This Game is sooooo Magical💫🌟

this app will give you robux
So like I downloaded the game before it even came out but waiting all this time was worth the wait! The experience is so magical because the music is just so pretty! It reminds me of a fairy garden, blossoms from Sakura trees falling gently, just so beautiful. Also, the graphics are amazing! (Better than the other bunny runaway game) Plus, including Koi fish is so nice because Koi fish is my favorite type of fish. Lily, the little otter, her name suits the game very pleasantly because I literally searched up “Lily Pondlife” and it showed a lily pad and Lily pads fit the game so well! I have suggestion though, please make the game a no WiFi game! I beg you! I was happy because the other runaway bunny game well needs no WiFi so please make this one like that too. When I said magical I used that word out of precious, gorgeous, beautiful and many more because “Magical” fits it so greatly! Hopefully you take my suggestion! Thanks for reading! Support the runaway community!

Great game but gets soooooo boring!!!

Super fun game for the first couple days playing but then it just becomes so boring unless you spend money. I log into the game 5-6 times a day and all I do at this point is collect, spend, sometimes hatch stuff, then close the game. I think this game has great potential but there needs to be something else added that can help you level up, (leveling up one level in the later game can take literal months unless you open the game every 30-45 minutes) such as mini games or more impactful events. Another problem I have with the game is gaining aqua cash. Again the one of the only ways to gain it is by buying it. I think it’s awesome that you can use aqua cash to decrease the cost of food but you have such a low chance of getting cash naturally that is almost an unnecessary feature. I really love this game and how much detail is put into the fish and stuff because as an avid aquarium hobbyist I can actually see the work put in behind each fish, but that amount of detail is almost pointless if the game isn’t “playable”. Although I get this is different from other games but it just feels like it’s going to take years before I get to see some of the more interesting species and stuff. I wish I could get on the game more often but it just seems pointless and I’m only level 16.

If you recognize me I play splash too and this game is literally just as good as splash! Also I love the new art style! The fish are so cute! I highly recommend Pondlife for any people who love nature, cute stuff, and relaxation! I really love the fact that the game isn’t pay to play type of game!For the devs: I really want you guys to add the friends feature in the game and the camera feature too because splash has it, why not in Pondlife too! Also can you make the events easier to unlock stuff because I’ve been playing splash and Pondlife for the exact same amount of time… about like a little over 2 weeks, and I unlocked the 4th event fish for the gleaming surgeonfish event but I DIDN’T get the 4th event fish for the treasure fish event. But even with these things I love the game!(Edit) WHY!!! EVERY TIME I PLAY A EVENT I CANT GET THE 4TH FISH I WANT THEM SO BAD THEY LOOK SO CUTE!!!

Relaxing game but progression is slow
Aug 5

This is a very relaxing game when you are progressing. My main issue is that the farther you get, the slower progression gets, till you have to spend several levels raising creatures you thrived ages ago just to unlock a new set, which you can typically thrive within a single level, then leaving you to spend several more levels raising creatures you’ve thrived to get to the next set. I really, really wish that the progression better matched the gameplay or that we had the ability to get visitor creatures to raise while waiting to reach the next level(s) like in this app’s sea version Splash, as for me the slow gameplay got so tedious with so far to go (still two long levels to go till the next set after already spending three levels raising already-thrived creatures just to get this far) that for now I only open the app a couple times a day when there isn’t a special event.
