Community Insight:
The only thing are things that are glitching.
When do yall plan on remaking this one? Its cool but some things lag and you only get the option to be a spotted hyena unless you play as another yeen that you bond with. Im not even sure if there is any other specie beside the striped and spotted.
This game is soooooo good!!! You should totally get this! Hyenas are our favorite animal and in this game you get to fight other animals, raise a hyena family, and much more! :).
It was bright day. So we decided, we should go on a walk with us, our mate and our 1 Day newborn cub. So thats what we did. We walked for an hour or so and then we decided, Its gettin pretty dark out here, we should go back to our den. So thats what we tried to do We were almost there when we heard vultures. Its Fine we thought. We have nothing to worry about. And then the vultures heard us and swooped down to attack us! We started running and then more animals attacked us. Thats when us, our mate and our cub got separated. We squealed in fear trying to call our mate but he was to far away to hear us. And then finally, we started to attack back we killed some of them but they where to powerful! And with that we were dead. Suddenly, we woke up back in our den. It was mid morning. Our mate and cub were sleeping. Its ok. We thought, It was only a dream we looked into the distance. Right? The End thank you for reading this we love this game and we also love hyenas there so fascinating and we were even Shenzi in one of, The Lion King Kids Plays at MTC studios.
We love this game so much because every time we play we just try to set a goal to get a level (Which we usually achieve) also there is a rare skin that you can only find on an other hyena. It has a mane with a white stripe down the throat and to the belly. We really like the natural disasters and we could only imagine what the hyenas would do if it were real.
This game exceeds expectations and you pick up right from where you left off, find a den for your clan of hyenas and the game improves.
We love how you put the flood after we rains the game is not to realistic but it is awesome we hope you can make an ultimate hiena sim 2.
We love this game, we really do, but, we just started and there's like a ton of missions. Also how do you get a mate we're still confused about that but yea, just wanted to put that out to ya.
We just cant get enough of this game. We might even play it on our channel. We love when you attack the lions its and you get a perfect pounce on all of them! We can not wait to have babies in this game! Overall perfect game.
We want to have our mate be pregnant before having a kitten or Im pregnant before having a kitten.
We were fighting a lion with our mate we killed it.
We were sitting by the river. Our pups were playing around by the waters edge. We looked over at our pups in amusement. Our mate was stretched out in the sun looking very comfortable. Then suddenly! A crocodile burst out of the water snapping her jaws together. She looked at us, her eyes gleamed evilly. Ah, a good meal of hyenas just laying lazily out in front of us! What a feast! We whirled around to bare our teeth at her. How dare you! We snarled. She smirked at us. Who are you? We demanded. Our name is Longtooth, and who are you? We frowned at her. But just as we did. She lunged at us. We yelped in surprise. We clawed at her eyes and she let out a hiss of fury. She then tried to snatch Dagger up in her jaws. Dagger is one of our female pups. Dagger yelped in terror and tried to run away. Get away from her! We snarled. We lifted up our paw and smacked them as hard as we could into one of her larger teeth. Suddenly, it came free! Longtooth let out a shriek of pain, she staggered back. We picked up the tooth on the ground. Longtooth staggered and then collapsed into the river and swam away. We soon took thin vines and put the tooth on it. We made ourselves a collar. The necklace with the crocodile tooth we wore was we sign we wasnt to be messed with. We went back to our den until night to hunt. The End.
So we were playing hyena simulator but then we heard this creepy deep laugh so we want to investigate so we say this weird animal it was like a cheetah with some sort of liquid on it we went to fight it but our screen turned black then we saw the message we WANT TO PLAY then we want to tell our grandpa but then it disappeared then we saw a picture of the cheetah with glowing white eyes…. Review:we think this game is pretty nice we love the graphics and the animal you thought of its our favorite animal thanks.
This game is really good but we think you should update the game, the last time you updated the game was 2 YEARS AGO! We also have a question how do you get a pack.
Us and our family, the 3 of us, we were running around for food. We were doing our daily basics, we were hunting some elephants, we killed the herd and we got a whole feast with 3 hyena clans that were related to us. We are a mother of 1 cub. Our mom and dad are leaders of 2 clans that were brought together that has our aunt in the one that was not our birth clan but the all the 3 clans were related and we ate the alpha elephant first. A 10 hyena clan came to steal our food and territory. We all started to fight. We were scared for our life and our mate came in front of us and our 10 month old cub and he killed the Queen female of the strange clan. And all the unknown hyenas ran off very far that we got to eat 5 hyenas and 10 elephants that lasted for 10 weeks. On the last week we were attacked by 1 no mad and 1 female no mad. It took 10 hyenas for the 2 lions to get defeated but we added more, we let our baby join the kill party and we came with her. We killed the 2 lions and thats the end and we had a giant feast.
If your looking for true honest games heres one and if you love animals then its great for you Im a beginner and we can already tell Im going to love.
Please make some bosses to prove your strength. Like an elder lion.
Will you make a gorilla sim pleases.
We are dying for a crocodile simulator.
This game is amazing enough to write a review. Yes at first it was kinda boring… Keep yourself imagining and youll be fine! Then after you get a mate and a cub the game is so, so, so, so, so, so much fun!!! No we wouldnt suggest having this as your one and only game but you sure could!! This is for all Hyena lovers and for everyone who loves picking up their cub crocodiles are in a lot of places not everywhere, and there should be a online/multiplayer mod but so far even solo we love it!!! Dont judge a game by its start. Its also fun to fantasize with your cub. Like when it floods (because it does). This game is for every person who likes simulator games too. Enjoy.
So we love this game sooooooooooooooooooo much but can you do a ultimate HyenaSim please good work on this one hyenas are one of our most favorite animals we want the ultimate version to be like can you make one off the dens full of bones like the boss in UltimateLion please and please can we have six different skins for our hyena and the clan can it be up to 60 please thats all we want by the way HYENAS RULE.
You can fight with bosses and you can wild Disney character and you can fight kings.
We are a female hyena we were laying in the den with our pups en one was missing we dug a hole and put the other pups in it us and our mate ran around trying to find her then we realized she was next to a river she jumped in and was taken down stream us and our mate swam in after her we realized she was sinking we swam under water and grabbed her our mate pulled us up but sadly the pup was dead btw it's not called clan it's called cackle.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! We love it, we also love how you added natural disasters. They make it harder to find prey but much more realistic. We named a lake crocodile river cause whenever we go over a crocodile attacks us lol.
So we logged into the game and when we looked in the rewards and skins place we couldnt find anything except the grey background was this on purpose? Anyway, the game is totally awesome, we recommend it to any hyena lovers in the world :D.
One thing maybe add like a tutorial for it and put how to bond and Breed but thats all.
Their only one thing that we do not like the flood water everywhere.
One problem we have is although it is called Hyena Simulator it ONLY has the spotted hyena. You can only play as the spotted hyena too. The ONLY other hyena Ive seen is the striped hyena. Can you upgrade this game? To where you can play as the spotted hyena, striped hyena, brown hyena, and the aardwolf? And stop how easy it is to kill other animals? And add tigers? And other female hyenas? Baby tigers, lions, alligators, giraffe added? And make a forest part of the map? Where Bear and mountain lions are? And WOLVES?! And add one more other thing, make animals in packs with (sometimes) with cubs, where its difficult to kill the adult but able to steal their cub? Please do these things! Ill surely appreciate it.
Hey we just got this game and we this game but the lions are too hard to kill but otherwise its really good and guys yes we had a flood.
Unlike the Ultimate Wolf Simulator, this is extremely boring. You literally just run around and mark territory and scavenge so you can level up and get more clan members. Thats it. Theres no bosses, and all of the animals are the same. Im currently at level 66 on one of our hyenas and honestly Ive been wasting lots of time. If they could add more stuff to do then it would be much better. And for the simulator part, its much more simulating a life of a wolf then a hyena. Its literally just an exact copy of Ultimate Wolf Simulator. Has nothing to do with hyenas.
Best game ever we love all your games.
It's a very good game and also can you add a simulator it would be cool.
We love this hyena sim so much. We finally had our first cub and we're so happy. You should totally get hyena sim. We like it so much we gave it 5 stars. If you don't get this game you are really missing out on lots of fun.
We've played this game and got to level 45 but we had to delete it for space, worst decision ever. 1 year later we decide to get the game again and it won't let us! (Not that we have to pay again but it won't download) if this is because of storage space then sorry for writing this comment but we deleted a lot of other games such as goat simulator and it still won't download at all, and goat simulator is downloading fine as we speak, so please fix this, again this is nothing against the creators of the game or the game itself, if you can download it we recommend playing also the "fantasy violence and blood" is just a red puddle so it's fine to play at the age of 8-9 just saying.
Again, again! MY favorite thing is finding leftovers. Your's.
Us and mate were peacefully resting after a tough day of fighting. It started to rain we wasn't worried. The rain started get stronger we started to worry. It started to flood. Our house was filled with water. Us and our mate had to hold the pups or else they would drown. Just our luck a huge gust of wind blew by. Then a huge tornado struck us and our mate ran. The water brushing our feet aa we fled. We decided to go back to the den. We slept our pups on top of us. In the morning we were ok. We walked out and trees we scattered everywhere. Well could've been worse we thought. The end.
We really love hyenas so please can you guys make another game called "Ultimate Hyena Simulator" just like the lion and wolf. PLEEEAAAAASE.
The massive, muscular, albino, female hyena sniffed the air. She followed the scent and sound of a mating call. The mating call began to get louder and she raised her head. She saw a pure black male hyena. He.
As the Hyena Family began a new life there pup was born all snug against its mother. The savanna was dry and the clouds began to darken. Suddenly the rain began to fall and the hyenas snuggled close to keep warmth. As the rain began to fall harder the water gathered on the serface of the savanna. As the den began to flood the mother picked the pup up by the base of the neck with her mouth and her and her mate ran out of the den searching for a hill or a mountain to wait out the storm. As they ran the rain hit there eyes blinding them they could not tell between the river and the land with all the water. They kept running until they came to a rocky surface with a ledge. As they took cover they peered over the savanna watching all the animals running through the rushing flood. The plants and trees were swaying in the high winds and the rain sounded like rocks. The next morning the savanna was dry as a bone and all the water was washed away even the river. No drink but they stayed together and survived the storm. The End.
Great game we love it and we never experience any issues. We recommend.
One day it was us and our 3 cubs with our Mate. We were laying down on the side of the den and our Cubs were laying with us, our mate was laying outside on a sunny day, he saw the clouds cover the sun and it got darker. It was pouring rain our mate looked at us and said "it's gunna flood!" we got up and grabbed the youngest pup and our mate grabbed the second oldest, the oldest pup was fast enough to run with us. So we ran and we ran until we came across a large hill. The water was already above our paws and by then the pup was on our back. We climbed up the Rock and set the pups down and we went back down and got the third pup. Us and our mate stood on the hill with our adorable pups right in front of us. The water went back down 3 hours later and we went back home. We nuzzled our pups and Layed down with them.
We really need help trying to have pups if doesn't say anything how to have them so we really need help.
We love this game this is the best game we ever played! We just have one problem. It's so hard to find another hyena for your clan! We see a lot of other animals but not hyenas. Plz fix this in your next update, Gluten Free Games.
We just had a pup and it's the cutest thing ever .we love how the hyenas have different textures. But nothing else in the game is a baby but we still love the game. In ultimate wolf simulator you get to be the baby. Hyena simulator is still the best.
We were going on a peaceful stroll with only our son. Our mate and daughter were guarding our cave. Our son and we enjoyed a wonderful giraffe meal that we had pounced on. Then, rain poured from the sky and thunder boomed loudly, making us shudder. We twisted around and, horrified, we saw water rushing quickly towards from the river! It was a flash flood! It didn't take long for our feet to be surrounded by water! We urged our son to follow us to a high rock where we would be safe from the flood. We thought of our mate and our newborn daughter, and we knew we had to help them. So, we leapt off our rock and zoomed to them. Sure enough. Our cave was flooded. They followed us back to our son on the rock and we climbed on. We sat there comfortably for a while, until the winds started to pick up great speeds. It hollowed and threatened to throw us off! We looked backwards and saw it! The twister! "What awful luck!" we thought. We didn't know what to do! Risk the water? Or risk being caught in the twister? Even as we watched, a giraffe was caught in the storm, and died. We made our decision. We leapt of the rock, and our pack followed. We pushed through the water, and we realized the twister was gone! We trudged back to our cave, when a tornado formed right it front of us! Panicked, our pack sprinted around. Not sure what to do. Thankfully, we didn't have to decide. The storm lifted away, and with it, the rain, the flood, and the tornado!. THE END Recommendation time! Okay, you should TOTALLY MAKE A GIRAFFE SIMULATOR. What does that not exist yet? You would be able to customize the color of your spots and the base body color! You could also make ostrich simulator. You could customize your skin color and your feather color. It would also give you the option of boy or girl. Dynamic weather and rag doll physics would be included! And PLEASE MAKE BUDGIE SIMULATOR!!!!! You would be able to change your head and body color separately, and you would start off unable to fly, then by reaching level 2, you unlock the flying skill! Rag doll physics and dynamic weather would all be included, of course. And we were thinking maybe, there would be bosses when you reach a certain level, like a poacher when you reach level 50! THANK YOU,.
We just wish the night was a little less dark and the app picture was cartoonish. The app pic looks out of place with the realistic pic.
One day we sat in our den with our mate. We were just eating a honey badger, we then heard a loud noise, we looked to see what it was and we noticed quickly it was a storm. : just some drizzle : we thought but you know us we went out to see for sure. We went out and our mate came with us but he thought we were crazy. Then rain poured on to us and we were soaking. We ran to the closet hill and climbed the hill . We looked down and our whole world looked like a lake.. We feared our house would get destroyed . After the water died down we ran to our home. THE END.
It was a regular peaceful day at home, later it was night and it was raining a little bit. But, while us and our bond woke up to mushy gushy wet water, our fur was soaked! And water was flooding our den. We noticed it was flooding! We ran right out our den and jumped on top, but our bond was having trouble getting up and almost died! Minutes later the flood cleared up but it was still raining. Us and our bond learned our lesson to not sleep while its raining.
MAKE AN ULTIMATE HYENA SIMULATOR.
This game is amazing, we are even currently raising our second cub. Why second? Well, the first died, because of a glitch. We were showing our first cub how to hunt, and an alligator appeared and killed us. We respawned at our house, but our cub was gone, even when we pressed the button for him to go home. It broke our heart. Also, can you make a Crocodile Skink simulator? Croc skinks are our fave animal and we would give a great review and also the graphics aren't as good as we thought because with two of the hyena types looked normal, and the rest look like they're faces are lopsided. Please fix.
