Gameplay
The color palette for ZooMumba was very bright and vibrant so that it gave off a fun and family oriented art style. Much of the interactivity in the game revolved around the upkeep of your animals and zoo, making sure that the animals were well taken care of and that your zoo was kept clean. The mouse was the primary control and could be solely used to navigate through the game. "ZooMumba offers a friendly community and intuitive gameplay, making it a pleasure to play for experienced or inexperienced players alike."
