Amazing Game, I Recommend It! It has amazing graphics, great background music and sound affects, and tons of koi to collect! The only thing I recommend is maybe a tutorial for when you start since I was confused, but after playing the game a bit I understood the goal and what the symbols are for. The game's also very calming and fun. Keep up the good work!

Great game! I love the koi collections which support the obsessive part of my brain, and I love how they stay updated and are always adding more! (Such as the Easter event with flower and bunny themed kois) I'd recommend this game to anyone, & I think it's great for playing passively on and off. I mostly play it between classes or on weekends, plus this type of on-off playstyle works for the timed events like hatching eggs; Also it is nice & simple, anyone can play it with no troubles. Have fun!

Just swim around eating bugs; not much to it, but suddenly it's morning and you're late for work, never mind going to bed. Some challenge with the more advanced bugs (despite official advice, don't boost speed for the puffers, that just makes koi hard to control -- target them as briefly as possible (target a little beyond) and take long straight runs from directly behind) but very little stress. I do wish it were possible to "buy" (with pearls) more *egg* slots, & to suppress ad reminders.

played this one years ago, and stopped without getting my first dragon, could never figure out how to eat the pufferfish. started on the second game and figured it out, came back to this one again, it's great. just seems like it takes longer to progress to the next pond, more requirements than the second game I guess, still love them both though.

This game is extremely relaxing. Although it is repetitive I don't mind that aspect of it. I can spend an hour or more playing this trying to level up my koi, hatching eggs to see what I breed is produced. Strategizing to try to get the missing breeds is all very enjoyable. The graphics are very nice and the music is extremely relaxing. I like this game very much and will play for as long as it takes to complete. I will then download Zen koi 2. Thank you for a great little game!

I prefer this to zen koi 2, but I play both. I have been zen-ning out to this game for a few years now. I love that I dont have to stress or get tense, it helps me chill out and turn off my brain when I need to. I just wish it worked offline so I could play it on flights without wifi. Zen koi 2 is a little less relaxing since some of the fish are more challenging to catch. This version is simple, clean, easy, and peaceful. I love it!

Adorable game! Love that I can evolve my koi into different dragons! The only thing that's odd to me is that I can't see the rarity of each of my koi. It should say at the top if they are common, rare, etc. but it doesn't. In the collection list it tells you what some of them are, but that's not really helpful. Maybe I'm missing something? Other than that (and the fact that I have to spend actual money to really get anywhere) the game is great. Love the concept and art as well!

I find this such a fun app! The graphics are beautiful! It's a simple game, but for some reason I love it! It took me a bit to get the hang of things and it would be nice to have some kind of instructions somewhere. Also, what are the red plants that slow down the koi? I've ascended 4 koi so far to dragons. I've had to put a limit on the time I spend on the app cuz I can easily while away the hours on this. I really hope the developers get the pro version working on androids.

Relaxing, entertaining, interesting, and fun. I enjoy playing without fear of loss or death. Creating unique, exotic and beautiful creatures with it is a very enjoyable experience. I hope for more music variety, and possibly interactive play and mutations or play as other pond creatures, creating more individualized creations. Beautiful concept - so far! I love no in game purchases - this game has lotsa potential for diverse playability without dopamine gimmicks.
