I have had this game for a long time, and I really enjoy it. I have it on my computer and also on my Kindle Fire. I don't understand why the reviews for it are bad.
I do not find it too easy, and have to replay levels sometimes. It is a match-3 game, but you are finding fish, pearls, etc., for a tropical fish store owner. I don't consider the dialogue too long.

You only have so much time when you are playing before your oxygen tank runs out, and you have to get the amount of each fish that that the owner asks you too. Sometimes you find a treasure instead. The store owner occasionally gives you better equipment, etc.
The second game in this series is great, too.
Anyway, I really like this game and highly recommend it. :) Show less

I recommend this game!

While I only had to repeat a few levels, this game is not as easy as it looks; sometimes I wondered if I ever was going to finish a level because all I was doing was collecting oxygen so that I could "stay alive". You spend as much time as you need to complete a level AS LONG AS your oxygen does NOT run out; in essence, your oxygen tank IS your timer.

While I only had to repeat a few levels, this game is not as easy as it looks; sometimes I wondered if I ever was going to finish a level because all I was doing was collecting oxygen so that I could "stay alive". You spend as much time as you need to complete a level AS LONG AS your oxygen does NOT run out; in essence, your oxygen tank IS your timer.

One reviewer stated that the competition was not even worth playing because you (the gamer) always won; REALLY? Interesting comment because I NEVER got to be #1 and in fact, one competition I LOST the 1st round. The GOOD NEWS, though, is that win or lose you continue on to the next level.

Four things that I did NOT like about this game:
*if you leave the competition (even to go to the Options Menue) after completing 1 round of it (there's 3 rounds), you have to REPEAT the 1 round that you'd already won

*the power-ups can only be used horizontally; none of them vertically

*there are 4 power-ups that'll take out 1, 3, 8, and 9 objects BUT whichever you use, ALL of THEM become negated by the use of any one of them and

*even if you put this game on pause and it does NOT appear to be playing, somehow it just does. I paused it for about 5 minutes and went back to the level and played and beat said level. However, I noticed (after playing another level) that the dot did NOT change color showing that it had been played and even though I DID click on that dot and play it, it STILL remained gray AND I had to REPLAY the level that I'd already played; hmm...

Read the notes that come up because they're important (not talking about the dialogue) but the notes that appear when you start a new level with a new achievement; i.e. how to gain a pearl (black and white) as they'll NOT show up on the board until you make certain moves and YES, you HAVE to find both types of pearls to complete the level(s).

Not the worst of Match3 games, not the best but okay. Show less

I recommend this game!

If you don't like timed games skip this one.

You have to collect specific fish before the time runs out. Timer is based on oxygen bubbles you collect. This works on the match 3 but on the concentration card game, there are only two matches for oxygen, so it goes pretty fast.

Graphics are cute, story line is pretty non existent, very basic match 3.

I don't recommend this game.

Very colorful and cute, but not challenging.
The dialogues are long and unnecessary, but you can skip, thankfully.
The game brings nothing new, and, although the level of difficulty gradually increasing, it is still an easy game.
In the "competition mode" is even worse since you will always win! The opponent does not match the required fish ... (has a target - which you have to collect fish), even ...Show more

In the "competition mode" is even worse since you will always win! The opponent does not match the required fish ... (has a target - which you have to collect fish), even though available.
It has games like "find pairs" once in a while.
I do not know if have other types of mini games, since 30 minutes was enough for me!
I love match 3, but this one was a little silly. Show less

I recommend this game!
