« Having a blast with my 5 year old playing this one, we love the simplicity and fun graphics! »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 25 h played1« Got even better after the demo. Great game: fun, entertaining, love the minigames. Having the drones deliver buffs instead of passive fishing is a very cool idea. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 1 h played1« The indie games with the numbers going up got me again, ma. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 2 h played1« Couple of hours of fun, cute music, cute turtle and penguins, would recommend to enjoy for a few hours »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 6 h played1« This was such a nice game. I don't enjoy fishing. Unless I need to keep on fishing. And this character with his goofy limbs is so funny, cracked me up a couple of time. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 2 h played« Very fun very addicting from what i played so far. Almost a hour in and I'm on island 5 out of 12 i believe.

« Not worth the £7, very low effort incremental. Becomes a slog pretty quick. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played2« Le jeu tourne trop autour des powerups et donc devient très vite lassant :( »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played« Its a ok game, used 118 minutes to complete it with all achievements. after 60 minutes it got a bit boring and i completed it just because of the achievements. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 2 h played« 100% achievements in 2 hours Way too short for a $7 incremental game Progression is off Skill node balance is terrible and linear Unfun and annoying maps »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 2 h played« Boring, grrindy, repetitive and just crap. Definitely NOT £4.40 worth, this is more of a 99p game. I like these tiny incremental games, but this is just ♥♥♥♥. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played« JUST ONE MORE CAST.... I love everything about this game from the fantastic music, amazing visuals, and great progression. This game is so relaxing and so enjoyable.
