HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (18 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Too many ads27%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game is fun at first but it definitely gets old watching 6 ads just to be disappointed when you get the same creature over and over.
★★★★★ Update: ehhh I liked it at first it because it felt like it wasn't just another money grab using ads as a heavy aspect of the game's progression.
★★★★★ Second, if you want to make noticeable progress on anything, you really have to play a lot of ads, which is annoying.
Worse after an update18%

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • It would be nice if you could last longer in the game without having to watch ads. 2★, May 18, 2022
  • i really wish you wouldnt lose animals over night; its not fair. 3★, May 1, 2020
  • a better warning or indication that you lost one would be nice. 3★, May 1, 2020
  • Please give more information earlier on in the game about the terrain that can be made, recycling, how long tourists stay, how to make the talking cloud either talk less or turn off, and the ability to not have a… 3★, May 26, 2019
  • i just wish there was more added? 5★, May 24, 2019
  • I wish the instructions were more clear. 4★, May 2, 2019
  • When I click a tile to either water it or make it sunny, the gauge doesn't tell me at all if it needs more water or sun??? 4★, May 2, 2019
  • It seems like it needs more and more water, but then it says “this tile is *too* wet,” which I am under the impression that's a bad thing? 4★, May 2, 2019

Nothing stands out.

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Fun, addictive45%

9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ First up I'm a month into the game and and there's almost nothing to do anymore so my suggestion is that you add desert creatures and I now that there's the oasis but it just doesn't feel like a desert other then that…
★★★★★ ive been playing for just a few days but i can already tell that this game is going to take some time, which i love. there isn't a lot of explanation anywhere, like what do repaired stuffed animals do? they are weird.
★★★★★ This game has a fairly simple premise, but I got a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Easy to use15%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game has a fairly simple premise, but I got a lot of enjoyment out of it.
★★★★★ once you get the area how you want it it's really easy to keep up, took me around 20ish days to get 60 animals to unlock the only other place that's locked.
★★★★★ Congratulations to the developers team, it's a game directed to the ambiental preservation and the stimulation to the renewable sources of energy, also being such calm and good for its graphics and amazing soundtrack…
Worth the money10%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ a little something to make the game more worth it since after you get most the animals and such there's really nothing else to work toward
★★★★★ You don't have to spend money to go far in the game and have fun, but it does unlock cool things and is worth it to me.

★★★★★Jul 5, 2024
Can’t unlock new creatures

I have been playing this game for about 40 days and I even bought the coral reef pack. I have searched the same tile 10 times for footprints and no new animals! The game is fun at first but it definitely gets old watching 6 ads just to be disappointed when you get the same creature over and over.

Store description

///// Achievements ///// ・2018 Tokyo Game Show | Official Selection ・2018 Kyoto BitSummit Vol.6 | Official Selection ・2018 Kyoto BitSummit Vol.6 | Indie Megabooth Selection ・2017 IMGA Global | Nominee ・2017 IMGA SEA | Nominee ・App Store Earth Day 2018, 2019, 2020 | Featured “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.” — App Store Feature ///// Introduction ///// Desertopia is a relaxing and therapeutic idle simulator where you can spend just 5–10 minutes a day transforming a barren desert island into a vibrant, thriving habitat — all at your own pace. Your goal is to care for the island and help restore its wildlife. Occasionally, you’ll need to pick up floating trash to keep the environment clean. You’ll also make decisions about events triggered by human activity. Will you allow a tour group to visit the island? Should you build a resort? Every choice you make will directly influence how the island develops. ///// Features ///// ・Storybook-style art: Simply watching the animals roam the island can feel therapeutic on its own. ・100+ animals: Desertopia features over 100 unique creatures and 25+ terrain types. More than 15 legendary species may appear under special conditions — some only during festivals and holidays! ・Weather and water evaporation: Water evaporation is a unique gameplay mechanic. You’ll need to summon rain regularly to maintain livable conditions for your wildlife. If neglected, the island will gradually revert to a barren desert. ・Multi-layered music: Enjoy rich, evolving background music that shifts depending on the area and the animals inhabiting it. ・Events: Cruise ships bring visitors and special events to the island, each with both benefits and drawbacks. How your island evolves is entirely up to you. //////////////////// This game contains in-game offers to purchase digital goods or premium items with real-world currency (or with virtual coins and other in-game currencies purchasable using real-world money), where players do not know in advance which specific items they will receive (e.g., loot boxes, item packs, or mystery rewards).
