No ads endless fun
Sat Dec 11 2021 Akrose7879I don't normally go out of my way to post reviews on apps. I kept seeing this ad playing other games. I've been looking for simple games to play instead of being on social media. And something to play if I ever have no service. I didn't think I'd really like this game. Most I tried I delete within the same day. I've played this for a good hour plus already. I love the fish and how they interact with you and each other. This game is really fun. The part where it shows you solving puzzles to help the fish escape those are in the mini games. I like how playing = buying stuff to improve the fishes happiness and earn more interactive scenes from them. You can also name the fish. I have not ran into a single ad at all. I'm sure many can relate to finding a fun game but having an ad like every five minutes or less. I find it easier to spend more time in games without ad interruptions. This is a very cute and fun game. I'm excited to see more of the fish interactions they all have their own personality. It's easy but not too easy to level up. This is a smooth good time consuming game without any of the stress you might experience in others. Highly recommend to those who just want to pass time. You get to decorate, buy more fish (characters) and play interesting mini games on top of something like candy crush. I like the explosives it offers, some are really huge and really helpful.
Engaging, balanced, charming
Sun Jul 17 2022 qwerty>^•^<Love the no ads. Love the option to play solo or on teams. Love the free daily bonus and the free stuff you accumulate through the events. Love the fact that you fill your aquarium with actual fish and plants from the real world (sort of educational that way). Love the little side story events, they’re totally kitschy but it’s cute. Your aquarium fish will have silly conversations with one another and shower you with compliments, it’s exceedingly campy but can also be amusing. The art direction is well done, visually it’s cheerful and lush. The game movement mechanisms and splashy interactions are satisfying. Most importantly, the game play mechanics are well balanced. Some levels pretty easy while others are kind of hard. As you move up in levels new elements are introduced to spice it up. Only frustration is that occasionally there will be an exceptionally difficult level that, in order to pass it, it requires a ton of resources thrown at it (eg boosters, lives, diamonds) along with a good dose of luck in how the sorting algorithm shakes out. When that happens it is incredibly frustrating. Overall, however, it is excellent game design for low key diversion. 🤙
ProTips: If your team is inactive or unsupportive, quit find another with a high weekly help count. If you don’t like the layout of swipe-ables at the beginning of a game, “X” out and start it again to refresh the sort.
WARNING! Please Read!
Tue Aug 22 2023 WaterWolf7So, I’ve been playing Fishdom for a while, and I think it’s a great game! Puzzles, challenges, and you even get to keep your own fish in an aquarium! But this is when I started getting annoyed, so there is this challenge, where you get one try on three different puzzles, and they were really hard and only one out of 10 people got it right! Well, I got one of the puzzles right, and got a bunch of different rewards, like fire crackers, time bombs, regular bombs, and infinity life for two hours! And then after I beat the level they gave me a choice, and there were two buttons, and it said quit and claim reward, or continue playing. And, I decided, since I didn’t want to push my luck, to press quit and claim reward, But then it gave me a little note, and it read, are you sure you want to quit? You won’t get a chance to earn more rewards! And so, I decided to press continue playing to get more rewards, and then guess what? I lost the puzzle, and didn’t get any rewards! They took them all away! So in the end I didn’t get any rewards at all! But otherwise great game! I just Think that even though I lost the second puzzle, but one of the first puzzle I should still get the rewards that I got from the first puzzle! That’s why I’m angry! I’m still keeping the game because it’s because Fishdom is a great game! I just think they should make some changes but otherwise great game just a couple tweaks need to be fixed…
We love this game
Fri Nov 20 2020 come find me, DD team!Me and my husband play every night, for years! I see a lot of people kinda stuck on tanks, so I’m a nice person and figured I’d leave some valuable information. First of all, you only need to put in just enough coins for 3 stars per tank! After you get the 3 stars, go to next tank, and so on. Also, I purchase all the fish that my tank will hold before decorating simply bc you feed them fish daily and get coins. Then I save my coins and purchase the highest decoration available. You can also go back in the decorations and use any decoration that’s unlocked. This is helpful in purchasing the most expensive decoration so your tank isn’t so cluddered with meaningless junk. Additionally you can pile any amount of the same expensive decoration together so it’s not cluddered as well.
As far as money, you don’t have to spend to pass levels. I have over 100 of each booster, and I use my diamonds for the hammers, gloves, and torpedos. You can purchase diamonds tho. Look at it like this, don’t you purchase things in everyday life to make you happy? This is no different. It’s a choice. However, be warned! If you purchase diamonds, the ads that you get will become non existent for quite some time. If you do not purchase diamonds, you should receive your 3 ads every few hours daily.
I really hope this honest review helps.
Constant need to free up space on my iPhone made me delete this game.
Mon Mar 28 2022 RojerByzFirst of all, I must admit that this a fun little game, it’s quite addicting too, I used to play it all the time (well when the game allowed me too and that’s not about the limited lives count, I’ll explain below)
This game constantly pushes new downloadable content and asks you to free up space on your phone if you’re running low, that would’ve been okay if it happened once a while or gave the option to play now and download the content later but no, this happens every other day and you can’t play until you delete something from your phone to get more space and after a few times I no longer have stuff to delete which means I could no longer play the game so I had to delete it altogether....and what makes the insult worse is that technically you don’t have to download that “new” content, you can still play the game as is and I proved that by running a test; I freed some space on my iPhone and then I turned off the internet and opened the game, to my surprise the game didn’t tell me I needed a connection to download that content and the message to free up space disappeared of course which means technically I should be able to continue playing the game without having to free up space or download content....so obviously this is an artificial limit set by the devs of this game and it’s a sad one that got me to delete this otherwise fun game.
I won’t be playing this again until this issue is solved.
I loved this game, but it is losing my interest
Sat Nov 28 2020 MJ3CATSI thought this was a great game, but the farther I get in the levels, the less I get to play. It is so hard to win with it taking days sometimes to get through a level now that I am at Level 393. There is no control of where to put the bonus pieces you earn, they just get dropped into spots where you had a great move you could have made. It is hard to earn bonuses. I move a piece to do one thing, and it does something I didn’t ask it to do. I have not paid for anything yet, so that is probably why it doesn’t want me to win much. The worst part is after you get to play a few times, when you lose, it kicks you out of the game not allowing you to play for sometimes as long as 30 minutes!!! You also can earn 30 minutes of a help, like the bombs, then three minutes later, you get timed out for 30 minutes since you lost a half dozen times. You can’t choose when to use an hour you may have earned so if it is late in the night, you just lose the time. I have never played a game that was so sparse on rewards. The other thing is I like being on a team, but I am pretty useless when I can’t win a level during the days the competition is taking place. I guess if this game wants me to play other games more that won’t time me out so fast and for so long, then they are succeeding. I do love the aquarium and the fish, but that can only go so far with helping me stick with this game.
Totally would recommend such a great game
Sat Sep 24 2022 thisgamesucks11111235678This game isn’t worth playing, this is why this game and every other game that is on a smart phone is trash, the predatory advertising that literally won’t even let you play the original game you downloaded only points to the complete garbage these lazy useless people make. People should want to play your game because it’s fun not because they are forced to download it through your trash predatory advertising, you know your product is trash and this is the only way you can even possibly make money is to force people to download your absolute trash. Boost the numbers by this absolute nonsense of advertising where you continuously prompt people to download it like I said no the first 47 times you piece of trash. I miss the days when mobile games were not destroyed but this garbage and developers actually had to have some form of talent not force advertising and try to get them to accidentally click download to boost your numbers. This game and it’s developers are at their very best an accident and it’s most likely and accident which brought them into this world and they have to force their trash down our throat.
That’s all thank you and have a good day! 10 out of 10 on waste my time
Stops being fun when the game begins to cheat
Thu Sep 23 2021 *97*86&75$7I agree with what other people have said in their reviews. This game started out to be really fun, and I’m not one of those people that needs to win all the time. I just play to relax, however the game stops being fun when it can take you an entire week or more to pass one level. Most recently, some thing else has been happening. This has happened to me twice now, I have been on a level and then some sort of new tournament starts and I noticed that the number of moves that I previously had to complete the level changes. I’m on level 800-something now and whereas I had 16 or 18 moves before to try and beat this level now I only have 11 which is impossible, unless I want to spend money or use up every single spare bomb or special object that I have to try and win. And, as the other reviews have also mentioned when you do use a special object it does seem to place it in such a way that it destroys what would otherwise have been a really great move. And I also have had the same thing happen to me where I go to move a piece in the play that would create a bomb and it somehow moves in the opposite direction that I swiped. Until I read the reviews, I just chalked it up to my error, however reading that this is happened to several people now makes me wonder if it’s a problem with the game. Either way the game is quickly losing interest as it’s no longer fun or relaxing.
Sooooo… not the best
Sun Jul 24 2022 Elisestar13I downloaded what I thought was the game I saw in the ads, the one where the fish try to eat the other fish to get bigger and level up. Turns out, it’s nothing like that. At all. In reality, what they advertised as the whole game is supposedly a mini game. I played 60 levels and never saw a single one! Don’t advertise your game as a completely different game! Also the levels are extremely difficult to beat. I don’t know what these other reviewers are talking about but this was not stress-reducing. Quite the opposite. In fact, I’m really starting to hate silver tiles. Each level has about 15-20 moves and around 50 targets that you have to collect, therefore you need to buy either extra moves or boosters. If you screw up a level you lose a life and whatever power ups/boosters you had so you have to go buy more. There are only 5 lives so you can play about 3-4 rounds, and that’s 10-15 minutes. Also, it is constantly pestering you to buy stuff. I’m not writing this review because I hate the game. I’m writing it because these are problems that need to be fixed, and I would like to play that mini game, it looks really fun. I hope that the people thinking of downloading this game and the developers will take these problems into consideration. Thank you for reading my review!
Fun… for a cost
Sun Aug 15 2021 MikerTheHobbI’m probably going to play this for a little longer, so don’t let me discount the addictive nature of this game. I’d have quit if i wasn’t being amused.
That being said, the fact that it’s a naked cash grab isn’t lost on me. Some levels are simply unwinnable without a “boost”. Don’t believe me? I hit roughly level 1100 and every other level is “super hard” or a “challenge” ( that you cannot opt out of…). I spent $50 for this little experiment, so I’m sure some PR guy will reply that no level is unbeatable, but when you win based off of spending, right? So, when the app feels you haven’t spent enough, you get all the levels you can’t win without a boost. And it directly correlates to how much you spend! I had my wife just in this as a control. As soon as I spent $50, I got about 20 levels that were “easy”, whereas she didn’t spend anything and got slammed on those same levels. So we remade the accounts and got to where the app wants you to spend money. This time, she dropped a $20 and got half as many “easy” levels, while I got slammed.
Basic idea, they made a fun game that makes it too easy to spend money, and that’s the point. They didn’t make this out of generosity. I’m getting annoyed by the fact that I don’t want to spend $20 a day so my time in Fishdom may be ending soon, but I’ll never fault it for a lack of entertainment value.
