I agree that the timer is not always welcome but I turn to volume almost off so when it starts the noise that I'm running out of time it's barely noticeable. It's pretty mindless and relaxing. I've racked up a few million points and now I'm going to see if it will handle 10 million on the score card. I must like it!

I really like this game - it's challenging some times, easier others. Working against the clock makes it even better. And, while clearing the board is rewarding, buying fish and plants and castles and whatnot is the real payoff. I've played this game for hours and sometimes I decorate the tank with everything that's colored green, sometimes blue. It's a lot of fun and always one of my go-to games

Not everyone wants to play against a timer all of the time. Some of the Fishdom games have a relaxed mode, but others don't.
