“A simple game with a deep meaning.” - INSIDE

“Experience the role humans play in the ecosystem, and understand that we cannot take whatever we want from Mother Nature without repercussion. Learn how to cherish valuable resources.” - StoreReview

///// Introduction /////
Desertopia is a relaxing and therapeutic idle simulator that allows you to spend 5 to 10 minutes of your day cultivating a desert island into a vibrant and lively place at your own pace. You are here to care for the island and restore its wildlife. Occasionally you need to pick up floating trash to keep the environment clean. You must also make decisions about events triggered by humans. Do you let a tour group onto the island? Should you build a resort? Every decision will directly affect the development of the island.

///// Features /////
・Picture book-esque art style: Just watching animals roaming on the island is therapeutic.

・Nearly 100 animals: Desertopia has a collection of 87 creatures and 21 terrain types. Also, more than 10 legendary creatures populate the island when certain special conditions are met. Some of them only pop up during festivals and holidays!

・Weather and water evaporation: Water evaporation is a unique gameplay mechanic in Desertopia. You must regularly bring rain to your island to maintain suitable living conditions for your creatures. If the island is not properly cared for, it will revert to a desolate desert.

・Multiple layers of music: Listen to our rich background music in different areas of the island, and hear how it changes and responds to the wildlife in that area.

・Events: Cruises bring various people and events to the island. Each event brings something good and something bad. Your decisions all depend on how you want your island to look.

This is such a beautifully drawn game and has so much potential, but it's impossible to play without constantly turning to ads for doing anything at all. There is no great option to pay either, as the transactions are constant. Disappointed because this could become such a great game.

Its a nice game, and I like it but the only problem is, when i got the Gorilla, lotso f my animals started to starve and i had no idea how to get rid of him. When I removed him from the tile, I still couldn't make any plants grow for food. I was thinking about the hunter camp, but I figured they wouldn't stop at the gorilla. Please respond saying how to fix this.

The graphic is really relaxing, I love the color of the game, all details are very simple but eye-catching. But the development team should add some more things like habitats tutorial, I'm a little bit confusing about how to create new environments,in addition the only way to increase your gems is by paying real money so it's hard to play the game enjoyably, and the last thing... It said I have 2 creatures in my habitat but I just can only see 1 of them. I'm looking forward to your maintenance.

The graphics are gorgeous, the controls are simple, but the gameplay is complex and interesting. It's a great, relaxed game to open once or twice a day. Lack of tutorials or guides (both in game and online), means that you will be figuring everything out on your own, and I rather like that.

Cute. Similar to animal crossing in some ways. Very relaxing.

Great game..also some what educational. I have been playing for some time and I noticed one problem. Some times when l find a creature that has already been found and It doesn't apear😠. I even found a yeti 2 times but still l only have one. that is not the only time it happend, even some foxes, flamingos, seaguls and some other animals. Still a great game.would have given it ten stars if there wasn't a problem.🙂

Not clear on how to achieve goals, gems need to be BOUGHT and the windmill is just plain annoying. Sorry devs but this isn't anxiety or adhd friendly.

If you enjoy watching ads nonstop just to find one tiny animal that you probably already have then this game will be perfect for you!!! Takes wayyyyy too long and the reward is not even close to worth it. I've tried to get into this game many different times because I loveeeee the concept, but the game mechanics aren't where they need to be to make this game amazing.

It's a really cute game. Truly. But I DESPISE that you can't move animals. There are some side missions (if that...) that can cause the environment of an animal to be unsuitable, but... I can't do anything to save the animal!! It's SO FRUSTRATING AND STUPID. What happens to the animal in the area? It dies. It complains about the environment being unsuitable, but then DIES BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE F***ING PROBLEM 😡😡😡

It would be a fun game if you learn it but the sad part is it has an incomplete set of " how to play". Some of the missions cannot be completed because the game isn't updated. Its Mostly just watching ads, even the missions are just watch ads. I watched ads more than I payed the game. (P.S where when and what floating market.)

It's a beautiful game, with a wonderful idea behind it and a great lesson to be learned. The music is soothing and fits the atmosphere of the game, and watching the island change is also very soothing. All in all, its a nice, calming game that shows the fruits of your efforts while forcing you to eventually deal with the consequences of your actions.

This game is so beautiful I love the music, the art and the concept of the game! Thank you very much for making this game. It instantly became my favorite game! Tqvm!

An OK game. Concept is good but gameplay is limited & can get cringy at times. Talks about taking care of the environment which is good but then limits the player to 3 opportunities to recycle objects a day unless you watch ads. Also the environment reverts rather quickly so it's hard to get ahead unless you play every day.

This is a very relaxing and enjoyable game. Changing habitats and collecting different animals is fun. I wish that there were more help or support resources available for this game. Some events don't really make sense and you have to figure things out for yourself most of the time.

Loved it! Until I bought the resort and now I can't get rid of it! I didnt have enough gems when it first came to let me buy the land back and now the price keeps increasing. I dont have enough diamonds to buy it back and I'll never be able to get enough unless I pay money for them. Its infuriating and frustrating. Uninstalling

No objective, slow pace, actions are time-locked and there is a paywall to keep playing without either waiting or clicking repeatedly to no end. Game is simply "tap windmill X 1000" -> "water the ground". Forgivable if the graphics were outstanding but they are mediocre. 2/10 boring game, just my opinion.

Tes. S. Feb 27, 2021     

When I open the app, it just goes onto a black screen and plays music that would usually be playing as the game goes on. I'm not sure if this is just a technical issue to do with my phone but 1 other review said the same thing happened with them... 😕

I first played this game a year ago and I've come back to it recently. I'm glad there's a system for crafting items from trash now. But, I can't seem to find any food waste trash so that I can make a poison detergent. It's making me very sad every time I open my game and see how I ruined an area by letting tourists visit just twice to upgrade the windmill... so I'm extremely reluctant to see if letting more tourists visit will bring food waste... is it impossible to craft pollution detergent?

over all i love the art style and the simplicity. but i think the game needs a little more help in it's tutorial . i had to figure out a lot of things on my own. the guides need to be a little more helpful

Kel. O. Apr 23, 2019     

Could really use a more descriptive guide/help. Can't figure out how you can start recycling stuff and can't find this information anywhere. Edit following response: Great that the devs respond to comments, I am really liking the game art and the concept so far.

This game has a lot of potential to be a popular game BUT it doesn't have any guides on how to start of with things. One of the ships disappear and there's no clue when it's coming back. The game doesn't interact at all and the user has to figure out how to work things out. It got boring for me after a while. Its deleted for now

Ror. D. N. May 19, 2021     

Real cool game but it's real hard to got energy without watching ads hence why I gave it 3 stars. I know that Gamtropy but sometimes it's hard getting the materials to upgrade your windmill and I think it only goes up each time.

eli. h. Apr 2, 2021     

Searching for new animals takes way too long (~20 minutes and you can only search for one at a time), finding things for tasks makes no sense, and when the windmill says you only need 600 energy to upgrade it, even though I had 9,000 energy it told me I didn't have enough.

This is definitely on of my favorite games...always of the first apps I download when I get a new device.
