Incredible Zoo

Although it’s pretty cruel to keep animals locked away from their natural habitats, at least they should be cared for at the zoo, in order to make their stay more pleasant. Besides food and water, animals also require a place that’s big enough to accommodate their needs, and that depends on the animal in question. Hence, while rodents might not need too much space, elephants wouldn’t be too happy in a small cage.

Incredible Zoo is a time management game in which your purpose is to take care of the animals and make sure the zoo is turning a profit. By doing so, you are also attracting more and more visitors, which brings more cash into your pockets. It’s not an original gameplay formula, but if you enjoy time management flicks and you do not mind doing the same things over and over again, this could certainly work.

You start with only a handful of animals, and each one of them has specific needs and preferences you must adhere to. Zebras prefer hay and fruit, while giraffes may desire an orange every now and again. Other animals have other tastes as well, not to mention the fact that you also have to give them water, or even sprinkle it on them if they are not accustomed to the climate.

Although the animals are automatically added to your zoo once you manage to reach certain levels, you can still use the money you make on upgrades. There are plenty of them to try out, and they all have their upsides and downsides, depending on how you look at them. Thus, whether you want to gain more money by feeding a specific animal, or you want to be able to carry more things at once, you can acquire these power-ups at the store.

The graphics are not bad either, but they’re not very impressive either. It’s a shame that the levels don’t change very often either, because it gets boring to look at the same environment level after level. Obviously, the zoo expands and grows over time, but the process is very slow, especially if you do not manage to pass all the levels from the first try.

In the end, Incredible Zoo is not the perfect example to get you interested in time management games, but it can be a welcomed addition to the library of a die hard fan. It features enough content to keep you busy for quite a while.
