### 4/5 — Great game annoying ads

*2026-08-10, version 1.6.2*

The game is the platonic ideal of a mobile game. However, it has ads that cannot be muted which is super annoying.

### 5/5 — MY FAVORITE!

*2026-07-07, version 1.6.2*

I love this game with all heart❤️ PLEASE consider an ocean habitat sometime🥺 Just a fun idea! Maybe less ads too if possible. But as always 10/5 stars! Thank you for the fun game creators!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-07-05, version 1.6.2*

I used to play this game when I was younger now it is better than ever

### 5/5 — Officially Classic App Store Game

*2026-07-03, version 1.6.2*

I have played this game for over a decade since I was 12 and the game ended at the jungle I believe. I’ve been playing and coming back to find update after update and I hope they never stop. The time machine especially made me feel transcendent when I discovered my favorite animal I thought they had forgotten, the rhino. My bellhop in Tiny Tower imported one to be his pet. All thanks to Disco Zoo. Would love either an Avian or Aquatic/Coral Reef Habitat, maybe you could change the depth of the habitat so they visually fit (water/air)? Otherwise I would ask for swamp or desert. Ok final ask :CRYPTIDS! They could be like super rare like pets or maybe you need multiple traces (catches) to track them down, meaning there would only be one catchable creature. They could be native to regions or not, I’m just thinking like chupacabra(ok nvm thx for adding him he’s the goat), lock ness, jersey devil, mothman. I know there’s many American folklore ones i’m less aware of. Hope you guys like the ideas, you seem always innovating so I figured some ideas couldn’t hurt. Thank you so much for the game.

*2026-05-31, version 1.6.2*

What a cute little game!

I absolutely love all the cute pixel animals that you can rescue and all the little scavenger hunts.

Don’t even get me started on the graphics! So cute! I love how you can buy tiny hats, name tags, and toy balls to play with.

This is an absolute must-try, and is so addicting! Have fun playing!

### 1/5 — This game is demanding

*2026-05-14, version 1.6.2*

I like game but:
it’s too demanding of time
progression is really slow

### 1/5 — Not a Puzzle Game

*2025-05-26, version 1.6.2*

I have yet to find a puzzle in this game.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2025-04-29, version 1.6.2*

How does anyone think this is entertaining??? There are no “Puzzles” either, as it says there are.

### 1/5 — Still awaiting developer response

*2025-01-09*

I like the game, however.... I can prove you are artificially crippling the main mechanic to boost IAPs. The "Zzz" -> "wake up" -> "Zzz" cycle is handicapped by some sort of artificial, slightly randomized delay, designed to frustrate the user to the point of spending money. There is absolutely no valid reason for the tapping of, say 20 times should take longer than 5 seconds. Animations are done, and the other elements in your game NEVER exhibit this behavior. I know you are "just" a two man team and don't plan any further updates, however, I am an engineer with nothing better to do, and have made an analysis using high speed photography and debugging. I find this to be in very poor taste, and therefore suggest IAPs from this developer be boycotted until the issue is resolved. I would have gladly paid to support you guys, but I can't support shifty coding.

### 1/5 — Permantly soft locked myself

*2024-07-09, version 1.5.5*

Yeah uhm congrats I guess but I lost all progress

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2023-07-15, version 1.5.4*

Stupid

### 1/5 — 嘘をつくな

*2022-08-18*

日本語対応なんかしていないのにしていると嘘をついています。英語が読める人にしかオススメ出来ません。

### 1/5 — Not great

*2022-04-03, version 1.5.4*

This game isn’t helping me a lot and I don’t know what to do

### 1/5 — 한국어 변경 어케 합니까?

*2022-04-02*

아무리 찾아봐도 보이질않아

### 1/5 — Very frustrated

*2021-03-12, version 1.5.2*

I love this game and have been playing it constantly. However I have had an issue with the game not working after I have progressed up to a certain point. This has happened twice now. The game just stops working. I cannot get back into it. The second round I was quite happy with my progress. I had about 17 diamond trophies, a high score on the funky bus that was 228. And I had 10 regions ready for the time machine. Then my game crashed. My game wouldn’t work. I thought saving the game on the cloud would save my progress. So after a week of not being able to get into the game I deleted it and re downloaded. And now I have to restart for the third time. I am frustrated and annoyed. I also had spent the 4.49 in app purchases and re downloading didn’t give me the purchase back. I don’t know why this keeps happening. Please help

### 5/5 — To who ever made this game

*2026-08-19, version 1.6.2*

This is absolutely the best game I’ve ever played absolute cinema I can’t spread the word but this game needs a add

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-18, version 1.6.2*

I love the game it is so much fun  and has so many activities!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — 1

*2026-08-11, version 1.6.2*

best game

### 5/5 — The only game I’ve ever rated

*2026-08-05, version 1.6.2*

Best puzzle animal game ever. I’m not a gamer by any stretch but this game is adorable. And there’s so much to do when I run out of coins for rescue missions I can put hats on animals or decorate their habitats or buy them balls 🏀 ⚽️ for enrichment. And if you touch the screen in their own they will walk flock to you 🥹 (except the cat.  The cats do what they want like real cats) It’s so thoughtfully done.

### 5/5 — I love Disco Zoo

*2026-08-02, version 1.6.2*

It is very fun I love rescuing animals and how people rate the zoo and give some cash. I do have trouble making money sometimes but I still don’t care.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-07-29, version 1.6.2*

On an off player for over a decade. Love this game and off of the games from this developer

### 5/5 — I love Disco Zooooo

*2026-07-27, version 1.6.2*

This game has changed my life. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — It’s a fun game

*2026-07-21, version 1.6.2*

It’s calm and there are only ads when you need them so I like that a lot, I would recommend this game for anyone who likes mini puzzles and just wants to unwind

### 5/5 — Great game ngl (not from a bot)

*2026-07-18, version 1.6.2*

I don't think I've ever actually given an app a review, but this game is actually enjoyable. Ads are optional and up to you if you want to watch them to claim a reward, the premise is straight forward, engaging shapes of animals. 10/10

### 5/5 — timeless game

*2026-07-11, version 1.6.2*

i’m reaching 20 and i’ve been playing this game off and on since i was 8 years old. this game is for anyone and fun for everyone. i’m currently in my most recent Disco Zoo phase and i’ve gotten further than i ever have before. thanks Disco Zoo!
