Super Zoo Story: A Charming Pixel-Art Zoo RPG Bringing Management, Exploration, and Town Life Together

Super Zoo Story is shaping up to be one of the most unique pixel-art RPGs on the horizon, blending zoo management with farming, dungeon exploration, and a full town life simulation. Developed by PixelGames4You and published by Crytivo, the game has been steadily gaining attention following its successful Kickstarter campaign. With a planned 2025 release and launches expected across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, Super Zoo Story is poised to appeal to fans of cozy sims, creature collecting, and classic farming RPGs.

Build, Manage, and Personalize Your Dream Zoo

At its core, Super Zoo Story is all about bringing your ideal zoo to life. Players can build and customize enclosures, pathways, fences, and decorative features to design a thriving animal park. Whether you prefer a naturalistic wildlife sanctuary or a colorful, theme-park-style layout, the robust building system allows for extensive creativity.

But building is only half the fun—running the zoo is where the game’s heart lies. Each animal requires proper care and attention, and maintaining their happiness is key to growing your park. From daily feedings to habitat improvements, players will manage the full range of zoo operations.

One of the standout features is the ability to revive extinct species, including dinosaurs. By collecting fossils and advancing technology, players can bring prehistoric creatures back to life, giving their zoo a unique—and prehistoric—edge.

Beyond the Zoo: Farming, Exploring, and Restoring the Town

Super Zoo Story goes far beyond the boundaries of traditional management games. A full farming system lets players grow crops, raise plants, and harvest ingredients used throughout daily life in the town.

Exploration also plays a major role. Dungeons scattered around the island offer rare items, fossils, and materials needed to restore important locations such as the museum and aquarium. These expeditions introduce an adventurous layer reminiscent of classic RPG dungeon crawling.

A Living Town With Relationships and Family

The town surrounding your zoo is filled with colorful residents, each with their own personalities, stories, and daily routines. Players can befriend locals, build relationships, and even start a family—blending the life-sim elements of games like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon with zoo management.

Character and home customization options allow players to shape their entire life on the island, not just the zoo they operate.

Multiplayer Co-Op: Build Together, Thrive Together

For players who enjoy collaborative gameplay, Super Zoo Story includes a multiplayer co-op mode that lets friends work together to manage the zoo. From caring for animals to expanding new enclosures, the mode allows for shared creativity and teamwork.

Development, Platforms, and Release

  • Developer: PixelGames4You
  • Publisher: Crytivo
  • Funding: Successfully raised through Kickstarter
  • Planned Release: 2025
  • Platforms: PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC

Players across multiple systems will be able to experience the game’s cozy charm once it launches.

Early Reception and Criticism

Though excitement for Super Zoo Story is high, the game has faced some criticism—primarily regarding its art style, which some players say resembles Stardew Valley. The developers have acknowledged these comparisons, clarifying that the game takes inspiration from beloved titles like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon while bringing its own unique blend of zoo management and family-friendly RPG exploration.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory. Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...
