About The Star Zoo
The Star Zoo is a point and click space escape game set on an old interplanetary zoo ship, with the hatch already sealed behind you. A calm voice announces an automatic launch in one hour, and glowing mushroom lamps light the room while the portholes show a violet alien sky.
You'll crack a switch lock, work out what a jelly creature wants, and get a little robot running again so you can read the ship's route and figure out where you are. It's a hard room, roughly 35 minutes of play, with mouse or touch controls and no keyboard needed. Good for players who like a long, hand painted retro sci-fi puzzle to pick apart piece by piece.
How to play
- Click or tap around the room to take a closer look. Pick up anything that might be useful.
- Select an item from your inventory, then try it where you think it belongs.
- Keep an eye out for numbers, symbols and patterns. They may help you open a lock elsewhere.
Controls: Mouse or touch. No keyboard needed.
