Why
This game is dum
Boredom Buster
So far, it’s been good game play. Levels are never ending and some puzzles are challenging. Building the zoo can be fun. I’m on level 25 of the zoo building and it’s starting in to get boring. But it will keep you preoccupied for at least 3 weeks! Downsides: navigating the zoo like walking around is annoying. POV can be better. Please remove the pop up about maximum number of rakes. I’ve had 99 rakes for weeks. I don’t need a pop up every time saying that I’ve hit the maximum. What is the point of accumulating 99 rakes when the mini game associated with it is so easy?
Glitch at 1755
Need to beat 30 crates but only 29 available in game.
Fruit League
I love this game but Fruit League keeps demoting me saying I didn’t participate. I play everyday and do participate. Please fix.
The world of animals
The title says it!!!
Harder progression sucks
Games gets much harder as you progress to the point I try the same level 5x losing. I want an easy game with dopamine maxed. This only does that at the start.

It’s great for a game to be played on often

楽しいけど、動物園の移動時の操作性の悪さは圧巻。
#zookeeperworld
This game is very fun but feels a bit too empty. I feel like there should be more stuff and activities!
Soo cool and cute
So it has cute animals and cute people so its so amazing 😍🤩 losts of puzzles!
Bad
You have to take breaks.
Entertaining, Challenging, & Fun!
The game is pretty straightforward in the sense that it is mostly a match-3 game. I like that the puzzles are sometimes challenging, but I feel like we don't need ALL of the extras (flowers, crates, eggs, moving parts of the board, etc.). Making it a little more concise would be nice. The rewards seem fair and there are a TON of minigames. Building the zoo is like a sub-plot to the game. You dont spend much time on it unless you like to decorate. Overall, fun game to pass the time!!
制限時間のあるステージ
制限時間があるステージで動物の落下中、操作出来ないのに制限時間が減る。動物の配置もランダムで運任せ。考えるヒマもほぼ無く理不尽で面白くない。
Great game but some lags
Great game! But when my “Leader” told me to feed the animals I fed all the animals, then I tried to feed the monkeys and it wouldn’t let me feed them!
Wow
Sooooo fun!
Just not really fun
I’m not sure what the point of a game that isn’t fun is but after getting passed stage 20 or so I just found myself really disliking everything it took to get there. I guess I could see potential but this ain’t it
Amusing
This is an amusing and often very tricky game. One builds a zoo over time with block like figures and animals. However, the current update appears to have eliminated the daily challenge, which was something I enjoyed when stuck on a puzzle. Please bring it back!
701번째 스테이지 - Stage 701?
이 스테이지는 해결이 가능하긴 합니까? 중간이 이상한 스테이지들도 몇개 있긴해도 어찌어찌 가능한데 701은 힌트도 모르겠고 이상하네요. 나만 모르는건가;
Fun Game, Major Flaw
Enjoyable game: plenty to do (base game and events), solid level design, acceptable build mechanic, however, this is the most battery-hungry game I’ve ever played. It took me a week to realize that my phone was fine, but an hour of Zookeeper was equivalent to 8-12 hours of normal phone use. Yikes.
Such a fun game :)
Very cute!!
Bad habits
So you really don’t do anything I didn’t get the game at all but I played it and it has a lot of ads and you just stand around doing nothing and it’s really bad day. I don’t know other people‘s votes and they said it was really good but I think it’s really bad.😤😡
me
I love this game but I do I have to update the game to play? yes.
Runs out of levels quickly
Loved this game but in a few weeks I ran out of levels. Then a few were added each week (enough for a couple of hours play tops). For the past few weeks there have been no new levels added and no date for release. Loved the original game boy advance zoo but this isn’t a patch on it due to shortage of play modes and lack of levels to play.
Levels end at 1620
Enjoyed game but after level 1620 you can’t go any higher. There is some equipment to buy when you reach level 1625 - but you can’t get there. Frustrating
Awesome
Even Though I play Minecraft this games is TOO good
Here is why I put one star
There’s no other games that you could do in zookeeper world you could do puzzles, but some of them are too hard. Why can’t you just play games on that game? It’s boring without any other thing so I hope you apologize.
Stuck
Stage 900 seems unwinable. Can anyone help? App support seems nonexistent.
Poor puzzle design
The game is nice and well polished however it’s puzzles are designed as if it was a free to play micro transaction game. Getting the star on many levels is just pure luck, the game frequently challenges you to do specific things which are not skill based and there’s no way to guarantee they happen. Getting the star on some levels (I’m looking at you 76) is just an RNG exercise unless you spam the boxing glove etc which would make sense as a monetisation model if this was f2p, but as a premium game the puzzle design is just weak and flawed. Looks like no play testing happened on some of these stages which you might have to try 20-30 times to clear. Real shame as I love the basic premise and thing it’s a good take on “match 3”.
Major Upgrades too slow
Love this game but too slow to update the rankings. I have too many coins which I can’t spend, the zoo is full with no capacity to upgrade further. It’s been stagnant for a very long time with seemingly small upgrades.
Literal years of quirky cute fun
I love this game so much! It’s one of my favorite Apple Arcade games because there’s such a variety of puzzles and challenges to play. Designing my zoo and visiting others to see their creativity is also a lot of fun. I’ve played this game for two years and still have lots to do.
Multi event is impossible
Fix it
Loving the game life
I love the game it is so fun and interactive and it can be challenging in a fun way witch I love best game ever I
Problem with levels with time limit
The time passes while chain actions are happening and it makes some christmas event levels close to impossible to pass. I am not sure if the devs have tried the levels themselves before updating the game. Either stop the time while chain actions or happening, or allow users to make moves while during the period. With 85 second time limit but with way over 30 seconds of chain actions doesn’t leave much time to clear the level.
So much loading time
The game is good. I’m enjoying building the zoo. But the time spent looking at the screen waiting, whilst the game is ‘connecting’ is very frustrating, on occasions over a minute of waiting to connect to the server. This is whilst on WiFi so it’s not signal that’s the problem. My husband works in the mobile game industry and agrees that there is no good reason for such long wait times. The game seems to particularly struggle every time I earn a gold star or take part in the daily challenge. I have never experienced this with any other game. My understanding is that the amount of information exchanged with the server is kept very minimal so I have no idea what takes so long. It’s ruining an otherwise very good game.
Fun game
It's one of those games that looks simple but is actually incredibly deep
Stupid
Apple Arcade games are trash and still feel like p2p like this stupid game the power up are trash and the game don’t give you that much it’s pathetic the special moves on the board are trash all stupid useless bombs why in the hell is the game made like it’s a p2p the levels are stupid and boring stay away
Great but…
I love this game. The animations r super cute and the music is fun. I just have one problem with the game and that is the fact that there aren’t enough moves to do stage 26 and both of my current request need me to clear that stage. I am open to suggestions from other reviewers. Anyway except 4 that tiny thing this game is great and I would totally recommend it to anyone age 6+ 😃😃😃 😩 I also can’t complete stage 40 because the 2 spaces either side of the moving panels don’t refill with animals. Stage 219 is impossible! i hate the logs The balloons are really hard
Unbalanced
The gameplay often feels like pure chance. Sometimes the randomised tiles will cascade and finish the level for you, and other times you’ll have to keep retrying over and over waiting for the right tiles to drop in. It’s not satisfying to play because there’s more luck than skill required on most levels. The scores required for the stars on some levels are just arbitrarily too high and impossible to achieve. Almost feels like the devs didn’t bother to play their own game.
Too much luck, not enough judgement.
I love Zoo Keeper, it & Meteos we’re the first 2 games I bought for the first ever DS. But where that focused more on rapid-fire fun, combos & keeping the tiles dancing, this focuses more on puzzle solving in a set number of moves with a (decent) variety of mechanics. Great visuals, feels as optimised as the DS (except the fact that the accuracy of a stylus VS fingers is worlds apart) and the actual Zoo is a nice idea. But the major problem is it feels like playing Solitaire. Your level of skill comes second to the luck of the tiles. Starting the same level over, and over, and over again in the hope that you get the right tiles in the right places at the right time can become tiresome. Get lucky and a whole stage can almost go autopilot as everything just drops into the right place, but that’s a rarity.
The best game ever

Sigh
Would be no stars but you have to put a star on. 😭😢 The free hoops mini game is impossible The levels rely on nothing but chance and 50% of them are impossible so you WASTE every single one of your boosts that you get like one boost per day or you can use gems to buy them but then you can’t upgrade your animals and your zoo fails ITS A CIRCLE!!!!! Did the developers even finish the game? OR PLAY IT?!?!?! the answer is no You find this out after a bout 2 seconds Graphics are okay Controls are a joke View is impossible to control In all, for 2 seconds a good game. After that it fails so hard. Sorry for being harsh, but so many Apple Arcade games are terrible. Wonderbox being the exception. I so frustrated that i can’t find a good game. So I’m keeping the app in hope(very, very, very, VERY faint hope) That you will make it better Please surprise me and actually do it in a year But my expectations are ground low Thanks for reading this, if this is the one in a hundred that developers actually read and respond to -wanting to be surprised Ps, I just noticed that all the developers thank yous are just Thank you for your time we add new puzzles every month, watch out for updates and new cool stuff! (Lies) If you are reading this actually listen to the stuff in it! Don’t just say oh okay thanks for the feedback we never read. We write feedback for a reason. It’s because there is something wrong with the game. If you dont face the feedback and tack in into account, I see no reason to keep the app. And neither should anyone else. Unless they like being ignored.
Tennis!
I spend the most of my time in this game in the minigame Tiny Tennis. It is very fun to play the minigame. I don’t really care about the gameplay anymore because I thought it was a bit boring. But I mean all in all the game deserves a good 4 star rating from me.
Netter Ansatz, aber…
es hat noch nichts besonderes, was es dich lange spielen lässt. Ein Standard Match 3, zwischendurch bekommt man „Anfragen“. Die Anfragen werden immer weniger und nach etwa 70 Level muss man noch 30 Level spielen, um überhaupt wieder eine Anfrage zu bekommen.
Still plays like a pay to win game
Starts off great, but the later levels rely entirely on luck, even when you know the strategy it wants you to use. You’ll constantly be a few moves short, and even employing the same strategy when you do beat the level, you’ll do it with lots of moves to spare. This makes the later game a case of constantly restarting the level if you don’t get a lucky start. It feels as if it’s still designed like the usual “free to play” mobile game that tries to get you to buy boost items. A bit of a shame for an Apple Arcade service game.
Amazing

Can’t get it to work
Got to where it tells you how to play by matching 3 of the same animals and it totally freezes so you can’t go forward. Shame as it looks like it could be good if you got to play it
AMAZING!!!
I have been playing this game for a couple days now and I love it!! It’s such a fun game! I love completing quests and levels but the only problem is some of the levels are a bit tricky!! Overall amazing! 10/10 would recommend!
Répétitif
Les quêtes sont très peu innovantes, le jeu très répétitif, et au final on s’ennuie très vite… c’est dommage il y a des beaux graphismes
Good but
I like this game but I find it frustratingly difficult to navigate the keeper on an iPad.
