Most construction management games have two types of currency. Animal Voyage: Island Adventure, however, has three types of currency. Coins and leaves are the primary currency. Coins are mainly used to buy new houses for your animals, while leaves are mostly used to expand into new territory. Crystals are the premium currency in Animal Voyage: Island Adventure. Their most important function is to buy new animals and speed up any task that you’re working on, but there are premium decorations that you can purchase using crystals as well.
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.
