Let me correct that right now: by spending Discobux, you can start a Disco Party from the zoo’s front gate. I’ve somehow made it this far without mentioning why it’s called Disco Zoo. Fortunately the guests also help out by dropping random tips that can range from one to 1000 coins, and less often, some Discobux. Every different environment (Farm, Outback, Savanna, Northern, Polar, Jungle and Jurassic) requires a new type of aircraft, and they’re pretty expensive. Other zoos will make offers to buy your animals, which is helpful when saving up for the next addition to your hangar. Occasionally, animals will escape into other pens for you to locate doing so gets you either coins or Discobux. It also just packs more animals into the exhibit, so don’t tell PETA. For every five of the same animal rescued, that exhibit will level up for increased coin yield and more time before the next sleep. You get a countdown timer to let you know when they’ll need to sleep next, and you’ll get push notifications as well if you want to go that route, but it only takes a tap to wake them and get them earning again. Every animal exhibit earns a certain amount of coins per minute, but only while the animals are awake. That keeps things acceptably balanced but also leads to some pacing issues at times.įortunately, there are a few things to keep you occupied within the zoo itself. That means while you might be earning more coins all the time, it’s also getting more expensive to go on rescue missions. You can pony up more coins and start a brand new rescue game, or you can simply head back to the zoo.Īs with any of NimbleBit’s sims, there’s a direct correlation to how far you have advanced and how expensive things get. You can watch a 15-second ad for another mobile game (only so many times per day though) or pay one unit of Discobux, the game’s premium currency, to get five more guesses.
When you run out of guesses, you have several options. It’s part luck and part skill, as memorizing the patterns - the pig, for instance, is in a two-by-two square - can help you find the other parts and possibly figure out where other animals might be on the grid. Each space can have part of an animal pattern, coins or nothing, and each animal pattern has either three or four spaces to complete. You pay your coins and get a limited number of spaces to uncover on the grid. Rescuing animals means playing a Memory-type game on a five-by-five grid. The difference between this game, and, say, Tiny Death Star is that there’s actually a game within the game. Coins generated by your animals allow you to go on more rescue missions, and you can probably see how this all just feeds back on itself.
The more animals you rescue and take in, the more guests want to visit your zoo. You’re in charge of a zoo and looking to expand from simple farm animals like pigs and cows to more exotic inhabitants from different environments. Thanks to Milkbag Games, we can cross that one off the list with Disco Zoo, a light sim mixed with a bit of strategy and occasional random doses of disco. NimbleBit has pretty much mastered the art of making things tiny and pixelated for its mobile sim games, but one place the studio hadn’t visited until recently is the zoo.
