Great game very nostalgic of zoo tycoon. Has a decent amount of content and loads more planned to expand it, happy to support and play as it grows. Animals are cute and varied, and I like the expedition mini-game. Think the updates will bring more depth but as it is its very playable and cute!

I got this game after people called it the mobile zoo tycoon. I couldn't agree more! This game enables high creativity and sets realistic goals. It feels very polished but could be improved with more guest buildings and structures. I also noticed a glitch where rocks can be placed outside the zoo grid and then can't be deleted, which gets really distracting.

The animals are super cute, and it plays a lot like the original rollercoaster tycoon which is a big plus. However, there are no difficulty options until you reach level 10 and the on rails, unskippable tutorial will send your Zoo budget tanking into the ground and have all your animals starving to death long before it's explained why that's happening. The randomized nature of the capture mini-game is extremely frustrating as well sometimes generating nothing but one male animal type forever.

Game freezes every time (pixel 8), usually within minutes...which is too bad because I was really looking forward to trying it out...plus I wasted my money. Hopefully it will get patched or something
