Dinosaur Park – Jurassic Tycoon, a casual idle simulator title from Codigames, sees you as the newly appointed manager of an up-and-coming dinosaur theme park. The app features colorful graphics, an easy-to-use interface, and a gradual curve of difficulty that doesn’t force you into in-app purchases for progression.
In Dinosaur Park, you manage the park guest’s wants and grow your park through park expansion and dinosaur-finding expeditions. Codigames’s dinosaur-themed idle simulator is a cheery romp through park management. The game also focuses on researching the dinosaurs, releasing dinosaurs from captivity, and improving customer experience one upgrade at a time.
Throughout Dinosaur Park you will expand your prehistoric empire through well-paced goals. To begin, your goals work you towards unlocking the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex, and this leads you through the fundamentals of playing the game. This involves capturing a certain amount of dinosaurs, upgrading facilities, and getting more people to visit the park. After which, the title continues ramping up the goals, difficulties, and activities, providing plenty of fun in this endless idle game.
Beautiful Visuals and Well-Designed Interface
Dinosaur Park – Jurassic Tycoon is pleasing to the eye. The visuals are bright and colorful, and the cartoonish dinosaurs are full of personality. Even the interface is pretty to look at, and easy to read.
That isn’t the only positive about the interface, however. The interface is very simple and easy to use. To check on the status of an area in your park or to upgrade it, you tap on the area you want to interact with. Then, that area’s menu is brought up. This keeps the main menu from being overly cluttered and creates a simple user experience.
A Perfectly Paced Difficulty System
One common pitfall found in idle simulators is a sudden change in difficulty. The game will 
begin fairly easily and allow you to level up fast, just to suddenly become incredibly difficult for you to progress in. This encourages you to buy in-app purchases in your game.
Dinosaur Park doesn’t suffer from this pitfall. Each main goal is usually to unlock another rare dinosaur. Each of the sub-goals naturally leads to one another. All the sub-goals also are set up to build off of each other, instead of throwing together difficult and unrelated tasks. There are in-app purchases, of course, but they are not required for you to meet your goals. I played for nearly two weeks straight and had around the same amount of progress each day.
A Relaxing Jurrasic Experience
As with most idle games, Dinosaur Park is a relaxing game. All you need to do is tap around, without having to focus on complicated strategies. Everything from the music to the simple visuals provides a happy and carefree atmosphere. There are no intrusive ads. In fact, you only see them when you choose to watch them in exchange for extra in-game currency.
If you prefer a game with more substance then this might not be the game for you. Your tasks all require the same amount of effort, aside from sometimes waiting around for a task to be finished. However, for idle gaming fans, this is a bright and colorful addition to play and worth checking out on the Apple Store.
