Game does not tell you how to play and what to do pls uptade

I’m always on the lookout for small indie games like this. This is my favorite result of those searches. It’s a game I didn’t know I needed in my life. I went into it expecting a simple fishing game, but it was so much more. It combines open-world exploration with an idle-type of game. You can go out fishing for a while, and all that time, if you set up farms and fisherfolk’s right, you’ll be making a ton of money in addition to the fish you catch. And, even if you close the game, it will still make money while you’re gone. Another part I’m incredibly fond of is the ads. No good free game has no ads. But usually, it’s not the ads I mind, it’s how they’re presented. If they blow up in my face every few minutes or are always there at the bottom of the screen, it gets really annoying. But this game presents it perfectly. Ads are entirely optional. You can watch an add to open a chest, or to get free stuff from the shop, but they aren’t necessities. You get to pick when to watch an ad, and that is amazing. I wish more games would adopt that approach. Another thing I love about this game is the overall design and feel of it. It feels like a real indie game that has real people who actually care about it behind it. I love the way the colors change every so often, and the graphics are great as well. I don’t often have my sound on, but I decided to try it with this game, and I absolutely recommend it. The sound design is wonderfully crafted. There’s so much more that can’t really be covered in one review, so try it out for yourself. I’m less than a day in, and already love it! Thank you so much for making a wonderful game! 😁

A soothing game to feel at ease and discover as you progress to new Islands and fish for specific fish or new island creatures.

I really enjoy this game. The only thing that I still haven’t figured out is the coin amount. The A, B, C really confuses me and I may be looking to far into it. But at this point I can’t build the pier for the 3rd island because I need 50.0c. I have upgraded my fishing house for the same amount with no issue and my “balance” prior to that was 36.6a. I tried to find information on the coins but haven’t had luck and no matter how long I stay on the game getting income through fishing, crops, mini games and chests I still can’t seem to unlock that pier build.

I don’t understand what is “zen” about this, every time I try to do something you have to build something, get something, find something, get rid of something else, find weird things that I don’t know what they do yet and just super frustrating. I guess it could be good I just don’t know what’s going on half the time.

This game is adorable & addicting! I played it all day yesterday and when I tried to open the app it tells me my Wi-Fi isn’t connected- I know it is but I tried turning it off and still said the same thing. I want to keep playing but the app won’t open!

Hello :) I wrote a review a while back asking for different islands to get materials from and you guys added it! That’s how I know you guys care about the people playing the game. I came back to this game after a break since I was busy lately. Still love it, and it’s still really lovely and peaceful. Now my suggestion is to make it more ocean explorer-y. I love the idea of you have to unlock the last island and get the material to make a compass to get the next island, but the blank space when getting the money to build the dock is making it a bit boring. So my idea is to still make the islands that you have to access the last to access the next, but to also have a free ocean with some rogue islands that don’t give you material, but just a place for you to stop and explore. It would definitely fill in the time while you try to unlock the islands with the gems. I understand it’s a small team of 2, and this might be a lot to make, but it’ll really make it more of an ocean explorer. And I’d really enjoy just sailing around to no where with no intent and seeing what I can find! Overall still love this game, and I still recommend it if you need to take a well needed break.

Great pallet, audio, style, and game play. Very satisfying. Keep up the great work devs!

The game started off as a “battle royale” first person to get to an island game. Which was interesting at first and made it a challenge for people who tried to get to an island first. And with some bugs appearing the game appeared to be increasing in popularity until it stagnated and the developers panicked and changed the fundamental idea behind the game. As of writing this review the new update is now no longer about finding an island before everyone else does but now about building a base to earn coins. What those coins do for you other than upgrading the home island and buying/upgrading boats I couldn’t say. But nonetheless the developers decided to also tweak how boats function in the game. Instead of it being just a cosmetic so everyone is on an even playing field, now whoever pays the most gets the best boat in the game and can easily win races and beat other players who grind hours upon hours to upgrade their boat. And not only that, there is the issue with chests that plays an ad anytime you want to open one unless you pay more money for a season pass to go ad-free. I really tried giving this game the benefit of the doubt but ever since the new update this feels like a completely different game company made the game just to profit off of ads and gullible people. I don’t know what happened behind the scenes between the developers but they had such a cool idea for a mobile game that got ruined by micro transactions and ad palooza. You can still compete with others to find the island but it’s not the same with the compass pointing the exact direction you need to go and the islands are always close by to the starting point. I remember months ago it took me several minutes to find the island and it gave me such satisfaction when I found it but now it just seems like a waste of time that gives little to no reward. All in all, I really hope the developers fix this game which might already be too late with the amount of money people dumped into this game and the ad revenue they get daily will really not want them to change anything. The only reason I’m keeping this a 2 star instead of a 1 is because I really liked the original developers and their simplistic yet fun game they offered. Now it’s just a memory of a better game than whatever this is.

In general i love the game but one thing that i noticed that they added recently is the comment feature. All i have to say is that i have not had a great experience with it. As usual i was playing the game and one of the other players on line was making negative comments towards my player after i had lost a competition. Is there a way to disable the comment feature??? I wish they had never added this feature
