This is a cute little game with an interesting spin on the conservation aspect. You go on expeditions to find new species for the zoo, then breed at the zoo and release back to the wild for conservation points.Overall fun and refreshing. I have some small quality of life complaints that hopefully will be addressed in future updates.1. The build menu is very frustrating because it is easy to accidentally build something (fence, path, tree, etc) but if you demolish it you don’t get your money back. This can lead to very frustrating lack of funds, especially early game. The phone doesn’t recognize two finger drag and instead builds something you don’t want essentially lighting your money on fire.2. Menus have no back button. This means if I want to check the requirements for new animals in storage, I have to open the animal menu, open the list, click storage, look at one animal and be booted out only to have to add them all again. This is cumbersome.3. When making new shops of the same type, it would be nice if the item price defaulted to the last price I set for that same item. Kind of annoying to add new shops and have to spend forever lowering the prices for everything.4. It would be nice if I can see what item guests found too expensive when they leave reviews or if I click on them. If the guest purchased a bunch of things, I can estimate the expensive item should be what they didn’t purchase. But often you have to click many guests before finding one that bought multiple items. Maybe some extra graphs for each stand would help, tracking items sold and profit over time for each product making it easier to experiment.

Got a little bit of game time, and I’m really enjoying it, and can’t believe something hasn’t been made sooner. My only gripe right now is the UI not fitting my device. Lots of cut off content, making it hard/confusing to navigate. Hopefully that’s an easy fix. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come!

I was just thinking a few months ago about how there hasn’t truly been a spiritual successor to zoo tycoon on iOS, and like a wish came true, I came across this game!I was nervous to purchase this game—with just 2 reviews and some screenshots, I wasn’t sure about spending the money to buy the game upfront. I’ve only had this game for a maybe an hour now but it’s absolutely my new favorite:1) you can name individual animals, have more than 2 adults and 2 babies in the exhibit, etc2) you build the paths, plant the trees, make sure terrain is at the right balance, pick the appropriate fencing, and can check the animals’ happiness and compare to the guidebook to see how to improveAnd I absolutely adore the new mechanisms the game designer put into place including expeditions to native environments to unlock new animals and plants, as well as the customers judging your zoo using a modern starring system.All in all, this game deserves all of the stars, highly recommend and can’t wait to see where the designer takes it next ❤️❤️

This game does a great job of filling the need I’ve missed on iOS for a long time. Zoo games frequently are free games with tons of micro transactions. This is not that at all. The game is brand new so more content will be available later but it is a great game once you figure out what you are doing. If you like Zoo Tycoon you will love this!
