As we said above, this is really not that much unlike My Emma and other games that would allow you to take care of something….or someone. That means you’ll have to play the mini-games in order to earn more coins. In here, there are only two – one will require you to hop across lily pads, while the other is similar in mechanics to Fruit Ninja. Play these games regularly in order to earn more coins, and double your earnings by watching a free ad video.
You’ll be able to view a snapshot of your fish’s overall status in this game, with each meter representing various metrics such as her hunger, boredom, and a few others. You want to keep those meters full at all times, or at least ensure that they’re nowhere near empty. If these meters are filled up, you’ll have many more chances to earn experience and coins.
These two rooms, unfortunately, are protected under lock and key, and you wouldn’t be able to unlock them with coins like you normally would. Instead, they’ll only be unlocked if you buy the game at full price. Still, you don’t need to worry about parting with your cash, as neither room is essential to your fish’s development.
The above situation isn’t the only one where you’ll need to do something (or pay something) in order to unlock. There are some features that have a video clip icon next to them, which would mean you should watch a quick ad in order to access them. Bear in mind that you can use any unlocked feature for as long as you stay in the same room . If you leave the room, you’ll have to start from square one as the feature will lock again and remain there until you watch another ad.
While the gifts you can buy at the gift shop don’t really look like anything special, they can be used to jazz up your fish’s house. Better yet, you can even play with those gifts by tapping on the starfish button at the top right of the screen.
