Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa
Pocketwatch Games
The ultimate ecosystem simulator
Grand Prize Finalist - 2006 Independent Games Festival
Finalist - 2006 Slamdance Guerilla Gamemaker Competition
Create and control lions, elephants, zebras, and more in this unique and deceptively deep strategy game. To succeed you'll have to discover the unique behaviors of each species and build food and water sources to suit them. Plan your ecosystem well so that you can help both predator and prey achieve balance in the wild.
Here's how the game works: You trade flowers to place a new animal in the world. As you build populations of various species, you will be rewarded with jewels. Spend those jewels to build improvements for your animals, such as trees, grasses, or watering holes. Eventually, fulfill your overarching goal to move on to the next level.
You can also select any animal and teach it about far away food sources, or select a predator in order to cull a herd of disruptive herbivores. The strategy is deep, and the replayability endless!
The Animal Kingdom awaits! Your virtual animals behave just like they do in the wild. Lions cull herds of zebras by hunting the young and weak. Elephants take over watering holes, driving off other thirsty animals. Hyenas travel far and wide to find meat, and then bring food back for their helpless young.
Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa is more than just a game, it's the ultimate ecosystem simulator!
Join Dr. Willoughby and Miss Carrilou on their hot-air balloon safari over the wild lands of Africa. In Story Mode, you'll unlock new chapters of their story, all told through animal-themed limericks! In the open-ended Sandbox Mode, you can earn high scores and unlock deleted poems, historical facts and more. If you enjoy witty writing, you will enjoy this game.
