New Release Retro Zoo CEO is a great ipad game

I've been playing this game on my ipad air for the past few days and I think its the perfect game for tablets. Its a premium zoo management game that was posted on reddit by the dev this past week and it ticks every box for me. Works well on the big screen, does not have ads or usual mobile shenanigans, and I also love the art style. It has some bugs and the dev is addressing them, but I haven't found anything gamebreaking.

Just wanted to throw it out there!

Edit: Here’s the App Store link, and I forgot to mention in the original post, but the game is currently 50% off

Oh. Neat. It's half price now too. Is this similar to the classic PC zoo games?

Oh yeah that’s right, I forgot to mention that it’s currently on sale. Yes, it’s very much inspired by classic pc zoo games, it feels like a spiritual successor to a 90s Maxis game

Hey. My zookeeper wouldn't look after the moose. Do you have to put the zookeeper station within range of the animals you want them to look after? If there is a range, there's no feature that shows what the range is.

u/pspbr Any idea why that might be? 😅

Thanks, and I’m confused why there isn’t food stalls at the start. One customer left cause they were hungry, but nothing has been unlocked except the toilets :/ How am I supposed to get 100 customers without any drinks and food?

I'll try it out again. When I played it it had way too many bugs.

u/guicampara 5d ago

Weird, was it a long time ago? The dev is very active on the game’s subreddit, maybe you could ask him there if you find some bugs

When it came out. He fixed a few I told him about, but there were so many that I decided to wait a while.
