upgrading the boat guys does nothing. my guy should be level 4 and they keep taking the level away when I restart the app but I dont get the gems back. scam
too many ads for just about everything...it's annoying asf
I have gotten to level 44 of watching ads, needless to say I'm willing to waste time. But I'm starting to get ticked off. i play every single day and for the past week it's been acting like I've broken my 186 day streak and made me wait to load an ad to watch before fixing it, only to mess up again the next day. I play between 7 and 9 am everyday which shouldn't be breaking my streak. Nvm that there isn't a daily free spin anymore, which is a blatant cashgrab/timesink for more ad revenue.
Has forced ads
got a lot of items from a free chest, upgraded them and after i closed the game and reopened it because of an random pop-up ad all the items are gone like i never opened the chest but the gems i used for upgrades are also gone so it just stole my items. the chest also vanished so i could not re open it Edit. i reinstalled to get my stuff back from support and got a chest for daily rewards but that also is gone now im done the game forces ads on you all the time and voids any meaningful progress
I tried to play the game on pc and the game was just a whole bunch of messed up pixels I honestly could not even play it so I'm giving it a 1 star but if I was actually able to play it I might of increased the rating a little bit.
This is a really fun game with a good, well designed gameplay loop and would be excellent, however the frequency of ads is genuinely ridiculous I typically am watching an ad every 2 minutes or so, and in-between I'm often getting random popups for in-game purchases and I just think it's really greedy from the developers. If it wasn't for this focus on squeezing as much money as possible out of its players this would be a 5 star game
extremely slow progress, very aggressive, forceful ads. Nothing exciting to look forward to. Absolutely nothing to do than swipe finger over fish forever, and do the same levels over and over slightly stronger each time. Game has potential but could use a lot of work
