Game Summary

The Player's objective in this game is to rebuild a large zoo which was abandoned a long time ago. The story progresses in an abandoned land where the zoo used to be.

• As the player responds to requests from visitors and animals, clearing puzzles and missions in the zoo, the zoo will be completed as the story goes.
• Destroy matching color blocks using Shooter, erase blocks of the same color at once, or mix some rockets to create huge explosions. Making more colors means more boosters and more explosions! A thrilling and exciting VR Puzzle experience.
