Despite having its support cut indefinetly I still enjoy Tyto Ecology and would recommend people interested in ecology to buy this game considering how relaxing the game is, between the calming music, appealing design (not graphics) and easy to learn, but hard to master gameplay loop. I would recommend this game.

I recently re-download this game on my RoG Ally and it runs very well. I was concerned since the game was no longer supported and doesn't support controllers that I would have issues, but I've found no problems with performance or input controls with my RoG. This game is unique and definitely scatches an itch, reminding me of Viva Pinata a bit. As affordable as it is, I recommend trying it. This game is best having short check-ins and leaving your bio-domes for a year while you're off the game. Even when I think everything is going great, I'll come back to my herbivores leveling my forest and have to re-think my layouts for a balanced ecosystem.

I wish I could give a neutral rating... I actually really loved this game when it came out. I even bought DLC for it! Unfortunately, it's no longer being supported by the developers. The game has some start up issues now. Actually, the only way I can play it now is by turning off my WIFI -- it crashes, otherwise. I've also seen some people say that it's completely unplayable for them. I still love this game, though. There's not many ecosystem simulation games out there quite like Tyto Ecology. If you decide to buy Tyto Ecology and it crashes for you, try turning off your WIFI and see if it works. If it doesn't, definitely get a refund. I hope that the developers come back to this gem, some day.

Great game. Needs patience. Though don't be fooled, it currently doesn't work for mac. Though I got it to work on a windows device! If the game works for your device it's more than worth the price.
