    While I love the ability to instantly hatch my eggs and having so many egg slots, this version of Zen Koi really takes away features. I personally could care less about the social aspect, but the lack of events or season koi really feels unjustified. This is supposed to be the pro version of zen koi, so why does it feel like it has less than the free-to-play versions? I love collecting things, but I would also like to feel rewarded for it. The lack of anything to do with your dragon points really makes the dragon points worthless. Honestly, it feels like they would’ve been better off making the original games have an offline option (you don’t really need internet to swim, breed, and ascend). They could’ve even done a premium option for hatch times and the slots and even the new shiny/metallic koi. This version of the games really feels like a hit and a miss, because ultimately it does not feel like a pro version at all.

    Hello, thank you for your thoughtful review, and apologies for the very late reply.As Zen Koi is ultimately designed to be a quiet and calm game we felt that the definition lands itself in omitting the online components of it which involves social gifting, live ops events, etc. Your points are valid and valued that why we would love to hear more about how you feel we can make the pro version of Zen Koi better. Do join us on Discord https://discord.gg/8JRayMFZ or email us at support@landsharkgames.com we would love to hear from you more.Thank you for your support, and we hope you’ve still found moments of calm with the game.

    I have loved Zen Koi one and two, so I bought this… twice, once for myself and once for my sister. I’m kind of disappointed. The goals are great and stuff, but without the ability to decorate up pond and earn a few decorations it feels kind of like I got half of an app. I know that wasn’t your intention lol, but perhaps a pond and the ability to awaken dragons to earn points in this game as well would be a good thing, especially if you allowed things like like the stones for changing the color in the pond. Do you know additional downloads for seasonal things wouldn’t be a bad idea either just keep them very peaceful. Halloween can be peaceful, even though would think that it can’t be. Some ideas for you to consider. Up to you…. but just remember your fan base equals money.🙃

    Hello, and thanks for the feedback. Zen Koi Pro/Pro+ is all about single-player offline gaming for a premium relaxing experience. In the latest update we have a new menu with challenges and goals. We hope you'll be able to give us some feedback to improve. We have plans for more events and updates with new exciting koi patterns. Do note that the pond decorating is a feature in Zen Koi 2.

    I love this version of zen koi. No ads, and a quicker game as well. I enjoy the lovely shiny colors of the rare fish. I appreciate the greater simplicity of this version as well. My only complaint is it is extremely difficult to close out the last few rare fish of each breed. I thought the new addition to the game where they give you fish to help you get the remaining ones would help. But I have played the same origin fish you send me twenty times without getting the fish I need. This gets boring and makes the game less fun. Please fix the algorithm so it is easier to finish our rare breeds. I love this game and thank you for your creative efforts.

  • very disappointing

    I was really excited for this game, and I am enjoying it. However, they cut a lot that was in the free version. There’s no pond, no friends, no daily quests. I’m hoping they add seasonal koi that are in the free version, but I’m not holding my breath. I’m very disappointed. With how much they left out, it feels like half of the free version. I don’t know if I can recommend buying this. edit: I just saw the developer’s response to someone else, saying there’s no social features because it’s an offline game. I don’t know why it can’t have online features with the option to play offline. I really thought this would be a replacement of the free version, not a companion.

    Hi there, thanks for writing a review! Zen Koi Pro is based off the original Zen Koi game, thus features from ZK2 will not be included. We aimed to make it more streamlined and focused on Koi collecting, without worrying about any internet connection as well. We hope you'll continue to play it as a companion game alongside ZK2, which will continue to be supported as well.

    I have played ZK1 ZK2 and now ZKPro and I love all of them. Depending on how you play the game will probably decide which you like most.I prefer ZKP. It’s a true zero stress experience with all the restrictions removed.My only concern now is that I might move through the ZKP game too fast! I hope that the same seasonal and event patterns will be added in future upgrades. I would be sad if the game experience is finite and ultimately ends with no path forward once current patterns are completed. I would be more likely to upgrade patterns in ZKP with the lower stress environment.

  • Zen?

    Ok……pretty nice game but Zen? How about letting us chose a truly Zen mode without torture plants and torture bugs? This is supposed to be relaxing, not frustrating.What I mean by this, as the developer questioned me about it, is not plants and bugs being tortured, but plants and bugs are torturing the fish that we are taking care of. When my fish, not on purpose, has to swim through those red plants and red puffer bugs depending on which version of game I am playing, the whole screen around the outside turns red it is not a positive experience. What is the point of causing stress in a Zen game? Isn’t life stressful enough?
