Also I wish you could add male lions to your pride and also add more lionesses too. It would be nice if the cubs were more realistic and they could hunt with you. Other wise, it’s fun. I would give it four stars but because of those bad things, I give it three. 🦁 ### 2/5 — No water,no change.😿 *2023-03-11, version 1.1* The water is so far away it takes up all your energy 5 times! Also, you can’t change characters to save your life!!!!!!!!👎🏼 ### 3/5 — love it but… *2021-11-14, version 1.1* I love the game I like how the sky looks like when it day time but..there should be a way to play as one of the other lions in my pride. So we don’t have to be a male ALL the time. And a way to play as one of the cubs. And there should also be a way to name the lion that we’re playing as! And the cubs..and the rest of the pride! If you guys fix this then I will give you a five star rating! Thx!!!😍🤩 ### 2/5 — YOU CANT JUMP *2021-06-13, version 1.1* You can’t jump ### 2/5 — Kinda Bad *2020-07-25, version 1.1* Graphics not as realistic as the real thing. ### 4/5 — Lion games rule *2020-02-01, version 1.1* This game is okay it will take a little while to get used to it but it is fun ### 5/5 — Good I guess *2019-03-09, version 1.1* It lags and u only run for like 3 seconded u should be Abel to really see the lions mate thx ### 3/5 — Na ja *2018-04-12* Im Moment funktioniert es nicht aber sonst ist es geil ### 4/5 — Question *2017-07-11, version 1.0* How do u pair and have cubs do u have to find a mate without a mate I find games boaring also ALL THE ANNIMALS GANG UP ON ME AHHHHHHH ### 5/5 — The best part about loins has cool fur *2016-12-16, version 1.0* I love predators because that fight hard and there names are the best you should LOVE them too like me I love to right so much this story is made by Lily ### 5/5 — Only a boy?! *2016-11-21, version 1.0* I LOVE this game.

I mean, I appreciate the effort, but..... do not buy this game. It's not worth it. It may LOOK amazing, with the pictures and stuff...but... it's not worth it. I can tell this is probably one of Gluten Free Games' very first sims... because well... it's pretty bad. I'm sorry for giving you guys a bad review and I don't mean to be rude, but... this stinks. And this was written by a cat/animal LOVER. But Gluten Free Games.. I am actually proud of you! You went from this sim, to Ultimate Wolf and Beyond. I'm very proud of you Gluten Free Games. Very proud. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2015-12-23, version 1.0* I thought this would've been a newer game but it's soooooooo old.

So can you pls fix this thx ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can you please make these games free just a little free…………:… and also can you give it some updates *2025-06-08, version 1.1* And I was saying, please make these games free to say little free and also can you give us some updates if you the owner check what I was saying what’s the game 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Great job! *2024-10-06, version 1.1* I like it so much I just love that it shows your health and your food and you water and you energy and I love my mates and the cubs are just so darn cute! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!!!!! *2023-12-12, version 1.1* My lion has a mane he does the hunting but only the females (lionesses ) do the hunting. that lion ate a lot of cheetahs, crocodiles, elephants, gazelles, giraffes, hippos, rabbits, rhinos, squirrels and warthogs. He even took down 3 gazelles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the king of the jungle (it is very strange because they don’t live in jungles.) when took down 3 gazelles he had the claws, the bites, the mane, the predator and the prey. He is smarter than gazelles because he caught his supper. Tasty meal. ### 5/5 — The Lion King 1994 *2023-11-24, version 1.1* Good game I love it ### 5/5 — Dum *2022-09-17, version 1.1* I need to know if you have any plans for the game tonight ### 5/5 — Please make updates *2020-09-22, version 1.1* Hey! I love this game but there are a few updates to consider. 1#. Make it so males and females can try to take your spot 2#. Make it so that way we can have a Massive lion pack like in the lion king 3#. Maybe make it so the lionesses can stay pregnant after you have 19 Cubs like in the Lion King 4#. Make it so animals can come to the pride rock and make a hole inside so you can watch the circle of life begin 5#. Make hyenas in the Pride Land that will become aggressive when you come into the Pride Lands 6#. Make it so that way we can have up to 19 Cubs at once. Hope these ones will make it to the game in October 2020. ### 5/5 — Omg *2020-05-23, version 1.1* I love this game I need another game a saber tooth tiger Please ### 5/5 — When I watch The Lion King I started to download games about Lions. *2020-02-02, version 1.1* Can you Please Update a Tiger please bc sometimes I thought the Cheetah is the Tiger and remember to update the Cheetah colors bc I just thought it’s was a Tiger. And plz Update a bear, Wolf, Wild dog, And plz Update a some Male Lions born and grow up Lions please. ### 5/5 — I love this game but ... *2019-11-01, version 1.1* There needs to be hyenas and make it seem more real like you can here your roar and you can carry your cubs and stuff like that ### 5/5 — Lion-tastic! *2019-09-21, version 1.1* I love getting new skins. And that watering hole by my den. But I wish we could name the lions and play as the cubs. I like to hunt the giraffes.
