Tap on your screen and your Koi will automatically follow in the direction of your movement. Guide it towards prey and your Koi will eat them.

To level up your Koi, click on the circular dial level display at the top left corner of the pond. Select ‘My Koi’ and choose your Koi to view the Koi detail screen. Click on ‘+’ button to allocate skills to your Koi.

Feed your Koi above level 4 and a Koi mate will occasionally appear. Tap on the Koi mate and try to follow as close as you can! When the big ring around your Koi becomes full, it will hatch an egg. Try to level up your Koi for faster speed and agility.

Tap on ‘Gem’ button on the lower right corner. Eat little fishes in the recipe, and craft gems. Once you have gems swirling around your Koi, tap on ‘?’ and Expand pond’ notification on the lower left of the pond. Your Koi will automatically be guided to the symbol to deposit the gems. If you lose your way, tap on ‘?’ and ‘Expand pond’ again.

Try to approach it from behind and level up your Koi for greater speed. It is a little tricky, but with a faster Koi and some practice, you can get it. The red Pufferfish will slow down and hurt your Koi, so try to avoid them while you sneak up for a surprise attack!

The scarab will tuck itself in when your Koi approaches, so try to catch them from behind unawares. It may be a challenge as they scuttle fast, but with an agile Koi and some accuracy you’ll be able to get them!

Try to ascend your existing Koi to free up more space for future eggs to hatch. We encourage players to strategically manage their Koi collection with the slots they have, and if necessary use Pearls earned through gameplay to unlock more slots.

To unlock My Pond, you will need to collect at least 200 Essence. My Pond is your own personal space to decorate and view your current Koi. You can visit your friend’s pond for inspiration!

When you ascend a Koi into a Dragon you are awarded a Dragon Point. Dragon points can be used to compete with friends and the rest of the world on the Leaderboards, which you can find in the Settings screen, tap on the Leaderboard button. You can also use your Dragon points to unlock Collector’s Koi patterns, which you can find in the Shop / Collector’s Koi area.

Awakening Orbs are used to awaken your Dragons. Earn Awakening Orbs by ascending Koi or by collecting them through daily rewards!

After awakening your Dragon, you can collect Essence while you form beautiful constellations. Use them to purchase in-game decoration for your personal pond!

A weak internet connection may cause the ‘Gem’ button to disappear. You will see a ‘No-WIFI connection’ symbol in place of the ‘Gem’ button. Please move to an area with stronger connection and keep playing the game – it should return soon!

If you are playing with your first Koi and after level 4.5 and a mate has not made an appearance (and you had a crash earlier) please quit the game, swipe away its active window on your device and relaunch the game. Make sure that you have good internet connection and level your Koi until 5.5 – you should see a mate!
