About this game

Your grandfather built a dinosaur park and never finished it. What he left you is a few pens, a hatchery, and his breeding ledger: seventeen species, five colours each, and most of the rows still blank.

Pair two dinosaurs of the same kind and wait out the egg. The hatchling takes its colour from its parents, mostly one or the other and now and then a colour neither of them had. The Hatchery shows you the odds for every colour before you pair, so the gamble is yours to plan. Then the hatchling grows into an adult in real time, whether the app is open or not.

A session is short on purpose. Your dinosaurs bank coins where they stand, even while the app is shut, so you open it, tap them, take the takings, and spend them on the next pairing. Eggs take from two minutes to forty depending on the species. Then you close it again.

WHAT THE LEDGER HOLDS

- Seventeen species, from Velociraptor and Stegosaurus up to Tyrannosaurus and Mosasaurus
- Five hand-drawn colours for every species, eighty-five in all
- The odds for each colour shown before you pair, straight from the breeding rules
- Hatchlings that grow into adults on a real clock
- Five enclosures to open, so every dinosaur earns in full on its own ground
- Coins bank while the app is closed, so a two-minute visit pays
- Six letters from your grandfather, each delivered when the park reaches it
- Thirty-five goals, a daily visit, and a name for every dinosaur
- Plays in English, Korean, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese

The common species you buy early. The rare ones cost more, pair slower and grow slower, and every colour of every one has to be bred. Finishing all five colours of a species pays a bonus, and filling the whole ledger is a long, quiet project.

No energy bar. No lives. No timer that punishes you for going to bed. Nothing in the park dies, nothing gets sick, and a pairing never fails. It plays offline, needs no account and no sign-in, and there is no friend list.

Free, with ads. One full-screen ad turns up after some hatches, on the way back to the park, never during play. The rest are optional: a button you press when you want to double what you just collected, hatch an egg early, double the daily visit, or take five gems. Nothing is locked behind watching one. There are no purchases of any kind.
