Simplz: Zoo

If you have despaired to find some challenging match-three game, perhaps Simplz: Zoo, from Reflexive Entertainment, will amaze you for a while or even become your favorite title.

To tell you the truth, it is a bit of trouble to define the genre of Simplz: Zoo as there you can see not only match-three portions but simulation part, too. Luckily, this fact does not spoil the game and just the other way makes it more interesting. When you deal with item-swapping, as usual you have to marshal dozens of different objects on the proper way. Do not think that it is as easy as a pie! There are numerous obstacles like locked tiles in place by chains, which should be broken. To make the gameplay more dynamic you are able to choose time limitation.

Viewing Simplz: Zoo from a time management game it is also quite fine and intriguing. You are to create your Zoo filling it with various places of attractions, all modern facilities and other objects to please your visitors. A great advantage of this issue is that you are free in replacing and removing your buildings so you can redesign it at any moment.

Thanks to an easy-going interface of Simplz: Zoo, it takes just a few seconds to become used to the game. If there’s anything to criticize it might be music which becomes rather monotones over the course of several hours. Furthermore, some animals seem too motionless like a museum piece.

Overall, this game shows a good balance of two absolute diverse genres. Surely, it cranks up the excitement and fun of building your own zoo. Do not miss out on it!
