Play Together

Reviewers raise this more often than any other complaint. They describe a shop that is everywhere, gacha draws with low odds and duplicates, a monthly membership that triples rewards and unlocks conveniences like "Harvest All" and unlimited fishing, and paid gear (rods, nets, weapons, faster mounts) that helps in events. Several call it pay-to-win in events, and some object that it is aimed at children: one wrote that "the microtransactions are wayyy too aggressive for a kid's game." Individual reviewers add specific grievances: a short free membership trial at the start that makes the game feel worse once it ends, a flying pet pack that needed extra gems to fly, and a bird-catching update where birds escape unless you buy a better net. A smaller group of players pushes back, saying the game gives out plenty of gems and that the paid items "are easy to avoid and there still plenty of f2p content."

Closely tied to the shop is the complaint that in-game earnings are too low for the prices. They describe outfits priced far above what a fishing session earns, rare fish that don't show up for hours even with top rods, and gems that trickle in. "Grinding for in-game currency feels like a second job with minimal reward," one reviewer wrote. Some suspect the odds are unfair or that rod stats don't do what they claim. Defenders say the grind is reasonable if you don't need everything.

About one in eight longer reviews complain about hackers. The common picture is players using third-party tools to teleport onto rocks, bugs and event enemies the moment they spawn, so honest players come away empty-handed, plus impossible times on minigame leaderboards. One reviewer said cheaters "teleport onto rocks as soon as they spawn and disappear once the rock is gone." Another wrote "This game always gets flooded with hackers whenever there’s an event." Reviewers say reports seem to go nowhere, and that banned cheaters return on new accounts. A few said they saw signs of the developers acting on it.

About one in ten longer reviews raise safety, and a few shorter ones warn parents in passing. The concerns are consistent: adults and children share the same servers, the chat filter blocks mild swearing but lets slurs and sexual talk through, and children post personal details. A few also question why a game with this young an audience has dating and marriage features. "Adults play in the same server as young children with no separation what so ever," one player wrote, adding that "Reporting also does absolutely nothing." Several reviewers describe harassment and grooming attempts they reported without visible action. A few positive reviewers say they haven't run into trouble, or that the kids' chatter is easy to tune out.

A cluster of reviews from launch week describe permanent bans after buying items through Steam, which they blame on a developer error ("Devs made a mistake and made players pay for it by permabanning."). One later said the ban was lifted but saved gems were gone. Other reviewers report bans after refunding a purchase, accounts locked for "abnormal activity" with no evidence given, and a warning that asking Steam for a refund before contacting support gets an account permanently banned.

A smaller group could not get in at all, mostly around launch: "unstable network" errors on fast connections, failures linking an existing mobile account to Steam, identity checks that never finish, and no way to log out and switch accounts. One player wrote that "the game just tells me that my internet connection is weak". Some later edits say the problem cleared up after weeks or months.

On mobile, players can watch ads for extra coins, triple rewards and daily gifts. Steam has no ads, so those rewards are only available through the paid membership. Several players call this unfair: "there's no ads on steam for obvious reasons but its kinda unfair to the steam players". Some advise grinding on a phone instead.

Newcomers who left early often describe sensory overload: a long, unskippable tutorial, constant pop-ups, loud audio and a cluttered interface ("Overwhelming, loud, and I can already see it's majorly money hungry."). Long-time players add tedious one-by-one reward claiming ("ADD RECIEVE ALL, not 1 by 1"), no storage and too few outfit presets.

A few reviewers say the customization is less inclusive than it looks: no plus-size body types apart from one oddly proportioned option, no Black hairstyles, hair colors fixed per style, and a shop that skews toward feminine items.
