This game looks like the kind of quality we used to get from BF back in the 00's.
Leave aside the concept of a terrible zoo exploiting animals, the graphics are terrible, the sound effects are terrible and the game is simply clunky. The characters don't move around well, the "mini games" are terrible, with awful graphics and if you're in the middle of moving a character when a mini-game pops up, the character goes back to where they were. The characters seem to come all at once, and get annoyed within seconds, and this is from the 2nd level.
I think this is potentially the worse TM game I have seen in a few years.
Simply nothing about it to recommend.

Is thIs is this the quality of TM games we get now? Either a rehash of previous games, over and over or a game like this with poor graphics and just terribly executed.
I don't recommend this game.

Hurrah, a TM game! Oh dear, it's terrible.
The graphics are poor and it plays like some of the TM games from the mid 00's.
The characters are awful, and get very agitated and angry very very quickly, right from the 2nd level in the game. The "mini" games completely ruin the flow of the game and aren't fun, anyway.
Yes, you can upgrade to make the game "easier", but it's too much of a bad game to keep trying.
Nope. Terrible, terrible game. And this is the kind of TM game we are offered now. Sad.

This is enjoyable, IMO, if you pay on "easy", but that's because I get irritated with the noises the characters make when the game starts getting harder and they won't wait more than 3 seconds.
I have no interest in the lovey-dovey story line of Emily and her perfect life, perfect husband and annoying child. Luckily, the child hasn't really make an appearance......... so far.

But the game can be very bizarre at times. For example, the extra levels in the so-called "collectors edition" are pointless and you can't even pass some of them! For example, I was flying through one of the levels, with 3 stars, but the goal was to "give out 12 smoothies". LITERALLY TWO people asked for smoothies. So I tried it again, and the same thing happened. How can you "hand out 12 smoothies" when only two people request them? You can't randomly give them to people, either. How very odd and shows an oversight by the developers.
Do I buy the game? Hmm, don't know yet. It's fun, but repetitive and certainly not worth double the price/tokens for the "collectors edition". I'm getting rather fed up with TM games often being twice the price and not being worth it, especially when there are precious few TM games, anyway, and certainly a lack of really good ones.
I shall play the demo and then decide.

These "Rescue" games are always okay, but okay at best. They essentially are all the same.
They are a click-fest and don't require much thought, and that's okay for the first couple of games, but not when the same concept is repeated.
Yes, the graphics have improved, a couple of tweaks here and there, but it's really the same as the last five games.
Typically, once again, if you like the game, you have to pay literally twice as much/use two tokens, which isn't worth it. I enjoyed my free hour, but I will not pay or use two tokens as there is nothing to recommend the elevated price.

The game is better than the average TM we have nowadays, the graphics are cute and there is enough going on to keep me interested.
However, then the "vermin" came, and they were just a click-fest to kill. The racoons dig holes, unless you click them, which made me have to restart a level, as they clicked in-front of the door to my little people's house, and I couldn't dig it up! How ridiculous!
The crow is more annoying as it picks the characters up, and as it flies off, you have to click on it to drop the character.
Yes, you can use the "bonus", but it's just wasting the beads you collect.
Overall, this time of vermin just irritate me and interrupt the flow of the game, and adds literally nothing.

The game was only *just* a buy, anyway, but with the vermin (which I can only see getting more frequent and annoying as the game goes), this turns into a NO-BUY for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Just your slightly above average collect and build TM game. Nothing special, but then there hasn't been any outstanding TM for a few years now, the developers seem to have given up.
There are some good points, in that it's not too much of a click-fest, there are no trolls (so far) that you have to click quickly at 20 times and get knackered fingers. You build things, collect gems/gold and build other things and buy other things. It's not ridiculously hard like some often are, nor is it easy.

As usual with many of these games, I can't see how it can justify it's "CE" tag, thus charging twice as much, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
Having said all this, I did enjoy my free hour and was disappointed after my hour ended.
If I didn't have any tokens, I would not pay £10 for this game, it's not worth it. However, seen as I have FIVE tokens, due to the lack of anything worthwhile for months, I think I *might* get it.

The graphics are simple, but fine. I don't really pay attention to the storyline and always mute the music.

Well, after months of poor games, finally a good TM game!
TM games are much of a muchness nowadays, with nothing really new, and neither is this. It's building houses and facilities, collecting food, etc, but it does it well. It's not a click-fest, and the graphics are quite good.
You do have to think what to build next and what to collect in order to complete the level, and I can't get 3 stars on most levels, so it is a challenge.

An enjoyable game, and I had 6 tokens to use due to the lack of anything decent, so this was a definite buy.
I recommend this game!

Poor graphics, irritating noises and sound effects.
It's just a click-fest. Takes ages to upgrade buildings, ages to collect what you need.
It's just another poor time management game, as per usual. I don't know why I bother getting mildly excited about a new TM game anymore.

Poor instructions.
No clear objective.
Poor graphics.
I only gave it two stars because it wasn't annoyingly bad.

A reasonable TM game that could been improved with a few tweeks.
Positives:
Pretty, colourful graphics
Enjoyable theme

Negatives:
You can only carry one thing
You can't water or fertilize more than one plant in a row
Slow machines/Slow growth

A few tweeks could make this better:
Being able to buy upgrades or automatic upgrades, so you can do more than one thing or carry more than one thing at once would greatly improve this game. It's annoying that you have to keep going back and forth, over and over, there and back to the watering can/fertilizer/wrapper. It would be much better, and quicker if you could do more than one action at a time, so you can water/fetilize more than one flower at a time.
Being able to start on wrapping another flower/flowers when you pick the other wrapped flowers up. If not, more than one flower wrapper.
Being able to carry all the flowers, if they're ready, to the wrapper.
More flower pots.

How are you supposed to get 5 stars on the customers, when they literally come immediately, and you it's impossible to grow the flowers they want immediately because you
a) Don't know what they want
b) Don't have enough flower pots
c) Don't have time to even guess or anticipate as you don't have the *time* to guess before they come, as they come immediately

It's a great shame, as this game could be improved quite easily. But, as it is, the petty annoyances really slow the game down, and I don't actually know how I could in any way, speed up!
I don't recommend this game.
