I looked for a half hour for this game kuz I played it as a kid and loved it. Found it, installed it, configured my settings, and never got past the "play" button. Not sure if im missing something, or its a major bug, but its basically unplayable at the moment.

The core gameplay loop is fun. The game runs smoothly, fast loading times. But even paying a couple bucks won't bring you very far. After an hour, you won't make progress anymore. If you don't pay regularly, the grind is I N S A N E. I'd be willing to pay 5€ for a simple game like this, but the monetarization model is complete bollocks.

Overall, it is 5 stars, but 4 due to some save loss, bad glitches that really ruins the progress, and pretty very slow progress to upgrade, looking at you, Ninja Villages. The current glitches are 1. Using the drill to slow down when you ascend, CUTS the treasure box but not fishes when you try catch the box. 2. Fishes appearing from nowhere as you descend, messing your predict path. 3. When you auto-drill down, through the mines, all good. However, as auto-reel, you touch mines, boom. Fix Plz.

Fun game. But, the day after I bought gold, the game became unplayable. When I open the app now, the buttons on the first screen don't work. I've tried everything but reinstalling... I've seen other reviews where they've reinstalled and lost all their progress anyway... including purchases. Multiplayer is non-existent... there's no one playing the game anymore, and I can see why. Very unfortunate as I downloaded this for nostalgia, now getting a refund and deleting.

I would love it if the game had control options other than that the game is great

I would of give this 5 stars. It's such an amazing childhood game for a lot of us but there's one massive problem. Everytime I change phones and redownload the game I have to restart the game. This is a massive grinding game and you should add a way for players to log into Facebook or something like that like pokemon go. Absolutely love this game, just hate restarting and I'm going to keep this game off my phone until there's a log in update. I really really hope you consider this.🤟🙏

I always played this game as a kid! I love it! I had to delete it and reinstall it because I was playing around with the settings, and then it wouldn't let me press any of the buttons on the screen even play. I left it alone for a few days and still wasn't working. I reinstalled it and now had to restart my progress. I went on to the game, turned off the sound and vibrate and I also turned off cloud (Idk what it does). It wasn't working again. Please fix this problem. Afterwards, 5 stars.

Recently the game has been freezing more and more often, quite annoying when I've reached the bottom, caught a chest, caught a whole lot of high-value fish, and I lose the whole catch because the game froze and I had to close it. Still love playing but it definitely needs some bug fixes. Edit: this is now happening every time I open the app, making it next to unplayable.

I loved this game but all my data disappeared and I have to start over now... I tried contacting the team but no answer so I think is pointless playing a game if all the data is going to disappear.

I used to play this a LOT when I was younger, it's sad to see it's only gotten worse with time. The devs update the game to break it (it literally wouldn't load and would freeze when pressing play) and they add more ways to get money from you without fixing all the awful issues on newer devices. I'd say it was worth it but only 10+ years ago when it was actually good.

I paid a bit to get some more money and the diamond drill hook. However the game froze and became completely unresponsive to me no matter how many times I opened it and restarted my phone. I reinstalled the app and all of my progress is gone. I couldn't save in the cloud because the game wasn't responsive so I simply couldn't save it.

Update after update, the game becomes increasingly tarnished. Here are the three main problems: 1. Predatory scaling of game progress. It isn't worth it to go deeper. It's near impossible to earn good money as a free player, and ads are needed to get more. 2. Poor game optimization for newer devices 3. Removal of treasure swiping. Before, once you destroy a treasure inside a chest, you could swipe the same treasure for 2 seconds or so to essentially duplicate per swipe the treasure reward.

okay i liked this game a lot but what makes me rate it at 4 stars is that it takes a long time to grind (you have to grind alot to get better weight and reels because both of these cost a lot of in game currency and the fish caught tend to have lower prices.) What also makes it stay at 4 stars is that the bug that lets you cut treasure and slice it as much as you wanted is gone and I miss using that because I can get a ton of coins but its unfortunately removed. Honestly fun game.

I recently backed up my phone and had to do a factory reset. I had cloud save checked, but all of my hard work in this game has been lost aside from the achievements and katana I bought. I'm signed into the correct account and I'm unable to extract the save from Google Drive. Be weary that your progress in this game will die alongside your phone and you'll have to start completely over again. There are numerous other comments beckoning the same warning.

It's a fun game, but it doesn't work as well with more updated phones. My old iPod 10 years ago didn't even have the problem I have now. I keep having to stop playing because the system that controls to hook on descent stops working. Even restarting the app doesn't fix it. The app either works, or it doesn't. Update to run better on Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and I'll give a 5 star.

I have had this game when it first came out. It was fun and thrilling. I have decided to download it again, you know for the nostalgia, but one of the biggest problems that I had included the sliding speed of the hook. It either goes all the way to the left or right. I have tried going to the settings but its not the same. It doesnt glide anymore. Not because of an app malfunction I simply couldn't get it back to the default speed. Apart from that it was fun while it lasted. How to change back?

This game is super fun! The game does indeed progress super slow and it takes a while to get a lot of coins. The Village is nice, but it also takes a long time to build and you don't get a good return at all. The game can really use some upgrades regarding the prices of upgrades as well as the production of coins from the Village. The BIGGEST upgrade would be TOUCH CONTROLS!!! I absolutely hate having to be upright to play the game! All of this would definitely make a 5 star game.

When it works, it's great. The problem is that some actions seem to interfere with the accelerometer functionality and you can't tilt to move the hook. I have tried recalibrating the accelerometer, restarting the app, reinstalling the app, restarting my phone. Sometimes it just starts working again but I can't find a work around and it's a deal breaker.

I loved this game but am very frustrated that you have to start from the very beginning if you get a new phone. What's the point in turning on "cloud" if it doesn't actually transfer your progress??? The cloud simply doesn't work. I've been through this multiple times with this game and new phones and I'm simply not willing to start from the very beginning again. If you get hooked on games, don't even bother with this one because you'll be right back at the beginning every time you change phones

A lot of mobile games have gone down the drain with ads. This game is the complete opposite. Only time you watch ads is for upgrades, totally voluntary. Good pacing. Perfect difficult. Lots of content. I wouldn't mind another katana for coins but the game is really nicely made as of right now!
