Once it's installed it says 'activated' and 'you own this' - WRONG. This had the potential to be a great game, but it's WORSE THAN A FREE TRIAL that gives an hour to play. THIS 'free to own' game let me play 12, yes only 12, levels before saying I needed to become a VIP member -PAY- to access more levels.
At least one person mentioned errors - they're right. Even within these 12 levels -and the full-length version I got 3/4 through on the 'wild' site- has many MANY levels with more than one solution to where you are required to GUESS. When done correctly, there is ALWAYS a NON-guessing solution to these types of puzzles. And if you 'guess' differently than the creator, you're penalized. Which, of course, messes up getting trophies. NOT good.
If this were done as a regular one hour trial and then buy, and ALSO wasn't loaded with errors, it would be a great game.
I won't even consider buying it because of all the errors. I got too frustrated that my clicks should have been right, and frustrated at missing out on trophies. That's why I got fed up and decided to not finish the game. Just wasn't worth it.
Don't even bother installing unless you plan to BUY the game after about 10 minutes, AND don't mind all the errors.
I don't recommend this game.
Help your father manage his safari park to turn it into a successful venture full of tourists eager to watch exotic animals.

Once you master the controls and clicking and get past the first stage or two this game gets much more fun, more interesting and a bit more challenging. Ignore comments about clicking not working - you simply need to be PRECISE. Certain items brighten when you go to grab them (so if not brighter - not in right spot). When watering trees a white circle shows around tree base when in right spot (so if no circle, not quite right spot). GENERALLY click on the clouds just above animals and people rather than lower on the animal or person.
I DO recommend this game for time mgmt folks. Just be precise on clicks, watch which upgrades you do first, try for bigger boats and group tourists with like animals, and use the drinks to keep folks happy in line. I've not bought it yet, but I may, but the level needing the vet was the last level I got thru. I hope some of this helped!! Here's some specifics that may help further…
Animal exhibits start off sparse at first, but as you upgrade more shows up, and extra things show up like a gator in the water in the hippo area - no longer just hippos. You start with hippos and monkeys and can buy more animal exhibits later.
With only 2 boat seats to start, it can be hard not to lose tourists, but you can upgrade boats and add drink stands later to help keep happy standing in line. Can add souvenir stands, a vet, etc. So lots of other upgrades and options.
As for guy popping up when almost out of time (that some here mention#, it's in the corner and no big deal. There's a countdown timer, but popup helps me because I sometimes forget to watch the timer. It's NOT anything worse than games where timer areas start flashing red or do fast beeping.
A few tips… #already got generally click clouds#. _Do the short tutorial. _Having tourists to see same animal gets more money, ALSO makes boat return faster. Boat stops at animals tourists on boat want to see - zooms past others #if 3 all want hippos, 1 stop - if 3 want hippo, monkey and giraffe then 3 stops#. _Game sometimes suggests when to upgrade or add new things. On some it doesn't matter much if you wait a level or two, EXCEPT the Vet. Get him WHEN suggested because you'll need him that level. _When getting bigger boats, is helpful to wait for another tourists if spot still open, especially if can get one to see same animal. _When threats like hyena arrive, handle SOON or can lose animal #easier to spot if look for red triangle#. #nice that your animal get scared off by hyena and not eaten tho) _In addition to bar for tourist happiness, the animals have them as well - watch them so don't have to RUSH to feed them before filling boat, etc. Good Luck!
I recommend this game!

There really IS a strategy to this! Loved it! Not your regular random match 3.

After some reviews I'm surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did. I did not notice anyone mentioning there really IS a strategy to playing. This is NOT a random match 3 game where you just keep randomly making matches until you by chance get the right animals. Focus on the SPECIFIC matches to get you the higher animals - AND try for matches in the right SPOT to make the higher matches. At the left side are options to select animals to trade out with a specific one you need - definitely use those! Because of needing to plan a little and think about what I was doing, this turned out to be one of my favorite match 3s and I'll probably end up buying it.
On the sound, ugh. Like some others here I wish I could turn off music and keep sound. One more ugh, can't click and drag to match - have to do the click-click. But otherwise loved this game.
If you want a THINKING match 3 game, try it! If you prefer random mindless stress-relieving match 3s, keep moving...
