“A simple game with a deep meaning.” - INSIDE

“Experience the role humans play in the ecosystem, and understand that we cannot take whatever we want from Mother Nature without repercussion. Learn how to cherish valuable resources.” - App Store Feature


///// Introduction /////
Desertopia is a relaxing and therapeutic idle simulator that allows you to spend 5 to 10 minutes of your day cultivating a desert island into a vibrant and lively place at your own pace. You are here to care for the island and restore its wildlife. Occasionally you need to pick up floating trash to keep the environment clean. You must also make decisions about events triggered by humans. Do you let a tour group onto the island? Should you build a resort? Every decision will directly affect the development of the island.


///// Features /////
・Picture book-esque art style: Just watching animals roaming on the island is therapeutic.

・100+ animals: Desertopia has a collection of 100+ creatures and 25+ terrain types. Also, more than 15 legendary creatures populate the island when certain special conditions are met. Some of them only pop up during festivals and holidays!

・Weather and water evaporation: Water evaporation is a unique gameplay mechanic in Desertopia. You must regularly bring rain to your island to maintain suitable living conditions for your creatures. If the island is not properly cared for, it will revert to a desolate desert.

・Multiple layers of music: Listen to our rich background music in different areas of the island, and hear how it changes and responds to the wildlife in that area.

・Events: Cruises bring various people and events to the island. Each event brings something good and something bad. Your decisions all depend on how you want your island to look.

Ratings and reviews

The game is extremely cute, but heavily geared towards microtransactions. I would pay for a "full" version, where energy and other items are easier to get through gameplay, but I don't like spending money on in-game items. I understand the point they're trying to make with pollution being permanent, but it's a bad gameplay decision. There should either be a way to remove pollution without paying real money, or tourists should give you a lot more gems. Gorilla killed my yak. I miss you, Yakov.

If you enjoy watching ads nonstop just to find one tiny animal that you probably already have then this game will be perfect for you!!! Takes wayyyyy too long and the reward is not even close to worth it. I've tried to get into this game many different times because I loveeeee the concept, but the game mechanics aren't where they need to be to make this game amazing.

Id give it a 4.5 out of 5 honestly cus it's not perfect, BUT ITS REALLY GOOD. The beautiful and simplistic designs of everything really makes me feel calm. Also the music fits the game. It's so calming and cozy. Playing it on a rainy day is IDEAL. the only problem I have is that the instructions are not clear enough and when I first downloaded it I found myself very confused at what to do. Also they should notify when you need to collect rewards cus I was very confused when trying to find metal.
