How to Play SimAnimals
Quick start
Follow the first animal request, collect suitable food and place it nearby. Check the information above, then try watering a plant.
Controls
D-pad moves around the map; the stylus selects, picks up and places objects or strokes animals. Draw water to make clouds and use the backpack for storage. Microphone wind can shake seeds from plants.
SimAnimals — About this game
Interact with forest creatures and their environment through a touch-controlled hand. Gather fruit and nuts, move useful objects into the backpack and place food where an animal can reach it. Water drawn from a reservoir can become a stored cloud for watering plants. Begin with one animal's immediate need, then improve its habitat instead of moving everything at once. The upper screen reports on the selected plant or animal, helping you connect a change with its result. Completing needs and environmental goals opens further exploration.
