Pocket Gamer - Animal Voyage: Island Adventure is a puzzler crossed with a freemium builder... with a little adventuring thrown in for good measure.
If I were asked to come up with one really big criticism of the game, then I'd have to admit that there's a little too much waiting about for my liking here.
This is a freemium game review, in which we give our impressions immediately after booting a game up, again after three days, and finally after seven days. That's what the strange sub-headings are all about. Click on the links to jump straight to day three or day seven.
Animal Voyage: Island Adventure puts you in charge of an island full of a bunch of cute little animals, all of whom are trying to rescue other cute little animals, so naturally, it’s your task to help them get there. Each animal has an amount of energy that can be used either to play match-3 games, or to go on voyages and complete tasks, such as chopping down grass, trees, or rocks. Food can be grown at your farm area, but you only start off with one farm plot which can grow blueberries, so that takes awhile.
An earthquake has devastated the land, and it is up to you to save your animal friends from danger, and, thankfully, they are also more than willing to lend a helping hand. Part-community building game and part-puzzle game, Animal Voyage is sure to enchant players young and old alike with its cutely drawn animals, although there’s still a lot of challenges to be found within the game. Save your furry pals and get set for an adventure unlike no other with Animal Voyage, and the first step is to read this very comprehensive guide to get you through the basics of the game.
