About this game

It's time to Build a Zoo! Construct and decorate enclosures, buy and breed animals, hire zookeepers and vets... then try your hand at DNA splicing, and stitch together over 300,000 different types of animal. This can only go smoothly...

Pros & Cons

Pros

Large animal roster supports hybrid creature experimentation.
Approachable, relaxed introduction to zoo management.
Cute pixel art and humorous writing shape presentation.
Flexible tools support creative zoo layouts and decoration.
Extensive unlockable content supports breeding and zoo expansion.

Cons

Menus become cluttered as zoo management systems expand.
Facility expansion and resource management become repetitive over time.
Many overlapping systems complicate zoo management.
Management systems offer less strategic depth than their feature list suggests.
