appreciate the long-term engagement it offers, others criticize the slow progression and the need for in-game purchases to advance more quickly. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a major hurdle that detracts from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “You spend days on end grinding and weakening the whale boss to find out that once you defeat it, your progress resets. I spent money to progress faster because it's ridiculous how slow the grind is just to find out you lose it, and nowhere in the game does it tell you that.”
    • “Very grindy game, no offline gain at all despite being an 'idle' game. You have fishing boats whose income is so much lower than one fish. I'm level 8 and I like putting the game on idle when I'm on my Xbox, but honestly, the experience grind is the most annoying. It took me 2 weeks to grind from level 8 to 9, and I put money into the game getting my gem upgrades for fishing power resources and experience up to where all are 5/10, and still, it's kind of annoying how little it actually helped.”
    • “I'm lowering my review because it's taken forever for new content to be introduced. I've been waiting for something to continue grinding for and see new areas, but it has been months of waiting, and there hasn't been any air of new content on the daily. I was at the second to last area of the ice world, but now... with nothing worth grinding for, it got pretty boring and stale. I might come back to this game in a few years to see if anything is new, but for now, I'm leaving this game.”
  • story
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game has been criticized for its repetitive and uninspired quest design, with many players noting that quests often feel identical and are merely variations of the same tasks. Progression is hindered by a reliance on real money for key quests, leading to frustration over locked content and slow advancement. Overall, while the game may provide some casual enjoyment, the lack of originality and depth in the story and quest structure detracts from the experience.

    • “Not a bad game to pass the time; however, I'm still waiting for an update for the submarine I completed quests for well over a month ago.”
    • “Hoping that future upgrades will allow players to tap quests and actually select available quests to locate their origin.”
    • “Fun, but a lot of quests can only be completed with gems.”
    • “The map is nearly identical, the upgrade menus are identical, and almost all the quest locations and quests are the same, just worded differently to make it go with the fishing style of the game.”
    • “It's not a strategy game; it's just move your ship to one location, catch fish, and return to base, rinse and repeat with little quests around the map.”
    • “Main quest progress is locked behind real money currency - avoid.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the clean and smooth 3D visuals, while others criticize them as horrendous and inconsistent with promotional screenshots. Many users note that the graphics are similar to the developer's previous titles, leading to frustration over the lack of innovation. Overall, the visual quality seems to vary significantly, impacting players' enjoyment of the game.

    • “Smooth gameplay, fun graphics, and if you like the alien version they made, this one is basically just like it, but with fishing.”
    • “Clean, smooth 3D graphics.”
    • “Good chilled game, nice graphics. Thanks ”
    • “Horrendous graphics, glitching gameplay, very bad gameplay balance, very expensive microtransaction shop, pointless subscription option, and millions of annoying ads.”

    • “Terrible graphics, lots of ads.”
  • music
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback from users, with many noting its repetitive nature and suggesting the addition of separate options to mute music while keeping sound effects. While some players find the soundtrack calming and enjoyable, others feel it becomes annoying after extended playtime. Overall, the music contributes to the game's atmosphere but could benefit from more variety and customization options.

    • “At first I thought this game was going to be very boring and slow-paced, but they've somehow made it extremely fun and enjoyable. The soundtrack gets a little annoying after hearing it loop for 30 minutes, but aside from that, it's a great little game and a decent time waster.”
    • “It's fun and the music is calming. Sometimes the music can be annoying for me, but it's enjoyable because you need to level up to get new fish and upgrade to catch them faster.”
    • “I love the music!”
    • “Fix the fact that you just recorded a lullaby music box for a baby and repeat it every 8 seconds.”
    • “Be better if music wasn't so repetitive.”
    • “At first I thought this game was going to be very boring and slow-paced, but they've somehow made it extremely fun and enjoyable, though the soundtrack gets a little annoying after hearing it loop for 30 minutes.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with many users finding it funny and entertaining. However, some players feel that the humor can become repetitive over time, and there are mixed feelings about the monetization aspects, particularly regarding ads and pay-to-win elements. Overall, while the game has its comedic moments, its humor may not sustain long-term engagement for all players.

    • “Really funny game.”
    • “Funny game.”
    • “Pretty funny.”
    • “The humor falls flat and feels forced.”

  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has received criticism for its poor optimization, causing excessive heating and battery drain on devices, even those that are relatively new. Users report significant lag and stuttering, with no available performance settings to alleviate these issues, making it difficult to enjoy the gameplay experience.

    • “It's a great game, but it needs optimization because my cell phone gets really hot in just a few minutes, and I really enjoy this game.”
    • “Might be an okay idle game if it didn't lag so badly, but it stutters even on a decent device and has no performance settings to try and adjust the problem.”
    • “Might be an okay idle game if it didn't lag so badly, but it stutters even on a decent device and has no performance setting to try and adjust the problem.”
    • “Great game, like the mechanics, but the game is very poorly optimized. It drains my 5260mAh battery very fast and heats the phone. I play Brawl Stars, PUBG, League of Legends, and none of them heat the phone this much.”
    • “This game is not optimized for phones that are 2 years old.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration and anger over technical issues in the game, particularly with bugs that disrupt gameplay and lead to emotional distress. The strong language and sentiments indicate a deep disappointment with the game's mechanics, overshadowing any potential enjoyment.
