Beautiful but Buggy You cant connect to Facebook, so good luck with completing the Valentines event. There is a bug where if you have taken a picture or saved the game to the cloud, then watch an ad or spin the wheel, it will grey out and a box over the content says saving. This prevents clicking in the game. You can salvage the wheel prize by pressing your device back button. It should show what you won under the black box. Then X out of the game and restart. This must be fixed or I'll delete.

I love this game a lot. As someone with bad anxiety as well as a phobia of water and fish, this game (and the VR option) is very helpful. It's calming, beautiful, and creative. However, there is way too much emphasis on watching ads. It's even required to complete certain objectives. And, in order to unlock everything during an event, it's almost necessary to continuously watch ads to speed things up and get extras. The subscriptions and in-app purchases are also way overpriced.

Used to be charming, relaxing, and fun. Now it's an endless parade of stressful events that require constant work just to keep up. Impossible to progress without either spending money or watching ad after ad. Plus, it's so unstable it crashes constantly - I'm literally spending as much time waiting for the game to reload as I am playing. The ads themselves are usually the cause of the crashes, meaning whatever reward the ad should have unlocked is often lost.

Been playing since game launch. It's still a beautiful game. However now it's polluted with micro events, micro content, and micro transactions. The interface is a mess as it tries to balance the aforementioned. The game has fully lost its original intent, its relaxing aspect, and feels like a chore. Sad to see it go down this path.

Like many others, I downloaded this game early on when it was a small indie game by an unknown developer. Back then, it was a beautiful and relaxing game that was free to play. There were understandably, a few ads, but you could complete most of the events by playing regularly. I don't mind watching some ads or paying a few bucks for good games. Unfortunately, this once lovely game has morphed into a shameless cash grab. It's virtually unplayable and stressful to boot. Ads galore & paywalls. Ugh

I played for a long time years ago, but I stopped playing at some point for whatever reason. When I found it again I was excited to restart and be able to build up again from scratch, but it forced me to reload the old save I had without asking. Thats kinda stupid, it should at least offer you the choice or give a choice to reset somewhere in the settings.

I left the game at around BR because of a bug that appeared that has to do with ads. The ads don't work 80% of the time, and the loading ad thing just stays there, pretty much making me go to my home screen and then back to the game again and again. This bug has been bothering me for a while and ruins most of the game for me. Please actually read my comment and others too. I will rate this 1 stars until this is fixed. Thanks.

It's nice and all. Just a pain to keep tapping, like the Oasis one better. But when I started this. It said that I should buy 5 clownfish. I bought two of the red and orange. It wouldn't let me buy three. So I looked around then clicked on the map. It shows three types of clownfish, but I'm missing one, which is the blue one. I can't get past that since it won't let me buy three of one. So I ended up uninstalling the game after about a week of levelling other things and attempting to buy another fish. So sorry, I would give it 4.5 stars max. Even with the fish, since the tapping here is slower than the Oasis. But ine good point is the graphics of the game are great.

Update caused so many issues! I'm constantly getting notices that there are no more videos available and to check back in 24 hours, even when I didn't select to watch a video. When i click something half the time nothing happens, its telling me I have notices in my inbox but then nothing is there, or if something is there I can't open it. I LOVE this game I realize updates can cause issues so will change.mh review when bugs are fixed.

IT WON'T FREAKING LOAD! It sits at the best games of 2016 and the little loading icon just goes around and around until it closes itself and brings me back to my home screen. Sometimes it says Abyssrium has stopped or it just closes and doesn't tell me anything. What the heck!? This looks like a cool game but it won't let me play it! I've re-installed it, closed and reopened it and checked to be sure it didn't need updated countless times but to no avail. Help!

Uninstalled after 7 days. It just didn't click with me. Too many menus and yet not a way to see the daily rewards chart thing(went lookingfor it when it popped up for 2 seconds I saw I was supposed to get a fish but I didn't get it), too much to keep track of, too much stuff in too many places. It's a cluttered game. Really pretty though. A completionist nightmare.

I've been playing from the beginning and this game used to be great when it first came out. Now, after multiple uninstalls, months, and reinstalls, the game continuously crashes. Ads control everything you do in the game, including just running the game, because it crashes with 70% of the ads. Please fix this beautiful game and make it relaxing again.

There's too much going on screen. i.e. moving ad icons, menus for other mini games and event things.. all of which are cash grabs requiring micro/ingame purchases to get the materials needed for them in their alloted time frames... It takes away from the original concept, simple and calming aquarium, with lots of cute animals/fish. I wish there was a setting to disable all the icons and clutter onscreen, but there isn't.

This game is addicting- the simple graphics and beautiful fish make me want to keep playing till I have them all! 7/3/2022 - as many have said, this app is still fun but has become overly complicated. There are dozens of screens, tabs, and menus to try and navigate. While all ads are optional and not integral to gameplay, the constant "free!" and "new!" alerts that sometimes do not go away are distracting. It takes away from the relaxing, therapeutic aspect that made me love it 5 years ago :^(

This game used to be better. The game is still cute and pretty fun, but it has become a huge cash grab. The screen is cluttered, including a "free" section that advertises the paid options, but has a couple things you can watch an ad to collect. There are events, and the event currency carries over, but you will be needing a lot of it for each event. A couple features I would like to add would be an option to clear away all my extension decorations, and being able to buy multiple fish at once.

I downloaded this game again after many years when a video of a wobbegong reminded me of it and was saddened to see it hasn't changed since I quit playing. The early events were so creative and fun. I remember an active community excited to work toward the limited time fish. Now the events have a handful of poorly designed fish and there are no new regular or fusion fish. This game was at its peak when they first introduced extensions. Now it has way too much going on and not enough uniqueness

I like the game and i used to play it years ago with no issue. However, in my recent attempts at playing, a few seconds into the tutorial, my vitality immediately jumps from the normal 10 per tap (which I thought it was 1? but even 10 is normal enough) to some gigantic number for my total and per tap with a letter at the end (ie 2.004A). I know this is for very high numbers, but this happens to me at the tutorial section. it's not normal. how do I fix this bug?

I like the game but no matter what i do to fix it, the app will not let me use the ads to claim rewards, i thought it was something wrong on my end but ive done everything i could to fix the issue and nothing is working, so im assuming its an issue with the app itself, i would love if you guys could look into that because i really do love the game but its really frustrating not being able to play the ads for rewards.
well then

I just downloaded the game but downloaded this game on to my two dead other phones in the past. Long story short, the game is just boring now, and it seems like the developers are too focused on the events, then the normal and fusion fish sitting there collecting dust. I think an update that focuses on this issue would be nice, adding more normal and fusion fish. If you're reading this, then please do it. Also, I really wish for the prices for every species of fish didn't grow when I create one.

The game is fun, but in my opinion, you have to do the $8 a month subscription for it to be playable. I played for nearly 2 months and never got the "notification" fish (yes, settings were set to show them), plus I even used methods mentioned online to help with it, but when contacted, they basically said "as intended" and refused to do anything; I just don't think the basic fish are meant to be unattainable after two months of playing, so I had to quit.
