Such a Greedy Shame – Animal Voyage: Island Adventure Review

This game is wonderful in concept and graphics, BUT the developer's greed has more than ruined anything this game had going for it. Unless you are willing to shell out (on average) about $10 USD on each of the countless animals this game requires to complete tasks or regions, then I suggest you steer clear. I spent $10 on the game, and when I saw how quickly it disappeared, and how little it helped me progress, I knew I was in trouble. Tried to hang in and see if progression was possible w/o real money, but not so. Also irritating was the length of time it took to build or do anything. In addition, each island you travel to will send ALL of the animals you own for that region to the island, causing "jam ups" at the island entrance - some of the animals can't get past other animals to clear things, and if you happen to be out of food for some of them (even if you don't need them there), it really turns into a mess. I was not able to find a way to limit or choose which animals went to the islands - game would have been much less frustrating if that were possible (because certain animals can clear ALL obstacles, so you really only need one, instead of five tripping over each other). Ended up having to delete app to avoid frustration and temptations to part with even more of my hard earned cash. If you are also susceptible to high pressure "spend real money to complete this quest in time" tactics, then I suggest you RUN, not walk, away from this app... NOW. ?
