The music in the game is generally described as relaxing and enjoyable, with a decent variety of tracks and sound effects that enhance the experience.

- “There are awesome relaxing soundtracks and a solid variety of white noise sounds (you can play unlimited sound effects at the same time and adjust the volume for each of them).”
- “Genuinely a very chill & relaxing game to play with nice music & decent visuals.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game both addictive and frustrating. While many enjoy the process of collecting fish and appreciate the convenience of letting the game run in the background, they also note that the grind can feel excessive, with slow progression and minimal rewards for the time invested. The need for extensive farming to upgrade and grow fish leads to a cycle of increased grinding without significant benefits, making the experience feel tedious over time.
- “It's extremely grindy; expensive fish will pay you back with more money, but you need to grow the fish to sell them, and they do not return enough points to upgrade the experience gain items.”
- “You're repaid with money that is mostly useless because buying more expensive fish just makes them take way more time to grow, which means significantly more grinding.”
- “In my 200+ hours of grinding, I can only generate 7 times the amount of experience as I could at the start of the game, and it would still require an hour of constant experience farming just to get a level 3 or higher fish to grow, and again, it rewards you little aside from money, which is not an issue at all.”
