Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Playing by Appointment reported on Jun 21, 2022
you get certain fish or achievements only at certain (late) times of day
Fear of Missing Out reported on Jun 21, 2022
the event component makes it impossible to stop playing without feeling like you're missing out somehow
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Jun 21, 2022
the coral you take care of says nice things to you that make you want to "escape" the real world into this game, and also all the fish are really adorable and cute and do hearts when you tap them, making you want to tap more
Anchoring Tricks reported on Jun 21, 2022
The bundles are listed first, and there's a ton of them
Complete the Collection reported on Jun 21, 2022
there's entire collection and achievement screens dedicated to making you want to fill them out
Badges / Endowed Progress reported on Jun 21, 2022
there are tons of badges and achievements you can get by having a certain amount of different fish, often with at least one premium (event-locked or in-game currency locked) fish included
Power Creep reported on Jun 21, 2022
Every time you get a new fish, the amount to buy another goes up, so you have to upgrade power-ups in order to keep up with the costs. Leveling up costs in game currency that you can get for free, but not at a good enough rate to avoid the desire to buy more in-game currency
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Jun 21, 2022
If you miss an event, you can pay to have a chance to get a fish from that event
Recurring Fee reported on Jun 21, 2022
There is a subscription you can buy
Accidental Purchases reported on Jun 21, 2022
the buttons to go to different parts of the app and buttons to purchase something are identical, and interspersed together. Now they even will suddenly do a pop-up for a very expensive fish you can buy after tapping a power-up button that you usually do by tapping multiple times, quickly, with the purchase button partially on top of where you would have been tapping. Your only safeguard is the app store confirmation screen.
