Was great until the new update

This game was cute and relaxing and simple to play. They decided to update it today…it’s now ugly and confusing. Super disappointing.

It’s ok

New update is not good. Got rid of a lot of my progress. Very pay to win

Loved it till the update

Was really enjoying this game until this morning when I saw the most recent update. Very glaring redesign less relaxing more obnoxious styling. Unfortunately unlikely to continue using. Such a bummer.

Disappointing update

Incredibly disappointed in the update. Font changes, fine. Different view for upgrade path, fine. Making things much harder to upgrade?! Why? I was enjoying the idle game as a passive way to collect animals. I had gotten all the way to the second last restoration. I have been spending the energy according to upgrade where needed and haven’t had enough in 3 weeks for the next landmark… now you’ve gone and made it harder to restore?! No thanks. I’m done. Deleting.

Update SUCKS

I have been playing this game for two months, and found it incredibly relaxing. Until, this new update. It is awful. It has a weird clear iPhone vibe, completely unlike the original. Not to mention everything is more expensive, so all the hard work I put into gaining money and upgrading was delayed probably another month. Hate the new update, which sucks cuz I loved the game. Incredibly disappointing.

Hate new update - and why have all my upgrades disappeared?

The app was updated this morning and I had to spend time re-unlocking all of my quest upgrades.

Also new look of the app is really ugly, please bring back the old version!

SO CUTE

I love all of the animals and the art style

Great game, but lacking content

I love this game, and it’s super relaxing, but once you unlock the rainforest, there isn’t much else to do actively anymore. I wish there would be more regular updates with new landmarks, and not just new islands for purchase (which have also been very limited as well) Because of this, there isn’t much use of energy and hearts past a certain point, so the game starts to feel a bit worthless to continue to play.

Great job :D

I personally, love the game. It’s really well designed, and very unlike other ‘calming’ games, catches your attention long enough for you to actually be calm with the game. I had to store it away for better storage on my phone though, because I stopped playing since every time I tried to open it, it would crash, but it seems they’ve fixed that bug in the pasts like year and a half I haven’t played so lol, anyways, it’s a great game, really appreciate it!

overstimulating

i get this is supposed to be a relaxing game, i played for about an hour and the constant pop ups and screaming for attention flashy buttons just ruin this whole game. not to mention there is constantly some sort of money ploy, which i get the game has to make their money but for a, “relaxing game” you would hope it didn’t look like a casino flashing in your face

pay to win

you won’t get far without paying

Beautifully created

Beautiful art style and graphics, the animals are adorable, the transactions are optional and don’t take away from the game itself if you’re not wanting to spend money, I don’t find anything unfair or game altering is behind a paywall which is nice because so many games are pay to play nowadays, ads are also optional which is admirable as heck considering most games are chalk full of ads nowadays and it would be easy to do that with money in mind. This game is beautifully created it feels like it was made with the players in mind and I think that’s something you don’t see often enough anymore. Most games are money grabs and carbon copy art styles and game ideas, this style and idea feels unique and fresh and it feels like it was created FOR you as a player. So sweet. Only thing I’m a bit bummed about is that of course my favourite animal of all time is one of the few behind a paywall which is understandable but it just sucks because I downloaded the game originally seeing the ads of the orca 🥹🥺😩

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

This is the most beautiful game ever!!!! Everything is amazing but.. the fact you have to buy EVERYTHING. I feel like you should give newer players a random free animal!! Anyways great game. (Oh needs fall and Halloween vibes, you should do Fall setting, winter setting, summer setting, and spring setting)

Ehhh

I don’t like how it has animals that are real add some mithical animals

CASH GRAB

I havent played for 5 minutes and every 2 seconds they throw an animal at you locked behind paywall. Not relaxing at all.

You unlock duck - they want you pay for ducklings. Unlock bear - pay for this special bear! Unlock fox - pay for nine tailed fox!!

Not only that but pay to remove ads and pay for season pass.. ridiculous

DO NOT RECOMMEND

Soooooo good

I love this game there is a a lot person can do without having to spend money or anything. and it is a nice relaxing game. I recommend it to all ages. I don’t know why the age rating says that but I think it’s good for younger ages

OMG!

This is one of the best games ever! Great animation, cute animals, makes you feel like you’re really there! So much to do and enjoy! Watch as your island grows and grows! The game keeps getting the money you get from the landmarks when you’re off which I don’t know if depletes the battery, but other than that it’s a great game!

Adorable but issues :(

The way the animals move and just generally LOOK is completely adorable AND I GOT A FROGGGGG (i love frogs more than is likely healthy) but after a while for some reason it stopped me getting the point thingys to get the next island and the amount i had was never enough even after literal weeks of trying. Eventually I couldn’t actually get into the app. It just kept loading forever and never actually loaded the game.

5/5 game

It’s so good i’ve had it for awhile, some animals you have to pay for but lots of cute ones can be earned through event games and you can buy families, it’s adorable. One problem i’ve had is all my photos were deleted? I also wish we could name the animals that would be great, but other than that it’s so fun and adorable! i defo recommend.

Ads on ads

Thanks!

If you want to play the game, better spend 15USD to remove ads or you will be watching more ads than playing the game, and it's by a lot.
