### 3/5 — 録画した際に起こる不具合

*2026-04-16*

iPhone16でプレイしているのですが、プレイ中に画面収録を行うと録画の再生時にゲーム速度は通常のままゲーム音が通常より大幅にゆっくり再生されてしまいます。修正可能なら是非お願いします。

### 5/5 — これこれwww

*2025-09-23*

急にズーキーパー思い出してダメ元で検索したらヒットw
ちょいちょい酷評されてますが、ガラケーの十字キーでポチポチやってた勢からすると、むしろスマホ版めっちゃやりやすいし、懐かしさしかないw
たった160円でめっちゃ遊べるw
復刻版ありがとうございます！！！

### 1/5 — 広告が出る

*2025-09-06*

有料アプリやのに何で毎回広告が出るの？
どういう神経しとんねん

### 4/5 — トコトンモードが好き

*2025-08-16*

ガラケー時代にハマったので、100円ちょっとなら払う気になれたので払ってダウンロードしました。トコトンモードが病みつきになります。

もう一つのほうのアプリの対戦とかアイテムとかには興味ないので、こっちのアプリにして正解でした。BREAK TIMEが設けられているのも丁度良い。

通信オフにすれば広告は出ない。スコアは記録される。

### 5/5 — これがやりたかった

*2025-02-02*

操作性は確かにあんまり良くないですがガラケー時代に比べれば全然いいです😂

久々にやっても意外とクリアできるものだと思いました笑
iPhoneでもズーキーパーができて嬉しいです！ありがとうございます🥰

### 4/5 — Very fun game but…..

*2024-11-21*

I would give this game 5 stars IF it had a mode without the timer bar. I get why it’s there but I mainly play for a few minutes and I’m not interested in competing against anyone or myself.

### 5/5 — 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

*2024-10-25, version 2.1.1*

Just played the DS version and thought to myself “lets see if its on the appstore”… 😁👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 hehh spend days mnths years playing this on the DS back than… 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

### 5/5 — 個人的ベストゲーム

*2024-04-07*

しばらくやっていると安定的にエンディングまで行けるようになりました。毎回園長が優しい言葉をかけてくれるのも嬉しいですね。あえて欠点を挙げるなら中毒性がありすぎてなかなかやめられないところでしょうか。

### 5/5 — 低評価レビューが目立つが個人的には最高に面白い

*2023-03-26*

操作性が悪い、動作が重いなどの評価が目立ちますがiPhonese第二世代では感じません。(アプデでも入ったのかな？)
昔やってたズーキーパーGBA版に比べたら格段に面白いです。
特に良い点として、動物を消し、上から完全に振り終わった後も多少の連鎖の猶予時間があることです。
上から降ってくる動物によって回せる場所ができる場合は、降り終わった後に回しても連鎖がつながります。
連鎖中も回すことができるので、これによって運が良ければ10連鎖…20連鎖までも繋がることがあります。
あとNo more move率も大分上がってる気がします。ただ、No more moveの際は多少制限時間を増やして欲しかったかな…

こんなところですかね。一応トコトンモードは2700万点オーバー出してますので参考までに。
