Comments on DESERTOPIA for Android

★★★★★ Maxilyn Calunod · Mar 21, 2026
Love this game tho I would recommend to the devs what if you like when you click the animal it tells you what it is and description and when you click it 2xx it makes a sound yk it would rlly RLLY RLLY be cool I love the art just everything about this game
★★★★★ Bu Naz · Jul 9, 2021
Over all I love the art style and the simplicity. But I think the game needs a little more help in its tutorial. I had to figure out a lot of things on my own. The guides need to be a little more helpful
★★★★★ Manoj Chikara · Nov 25, 2021
Very very very cute animals, I love that thing that we can take a picture, but I know that gems are very precious, but please give it as daily reward
★☆☆☆☆ Lex Gaming · Dec 4, 2020
This game literally sucks I was looking forward to playing, but it would show a blue screen with some writing on it (probably a logo or something, I don't really care about things like that) and then the screen changed to black instead and nothing would happen, it just stayed on a black screen. I really hate the apps that do this, it's super annoying. Why does this have to happen? If you wondered I am using an almost 1-year-old Amazon Fire tablet that only has one game on it and lots of room. Bye
★☆☆☆☆ R S · Feb 20, 2022
Not clear on how to achieve goals, gems need to be BOUGHT, and the windmill is just plain annoying. Sorry devs but this isn't anxiety or adhd friendly.
★☆☆☆☆ Andy Williams · Mar 20, 2021
Extremely confusing. Wants you to recycle plastic? Can't find plastic. Blow a conch horn? Can't find a conch horn. It's really weird. I can't tell if it's trying to be abstract or if it's some cultural disconnect with the developers, but I have no idea what the goal is. And it's a verrry slow grind. Even with cheating I got bored.
★★☆☆☆ Raindrop Deer · May 7, 2021
Kind of hate how the energy keeps going up overtime I water the ground, it makes it hard to keep the plant life flursising and I also hate how we have to watch adds to get some energy from the ship.

“A simple game with a deep meaning.” - INSIDE

“Experience the role humans play in the ecosystem, and understand that we cannot take whatever we want from Mother Nature without repercussion. Learn how to cherish valuable resources.” - App Store Feature


///// Introduction /////
Desertopia is a relaxing and therapeutic idle simulator where you can spend 5 to 10 minutes a day transforming a barren desert island into a vibrant, thriving habitat — all at your own pace.
You're here to care for the island and help restore its wildlife.
Occasionally, you’ll need to pick up floating trash to keep the environment clean.
You must also make decisions about events triggered by human activity.
Will you allow a tour group to visit the island? Should you build a resort?
Every choice you make will directly influence how the island develops.


///// Features /////
・Storybook-style art: Just watching animals roam the island is its own kind of therapy.

・100+ animals: Desertopia features over 100 unique creatures and 25+ terrain types. More than 15 legendary creatures may appear under special conditions — some only during festivals and holidays!

・Weather and water evaporation: Water evaporation is a unique gameplay mechanic. You'll need to summon rain regularly to maintain livable conditions for your wildlife. If neglected, the island will slowly revert into a barren desert.

・Multi-layered music: Enjoy rich, layered background music that shifts based on the area of the island and the wildlife within it.

・Events: Cruise ships bring various people and events to the island. Each comes with both benefits and drawbacks. How your island evolves is entirely up to you.
