Community Insight:
And we were saying, please make these games free to say little free and also can you give us some updates if you the owner check what we were saying whats the game 5.
We like it so much we just love that it shows your health and your food and you water and you energy and we love our mates and the cubs are just so darn cute.
We need to know if you have any plans for the game tonight.
Hey! We love this game but there are a few updates to consider. 1#. Make it so males and females can try to take your spot 2#. Make it so that way we can have a Massive lion pack like in the lion king 3#. Maybe make it so the lionesses can stay pregnant after you have 19 Cubs like in the Lion King 4#. Make it so animals can come to the pride rock and make a hole inside so you can watch the circle of life begin 5#. Make hyenas in the Pride Land that will become aggressive when you come into the Pride Lands 6#. Make it so that way we can have up to 19 Cubs at once. Hope these ones will make it to the game in October 2020.
Can you Please Update a Tiger please bc sometimes we thought the Cheetah is the Tiger and remember to update the Cheetah colors bc we just thought its was a Tiger. And plz Update a bear, Wolf, Wild dog, And plz Update a some Male Lions born and grow up Lions please.
There needs to be hyenas and make it seem more real like you can here your roar and you can carry your cubs and stuff like that.
We love getting new skins. And that watering hole by our den. But we wish we could name the lions and play as the cubs. We like to hunt the giraffes. And new updates pls.
This game is okay it will take a little while to get used to it but it is fun.
Im a fan of lions but we wish you could be a lioness. Also we wish you could add male lions to your pride and also add more lionesses too. It would be nice if the cubs were more realistic and they could hunt with you. Other wise, its fun. We would give it four stars but because of those bad things, we give it three.
We love the game we like how the sky looks like when it day time but..there should be a way to play as one of the other lions in our pride. So we dont have to be a male ALL the time. And a way to play as one of the cubs. And there should also be a way to name the lion that were playing as! And the cubs..and the rest of the pride! If you guys fix this then we will give you a five star rating! Thx.
The water is so far away it takes up all your energy 5 times! Also, you cant change characters to save your life.
Graphics not as realistic as the real thing.
Our title is right this a very old and non realistic game and it should be called lion king game because everything is BASED ON THE LION KING ONLY! So dont get the very old games please The medium and new games.
We hate the game so much but it is horrible we just hate the game it is so bad it is horrible.
It doesnt matter if you dont drink or eat enough if your new and when it gets old it starts to get more of a savage or something but not fun so far its copying Lion king to cause theres pride rock but when you get three lioness and 2 cubs its hard to play dont believe those people who say the game is good you wont like it you hardly get to have fun oh its hard all right trust us you wont like it we give 1 star its that bad pls dont play people must fix it up a little a little more work into the game makes it better am we right we mean like theres some Bugs but we still vote on Roblox and Minecraft are better.
We love predators because that fight hard and there names are the best you should LOVE them too like us we love to right so much this story is made by Lily.
We LOVE this game. But we have 1 problem. We want to be a girl. And we want a den that can go inside the rock like the lion king. And the animals obey you. But… IT IS GREAT.
We really want an update so it will be like the ultimate lion simulator but only have there be other lion prides and have unlimited lions and have the Cubs grow up but everything else is good other than the map is to small so please make the map bigger and have more lion dens to.
We love it SO much you should make a tiger and deer simulator.
WHEN U LET DA HORSE OUT you said today but WHEN TODAY we have no face book TELL MEH.
Can't wait for ultimate lion sim! And if we said we're not existed then we would be lion.
Love this game, but it's a little bit glitchy, and there should be other prides, and rouge males, and more animals.
Well we thought you put other prides like other lion prides and cheetah prides and wolf packs and when you go to the prides or den (if the whole pride or den is sleeping) you can steal the Cubs or pups and raise them your self and you can be a female and you can have two lions and three lionesses and 19 Cubs and the lionesses can stay pregnant for four hours (in real time too) and you can sleep inside the pride rock there will be a hole in order to go in the pride rock and you can watch time pass and pick things up with your mouth even pick up your Cubs and lionesses and strand your lionesses if you choose to.
Love this game . But maybe u could add that u have to fight other males for territory and your pride . ( example), if the other male (males) win they get to keep your lionesses and the cubs . But if you win then you get to keep the other male 's lionesses and cubs. Also u can have more male lions to help protect your pride. We got all these ideas from a show on Animal Planet called Big Cat Diary, it's a show about lions , leopards and cheetahs in the wild . For the future please use big cat diary to help u create simulater games.eo.
There is no jump button, the speed button lasts a little while until you have to press it again, and plus did we mention that you can't jump.
We like the game the best part in it is the pride rock the only thing we do on the rock is we go to the top and a roar just like in the movie the lion king where the lion roars.
This game is really great we really recommend it it's actually really fun and awesome we mean who doesn't want live as a powerful animal!!!!!! =-).
Your app is one of the many simulators we have. Which would be every single one out there!! But we have an idea for another one; A Parrot Simulator!! Now we know what your thinking… "Ya ya, another app out there doing nothing but being played lazily". But just sit there and think about it. Being a majestic parrot out there in the amazon!! Being able to fly around the tree tops, live in the trees, have a flock on birds!! Rise hatchling!! How awesome would that be.
We love it but we have a little trouble on attacking animals but we love it will they make a update.
We like this game but needs an update some new animal sim like orca sim or cat sim like you are on the street and you have to find an owner an they take you to there home and you find an mate and leave your home have kittens then come an your owner takes care of you and your mate an your kittens and your owner buys you stuff.
It's awesome! It is so much fun to do. So who ever created this games must have put a lot of time and work to it.
We love this game but when we stared we didn't know how to control the lion and for the cheeta we can't find a rock for our wife in the game it's actual pretty hard to find a rock so we think you should really. Put the rock when you get the game theres a rock right next to you.
This app is amazing! We'd relly like it if u put the stay features and follow features in ur other apps. Also, PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ Make a stray dog sim and a stary cat sim too. And make it so it can snow andu can turn it on and off. We luv all ur apps and have bought a TON so plz plz PLZ make a cat and dog one PLZ!!!!:):):):).
We feel like we're in the movie lion king but without all of the drama.
We love it but can you make a rat simulator? Im a fan of rats and we love them.
This is an amazing game, exactly what we've been looking for. You should make more simulator games. Have games like ostrich simulator, elephant simulator, dog simulator, cat simulator, cow simulator, sloth simulator, panda simulator, rhino simulator, giraffe simulator, and a lot more.
This is going our way we eat evrey animal we love our pride of lions thanks for making this game and all others.
Gorilla simulator, Komodo dragon simulator, sperm whale/whale simulator, squid simulator, dog simulator, monster simulator:yeti,bigfoot,werewolf,vampire, bull simulator, buffalo/bison simulator, snake simulator mosasaurus sim, megalodon sim, bird sim, bug sim, leapord sim, elephant sim, liger sim etc please at least do the first three.
The game overall is fantastic. It's one simulator that was actually done right. It combines cool lions and lionesses, and takes a bunch of things people have been asking for in other games (fighting, drinking, having a pack, herd, or something like that). You will love it so much because not only can you have a pride, but you can also have cubs.
This game is amazing , but can u update it Plz like the cheetah one , give it more conflict leopards, cheetahs, hyenas , jackals and wild dogs.. And rogue males other lion prides. And change the white color Plz to pure white mane and body. We love this game a lot , and the whole idea of animal sims is a dream come true. Rlly hope u can update this one , and Plz the fox one , wolf one, tiger one and bear all like the cheetah update plz .. And ideas for more animal sims like hyena sim, jackal sim, african wild sim, Leopard sim , cougar sim, coyote sim, gorilla sim, buffalo sim, deer sim, polar bear sim, baboon sim, snow leopard sim , dingo sim, rhino sim, we would buy all those sims ur amazing creative keep up the good work.
We're confused how many lionesses can u get to join ur pride? And we think the zebras gazelle and cheetahs should from u and not attack that is not realistic other than that this game is perfect we love u gluten free games.
We love this game but it needs bug fixes and wider territories/more pride members.
How many ppl can u get in ur pride?And u should add other prides and make the map a bit bigger but overall great game.
BEST GAME EVER!!!!!! Love it so much ruling the pride land with our pride who just had a baby!!! Love this game.
If you love lion king then this is the game for you we are one ourselves and we loved this game.
There should be other male lions that can take your females or female. So you'd have to keep the male lions away so they won't do that.
We love this game it also reminds us of the lion king. Good job to the makers of this game :).
Your games are AWESOME but could you pleas make a cat and dog simulator that would be sooo cool.
This is the perfect game for us!!!!! We loooooooove lions they are one of our favorite animals.this game reminds us of lion king.
This is the best simulator game yet!!! We could play this all year with out playing a different game!! Just a few things can u make there be different animals and the map bigger plz and caves and stuff plz oh and hunters ;).
