Idea

Could the animals make their own sounds every time they’re connected? Monkeys squeal, crocs snarl, elephants trumpet,

Difficulty

It’s fun and I love the zoo decorating aspect, but with this being an arcade game, I had hoped for a more easygoing experience with the match 3 puzzles. Usually difficulty ramps up in these games to encourage people to spend to money to pass the levels. No such incentive exists for this game, and it’s more difficult than most free to play match 3’s. Replaying levels multiple times due to poor rng just isn’t fun, and I had really hoped an arcade game would just allow you to have a nice time and decorate your zoo.

So fun!

Addictive and so many mini games

Boredom Buster

So far, it’s been good game play. Levels are never ending and some puzzles are challenging. Building the zoo can be fun. I’m on level 25 of the zoo building and it’s starting in to get boring. But it will keep you preoccupied for at least 3 weeks!
Downsides: navigating the zoo like walking around is annoying. POV can be better. Please remove the pop up about maximum number of rakes. I’ve had 99 rakes for weeks. I don’t need a pop up every time saying that I’ve hit the maximum. What is the point of accumulating 99 rakes when the mini game associated with it is so easy?
