What Makes Idle Star Zoo: Universe Tycoon Stand Out
Imagine 64 animals of all types, from the relaxed capybara to the majestic Phoenix, living freely and happily with their young inside a huge alien spacecraft created to protect our fauna.
That's the goal of Idle Star Zoo. But first you have to save them all!
SAVE THE ANIMALS!
Travel across Earth's continents and rescue all the helpless little animals: from the most common to mythical ones like the Dragon and the Unicorn!
KEEP THEM HAPPY!
Lots of animals make a lot of mess! Upgrade your habitats and keep them clean at all times. Oh, and don't forget to take good care of your animals because they need a lot of love!
EXPAND YOUR HABITATS!
The more animals you save, the more coins you earn and the more habitats you can unlock, so everyone can be together, safe and happy in your zoo!
COMBINE THE ANIMALS!
Habitat full? No problem! You can merge five of the same animal to generate an even cuter version of it!
HAVE FUN WITH MINIGAMES!
In addition to the satisfaction of saving those in need, you can enjoy lots of fun minigames!
Ready to save all the animals? Play Idle Star Zoo and make that dream come true!

Community Insight:
Love it just one thing we kinda like cant ever buy the legendary thing so if you guys would make it like 13 that would help so much we put five stars because its so good.
It we good and not born it Is fun.
We need more animals and planets? Why not dinosaurs and other creatures too? Why not fish and other creatures like aquariums and hundreds of more species.
We love the game but we will like to care more of animals.
We were just playing like normally when suddenly our screen turned white and coding filled our screen, after clicking through some of the options we showed information on our phone and such, not sure what happened but everytime we reopen the app its still there, please help get this code off our screen so we can play again.
We love this game and recommend if you like zoo games or side tasks, we adore the mini games and want to give these creators a hi five! Double thumbs up for these guys.
Good game overall but we still dont know how to Merge Animals.
Im genuinely surprised how bland and flavorless the games music is with such lovely and unique graphics. Lets see if the gameplay loop is fun enough to keep us going in spite of playing on mute :( hit us up if yall want music that sounds more like how this game looks.
We would recommend this game to an age of any audience. You can play offline too although you have no ads.
The game is about animals and rescueing them and bringing them to your zooo we just got a panda its so cute and we love the mini games too.
Its not the best its really complicated and personally we dont understand this.
This game is amazing because capybara.
OK SO IM BEING KEEPING TRACK OF THIS GAME FOR A MOUNTH NOW AND EVERYTIME IT NEVER LET ME PLAY.
So basically when the event arrived, it wanted us to download its files, so we do so and it says No Connection. We tried refreshing the app, and the Halloween files wouldnt pop up again. We really want to play the Halloween event.
We played for about 2 months now, when we logged on today, all of our animal production thingys were in the negatives!. Help would be appreciated.
We really love this game but make the game less pixelated.
The animals look so cute and its Just like rodeo stampede but you use Money to get animals in your closures.
The game seemed semi fun so we put some money into it. We purchased the VIP membership which gives you some items and seven days of bonus items. We received four days of bonus items before the game told us our VIP membership ended and we needed to renew it. $10 for one week of VIP is insane enough as it is, but in reality they dont actually give you what you pay for and its even worse. Total scam, dont bother playing it and if you do absolutely DO NOT make in app purchases because you will get scammed.
We love this game so much! Its really fun and interesting and this is the perfect game. Ive been looking for a game out of this world and so far this is the best game yet. :).
We love this game so much! Its so fun to bread the animals to get baby animals, and the capybara game is absolutely amazing! We dont normally like zoo games because they dont rise up to our standards on how to take care of animals, but this game took our standards and made them possible and more! We absolutely love it.
The runaway animal should be easier also we need prehistoric animals like dodos and dinos.
The game is fun and definitely one of the best idle games Ive played in a while, however it is very time consuming unless you spend real money. Im not saying its pay to play but it will take you a very long time to get anywhere in this game because of the in game currency system. Your habitats will generate more money with the amount of animals you have and leveling up. But the amount that each new animal costs or next upgrade costs is an insane exponential increment. Basically to the point that you have to spend real money or be on the app 24/7. And we know it does say its an idle game but you have to come back at least every hour or the cleanliness of the habitats will be zero and they will not generate currency. Overall its a decent game but not really what we expected of an idle game.
It wasnt even a choice as to whether our information would be given to 3rd parties. Just that if you move forward youre agreeing. We think not. Are we still giving away our information to 3rd parties? Yeah.. We know most companies are doing this without even asking, but why in the world would we agree knowingly to that either? We think not.
