Rating and Reviews (Monthly)

With its 44 reviews, ZooKeeper might be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it was made in a short amount of time. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
