User Reviews on Idle Dino Zoo
Looking for more information? Read a comprehensive review of Idle Dino Zoo below:
We played many idle games but this one is very unique how it actually engages players to a degree rather than just sitting there constantly, also they do not joke about ad free when you do purchase that, it is absolutely ad free paying the 9 dollars. Some we played only removes banner and forced ads but you must watch despite paying ad removal so this is nice very few that do that. We would recommend playing especially if you have time to kill.
One of the best idle games out there and especially if your a Dinosaur lover.. Only thing we have to say is that the Dinos dont move around which is a let down. Might just be a bug in our game but still even with that we have to say by far this is one of the best idle games out there. Seriously other then that one issue this is so worth the time. We dont have money to purchase anything on the game because the west coast USA is so expensive lol we wish though because like we said multiple times that this game is the best out there! This is the only game that we would suggest paying real money for even though the ads are very few to begin with which is a major positive as well. Thank You for this masterpiece of a game! Pixel meets Jurassic park meets Idle! Lol If we ever do get money Im totally going to purchase the no ad ect.
We believe we wrote a review for this game a while ago, but we wanted to write another one, mostly for one reason. We still love this game. The art style and dinosaurs are what drew us to it in the first place, but the gameplay (or what there is for an idle game) is great and we havent a problem with hardly any of the mechanics. Theres lots replayability too, which is rare for an idle game, IMO. The only qualm we have is this: For the Terrain Sculpting carda card that boosts the enclosure sizesthe dinosaurs dont seem to breed beyond the base enclosure cap (before the card is put into use) when afk. Like if we upgrade an enclosure size to hold a max of 10,600 dinosaurs, the number will remain stagnant around 10,600, even though the card boosts the capacity to well beyond 10,600. We dont know if this is intentional or not? If it is, then Im unsure as to what the point of the card would be. If youre in-game, Im sure youd sell most of your dinosaurs before reaching the enclosure cap, with or without the Terrain Sculpting card. There could be a point Im just missing, though. That can happen.
We really love this game for the pixelated Dinos and how they move we like the money management and dino management we think it should be a App Store recommendation.
We love this game becuase it is funblocky and we love dinos and the best part is NO ADDS unless you click gift most of the time.
We like it so far it’s pretty fun and relatively mindless.
We loved the game, but its been over a year with Coming Soon for the zone 8 improvements. We get the impression that this game isnt going to be getting any updates, fixes or improvements at this point.
Game is great except we cannot see how much money we have. It displays behind the notch at the top of the iPhone. Its so bad it ruins the game because we dont know we can buy or what Im building to.
We love this game, we played it consistently for months and got to the point we felt like there was nothing left to do so we deleted it and played something else. We recently decided we wanted to play again however when we tried to restore our purchases it wouldnt let us. We had bought the ads removal package as-well as a couple Dino skins. If you can fix it to where we can get those back Ill change it to 5 stars.
Congratulations! You made one of the most boring games ever made! DELETE,
Just like the Idle Tap Zoo game, but with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures!
Never played an idle game but its a fun way to play without having to be engaged all the time. You can create your very own Jurassic Park with tons of different Dinos. Building the park and adding really expensive buildings and research facilities requires post-game Dino making and gives it replayability.
Great game. We find myself challenging myself to get the final Dino faster than every time before. So we prestige and prestige and we get a second faster every time. Up the rewards plz the badges gems and fossils. Its a hard but satisfying grind for us at least. Been playing this since thanksgiving and it looks like last update was 7 months ago. We hope you guys continue working on this. We’ve spent a nice 50$ and probably 50 hours on this game we hope to see more. Thanks.
We love this game and it so much fun.
We know they have to have them to make money for a free app. Here us out! They let you know before you watch it what you will get. Like 8/10 have great rewards. The rest are good, and you get a bonus for watching them on top of that!!!! Plus sometimes they pop up right as you run out of the money from the last one with another awesome reward.
This is a great game with great graphics. The only thing is you should add people walking around in the game that will be 100x better bro plz do it.
As a fellow pixle artist this games art clearly took time and work great work would love to see a pc version.
We absolutely love this game, it sparks our joy for Dinos from when we were a kid. But being able to buy the no ads to get every gift for free kind of offsets things for us. Its kind of boring when you can just purchase your progress. We do hope you keep on updating the game though.
Love the game! We think its the best idle tap game we have played. Our wife and we love the little Dino avatars youve created, we enjoy the challenge of figuring out the perfect combination of growth rates and visitor rates to maximize our parks, and we are having a blast trying to beat each other to having the best park! (Shes winning -_-) The game gave us what games like Egg Inc and Penguin Isle didnt have: actual tasks and challenges to complete. Please get the store worked out soon so we can give back to you! Thank you!
We have been seeing this game advertised for some time and finally decided to denials it. It was free and we love dinosaurs, why not? We found the graphics to be really nice, effective in this 2d sprite style. The character animation for the dinosaurs gives them a breath of life that brings back nostalgia of playing Nintendo and Sega as a kid. The Dinos look fairly accurate to real life renderings are enjoyable to look at. The tutorial is simple, and can be rewarding. The music is very calming and peaceful, we actually enjoy it quite a bit. No spamming ads and free to play, very cool little idle game. Recommended.
We play a lot of idle games but this one is something special … No forced ads , great payoffs for ads we chose to view , and the gameplay has enough angles to make it involved but not overly complicated …. Great job guys!
This game is so fun 100% recommend it.
Fun idle game but we’ve run into the problem of watching ads for gifts that we never receive. Game is good but this has happened multiple times which gets annoying.
Wish the developers would up date it. Its been 9 months.
We love this game, it has a challenging tier structure and great Dino animations. However, we were saving up our gem to buy a room and double our fossils but we woke up one day and we were missing 200 gems! Just gone! We emailed support about this but the were no help. The said we probably spent them on accident but we know we didnt. So dont go to them for help.
Look, we get that free-to-play games need microtransactions. Im not here to call for their removal. What we AM here for is to voice our concerns over the pricing of the premium currency and how often its used in the games economy. Many aspects of the game are gated behind Gems. You use Gems to buy one-time boosts, unlock cards and additional card slots, unlock alternate versions of your dinosaurs (which do provide bonuses), build extra rooms for your tower (these are the permanent upgrades), and a few more. We find it ridiculous that all these features are reliant on Gems. Id understand if only a few were, but this just seems like too many. Another thing we have a big issue with is that the currency itself is just soooo ridiculously expensive. Lets say you wanna buy the Legendary version of the Triceratops. Its 400 Gems. The closest pack in the store to 400 is 390 (because of course it is). Its $29.99 Are you KIDDING us??? Even the remove ads bundle is super expensive compared to other free games. Its $9.99! Sure, the ads in this game serve only to provide you with bonus cash (and sometimes a few Gems, if youre lucky) and the bundle itself comes with a permanent x2 mating boost, but it still isnt worth it. You can also buy an Epic Bundle for $29.99 that doubles the amount of fossils you get when you prestige and gives you 400 Gems. The only reason why this pack is even remotely close to being worth that is because like we said, ita $29.99 for 390. Its literally only valuable because the games economy is broken. We do really like this game, but this economy is just weighing it down hard. What we would suggest is allowing us to buy certain things (like the alternate skins and cards) with the fossils. This would make the fossils even more valuable and give the player more to work towards that doesnt require them to fork over money. Id be more than happy to spend a couple bucks on this game to support it, but as it stands, the value just isnt there. Thus ends our TED Talk.
Yeah, this game is pretty terrible. It advertises itself as an idle game, but you can only acquire offline resources for TWO HOURS. Thats not even enough time to sleep. There is a way you can increase the idle time but not until way later into the game. After youve collected a bunch of fossils and you buy an HQ room that permanently increased the idle time a bit. But cmon, TWO HOURS right off the bat??? Thats a terrible starting point. Not only that but the way the game works is rather strange. We’ve literally only been playing this game for a few hours and there is a birth rate and a death rate for dinos. Somehow, for whatever reason, as you progress later into the game, the death rate is HIGHER than the birth rate RIGHT off the bat when buying your first few dinos. In WHAT zoo is it more likely for an animal to die than it is for them to successfully breed? None, because theyd be shut down. If your zoo is so terribly bad at breeding a certain animal that the animal is actually more likely to die, theres something wrong there. So already within the first few hours of playing the game theres some things fundamentally wrong with it. We think that the death rate should be no more than half when it comes to the dinos. We like to think that in a zoo, literally in a controlled and (should be) safe environment, the odds between an animal dying or being born shouldnt be higher than 50/50. Realistically we think that even 50/50 is too high when it comes to breeding animals in a controlled environment. Most animals in zoos live long prosperous lives and die less frequently than in the wild. Big whoop, just upgrade the birth rate a couple times, right? No. We’ve upgraded the birth rate 10 times now and its put us back several hundred thousands of dollars and they still die instead of breed. The easiest way to fix this is to watch a bunch of ads and then you get a small boost to the breeding rate. Whats that called, kids? A cash grab. Practically forcing us to earn them money so we can progress. Not cool. Once you have 50k you can open one trade slot and you can trade one kind of dino every FOUR HOURS. And if you want to unlock another slot, its a whopping ONE MILLION? How did it go from 50k to one million? Its obvious that the economy in this game is rigged and is meant to force you to spend real life money or watch several ads in order to progress at a decent pace. To earn money from visitors at your zoo you can do things like upgrade the drink station. Thats one of the first upgrades available right off the bat, and guess how much it boosts your income per visitor? 0.02¢. Yup, less than ONE cent. Less than HALF a cent. How many visitors do you get per the first bathroom upgrade? 5. We think right off the bat the game is setting you up for failure. Since when is a drink at a zoo less than one cent? Lets just say you keep playing. You buy enough upgrades that you unlock the Information Kiosk that earns you 0.12¢ per visitor. A little over a dime. How much will it cost you for that first upgrade? 50k. Spend 50k for 10¢ aye? The earnings might actually be worth it if we didnt have to sit and stare at the screen for hours waiting for it to accumulate because we can only get 2 hours worth of offline resources at the moment. People are talking about how this isnt an easy idle game and that you have to put the work in. What work? Sit around and wait with our screen on constantly KILLING our battery the whole time until we put 100mil worth of coins into our zoo so we can sell it for only 20 fossils? You call sitting around and staring at your phone putting the work in??? Every second that we are away from the app writing this review we are losing money. Hard work isnt sitting and waiting for money to accumulate. Lol. However, we will say that more TIME needs to be dedicated to this game to make decent progress. But again, we wouldnt call that hard work. You can sell your zoo once its worth 100mil for fossils. You use these to unlock permanent buildings that boost your zoo. You only get 20 fossils for a zoo worth 100mil. So Im going to spend the equivalent or more of 100mil on our zoo for only 20 fossils? Well, if that isnt enough for you, no big deal, you can earn 25 fossils, 5 more fossils than before, if your zoo is worth ONE BILLION. If you sell your zoo for 10x more than 100mil, then you can earn 0.2x more fossils. So, 100mil for 20 fossils and 1 billion for 25? Why not just sell your zoo for 100mil 10 times and get 20 fossils each time and end up with 200 fossils? Why would that even be an option? Its idiotic in terms of financial management. Skip this one, guys. There are better idle tycoon zoo games out there. Like Happy Safari (they have prehistoric animals). Or Disco Zoo. Lets talk about how visually displeasing and boring this game is to the eyes. I, for one, LOVE pixelated art. Hence the two previous games we mentioned who do it much better. Dont get us wrong, the dinosaurs are very detailed with all the little pixels. But its the lack of animation that makes the game visually a bore. The only thing animated really is the dinosaurs that kinda bop up and down, sometimes open their mouth. Things like that. Other than the flames on the little torches at the front of the zoo that wiggle a bit. Only the dinos and the torch flames move. The trees dont move, the water surrounding the island doesnt move, there are no visitors roaming the island, no clouds moving or birds flying over head, the entire island is seemingly dead. Zoomed out really far the dinos in the enclosure are really small and you can barely even notice them moving at all. So for the most part the game just looks dead. We do still encourage work on this game. We believe it has the potential to be great. But it seems to us that its unfinished at this time. We realize this game is new, but we personally would not have released this game in its current state what with its fundamental issues.
Incredible game such a good game we just have 1 problem fossils are way to hard to get we mean like 5 fossils for 10x total money is hard we think you should buff the fossils instead of 5 20 fossils.
Nice well made game. It would be great if there was some sort of Dino pvp brawl but thats probably asking to much for an idle game.
We enjoy this game a lot. Definitely takes time to play unless you invest money into it which also helps with updates and all that. We have a huge love for dinos and these tycoon games. Makes us want to play other Dino games we have while this is on idle.
Love the concept of working for the rewards, and the graphics and music are both really fun and quirky. Only critique is the fact that you cant see the visitors in the park. Its nothing huge, but we think it would definitely add some nice charm.
Idk if you know this or not but dinosaurs werent actually lizards some maybe but most were birds just saying.
Fun game, we like it so far! We wish some of the designs were more scientifically accurate, though…
Only complaint is the game wants you to sell parks too often. Other than that its a great game for downtime.
We really enjoy the game so far. We like the art style. Only critique we have is make the font look less out of place and the ui smaller. If the font was more fitting and the ui was smaller than the game would be perfect!
Real simple mechanics so anyone can play. The dinosaurs have pretty good movement for bit design toons. Tutorial guide is kinda funny. The background music is very zen. It has some interesting ways to offer gifts. Only bug we noticed is sometimes we have to close-app to get the increase enclosure sizes to show after we buy them. But still a really nice idle game.
Awesome game! We’ve found that this developer has produced fantastic games! Each game has its own in-depth progression that you cant find anywhere else. Addictive!
It’s a fun game that’s rewarding the ads aren’t intrusive the comments are funny the dinos are neat and the gameplay itself is entertaining. A few changes would be letting us have access to Dino species for challenges or rewards like the gift ad system instead of gems and make more vibrant versions worth gems instead of the recolors. We also enjoy the fossil and sell park system. Am looking forward to more updates soon hopefully.
All in all this is a fun game, the art is nice however it is very minimal, we have 200 of one Dino and it only shows one in our pen. Does not show any guests, and animations are minimal. Worth the download but get boring fairly quickly.
We spoke with the dev on discord and hes very communicative with his players. We enjoy his games that hes made because they all have a common theme amongst them. Long term progression. They arent easy idle games at all, but theyre very satisfying and rewarding. This game is more of a put the work in as opposed to playing it once every few hours type game. Its got great mechanics and super cool art, with a LOT of zones. Its very in depth, with rewarding prestiging mechanics as well. Overall, its just a great game and it was only released a week ago. We would like for him to tune the zone 1 – zone 2 flying-meat-water dinos a bit because they feel irrelevant as opposed to the herbivores.
