Zoo 2: Animal Park is provided by users GmbH. It is a zoo management type of game, similar to a park tycoon. This mobile game is featured a strong animal theme and it creates a simulated zoo keeper experience. Players can download the game for free on Google Play and App Store with further in-game purchase options. The general goal of the game is to expand your zoo by including more new animals and adding more enclosures and land properties. Zoo expansion is achieved through leveling-ups which is fueled by EXP. The gameplay is single player based yet it is easy to connect and make friends with other players (zoo keepers) and stay interactive. In fact, a healthy interaction with other players is necessary in certain cases and quests where players need to support each other to finish the tasks. For example, to find out an escaped animal or lost children. In order to earn EXP, the game progress-making reward, players can do a number of things. The most obvious EXP source comes from quest completions, which usually reward players with in-game currencies and EXP. Other tasks especially the ones related to animals’ wellbeing, including regular feedings and cleaning, also boost up the EXP as those animals are taken good care of. What’s more, keeping animals entertained is also important and generates good EXP rewards. Besides, players should prioritize the inclusion of new animals as a major aim in this game whose theme is to run a zoo after all. Adding the animal collection can also help generate more EXP. Once players have incoming EXP points, they can check the required EXP numbers for certain level-ups. Apart from this, players also need to earn in-game currencies to purchase more items such as decorations, new animals, zoo facilities to help expand. Such currencies can be gained mainly by attracting more visitors to come to visit the zoo. This is the most obviously profitable way to manage the zoo. Players can check how many popularity points they still need to attract the attention of a new customer. There is also another thing that is crucial but some players barely pay any attention to. During the gameplay, players will constantly build more facilities in the zoo, and they should plan the layout of those buildings and sections before they locate those functions. For example, well distributed trash bins and restrooms can be crucial in enhancing visitor experience. And closely arranged animal enclosures can help save spaces and make animal care easier. Another game reward players need to keep an eye on is the puzzle piece. Those prices are scattered around the game and players can collect them from rewards, daily prize spinning and friends. When a set of puzzle pieces are collected, players can use those to unlock new things. 

Game Review

Zoo 2 is a relaxing zoo-management game with flexible and diverse contents for players to enjoy. It might be a bit confusing for new players to take a grip on the gameplay at the beginning because the tasks can be somewhat tedious. There are many things players can do yet to play the game efficiently, they should usually stick with the quests. This helps players to stay on track and get useful game rewards that are important later in the game. However, players can also soon find out that the rewards cannot catch up the leveling up demands of the game, which is a common situation for many casual games that are designed to encourage in-app purchase in the higher levels.
