User Reviews

Players widely praise Fish Out Of Water! as a nostalgic, charming, simple game. However, most reviews condemn the new Halfbrick+ subscription model that gates play behind a subscription, with a steep price and a short free window. They feel the change ruins the nostalgia and would prefer a one-time purchase or ad-supported option. The sentiment toward paywalls and corporate monetization is strong, even as some acknowledge the game's past quality. Some suggest alternative purchase models such as a low one-time price or Apple Arcade.

Pros

Nostalgic and beloved classic that fans remember fondly.
Simple, charming, calming gameplay that remains enjoyable.
Recognized as an award-winning title with enduring appeal.

Cons

Forced Halfbrick+ subscription to play; paywall blocks access to the game.
High cost of the subscription (often cited around $25/year) and perceived greed.
Loss of free-to-play access and a shift from ads to a subscription model.
Very short or limited free play window (e.g., 15–20 minutes) before subscribing.

I used to play this game over a decade ago and it was so fun! One of my favorite mobile games of all time. I forgot about it for a long time but remembered it and wanted to play it again. We do not want to play your other games on Halfbrick+. We want to play Fish Out Of Water! Many would be happy paying a one time LOW COST payment to get rid of ads on an otherwise free game, but gatekeeping this classic, award-winning game to a terrible subscription service has ruined any nostalgia I had for it. If it ever becomes free to play again I would love to play it and change my review. Until then, Halfbrick+ remains a terrible decision by the studio and will rot with all the other games locked behind it. VERY hostile business practice!
