About
Preserve is a puzzle nature-building game that takes players on a journey into a harmonious ecosystem. The objective is to foster and sustain a thriving and diverse biomes, where each component coexists in a symbiotic harmony. By utilizing strategic thinking and a keen eye for balance, players are granted the power to position a wide array of plants and animals, curating an environment that caters to their preferences and aspirations.

In Preserve, you can expand the map not only horizontally, but you also posses an ability to stack layers of nature, forming a vertical network of interconnected habitats.

From alpine forests and savannas to carribean reefs, each biome will have its own unique set of plants, animals, and environmental challenges to discover and overcome.

Besides regular harmony and puzzle game modes, creative mode lets you build the land without limitations and photo mode allows you to capture and share your creations at the end of each session.

Nothing can beautify your map more than natural wonders like the snowy Alps, lavender fields or redwood forests, which you can acquire thanks to a unique Card Upcycle System

This is a good game when it works but unfortunately I would not recommend it to other players at this time since it has crashed my PC twice now (leading to Windows rebooting itself) and each time this happens you lose some progress.
this game is nice
拼地块,造生态的小游戏,休闲放松一下还不错,不适合一直玩
Didn't expect to love this game as much as I did. It's just challenging enough where it doesn't feel boringly easy but also isn't insanely hard. It will take a couple attempts to get gold on a level (at least for me it did) but it's still fun, even when you fail a run. There's also a big enough difference between the different worlds where it feels like a new challenge and not just the same 3 levels you played in the last world. Definitely recommend if you like this genre and I'd say the time I got out of it justifies the price
Atmosphärisches und entspanntes Puzzlespiel mit toller Grafik und Musik.
calming, simple game that is fun to wind down after a long day :) Fun for all day if you want something relaxing without thinking too much.
Preserve is a relaxing yet surprisingly strategic puzzle game developed by Bitmap Galaxy and published by Grindstone. Rather than placing players in charge of a bustling city or a complex economic system, the game focuses on something far more peaceful: creating thriving natural habitats. Its central objective revolves around building balanced ecosystems by carefully positioning plants, animals, and terrain pieces across a growing landscape. The result is a refreshing experience that blends thoughtful planning with a calm, meditative atmosphere. At its core, Preserve turns environmental design into a rewarding puzzle. Every card and tile serves a purpose, and success depends on understanding how different elements of nature interact with one another. Certain animals flourish near specific vegetation, while particular terrain combinations can create opportunities for higher scores and more diverse habitats. The game gradually teaches these relationships through play, making progression feel natural and satisfying. What begins as a simple placement exercise evolves into a deeper challenge where efficient planning and long-term thinking become essential. One of the game's most appealing qualities is its presentation. The landscapes are colorful, vibrant, and full of charm, transforming each completed ecosystem into something that resembles a miniature living diorama. Watching forests spread, animals settle into their ideal environments, and entire habitats come together provides a constant sense of accomplishment. The visual design avoids unnecessary clutter, allowing players to appreciate the beauty of the environments they create. Combined with a soothing soundtrack and gentle pacing, Preserve delivers an atmosphere that encourages relaxation without sacrificing engagement. The game also succeeds by giving players room for creativity. While there are scoring systems and optimization goals to pursue, there is no single correct way to build a thriving ecosystem. Players can experiment with different arrangements, design aesthetically pleasing landscapes, or focus on maximizing biodiversity. This flexibility helps the experience remain enjoyable over long sessions, as each new map presents opportunities to approach challenges from a different perspective. The satisfaction of creating a balanced and visually appealing environment becomes just as rewarding as achieving a high score. Another strength lies in the variety of biomes and environmental elements available throughout the game. As players progress, they unlock new terrain types, species, and mechanics that expand the possibilities for ecosystem design. These additions keep the gameplay from becoming stagnant and encourage continual experimentation. Discovering how newly introduced components interact with existing systems creates a steady sense of progression and keeps players invested in refining their strategies. Preserve's commitment to a tranquil experience may not appeal to everyone. Players seeking fast-paced action, dramatic storytelling, or highly detailed management systems may find the gameplay loop too gentle. Much of the challenge revolves around careful placement and ecological planning, which can feel repetitive for those who prefer constant variety. However, this deliberate pacing is also one of the game's defining strengths. It allows players to enjoy the process of creation without feeling pressured by time limits or overwhelming complexity. What ultimately makes Preserve memorable is its ability to transform nature itself into the foundation of an engaging puzzle game. Its mechanics encourage players to think about harmony, balance, and the relationships between living things, all while providing a relaxing environment in which to experiment and create. The combination of strategic depth, visual beauty, and calming presentation gives the game a distinctive identity that stands apart from many other titles in the genre. For players who enjoy thoughtful puzzle design, creative freedom, and peaceful gameplay, Preserve offers a rewarding and refreshing experience. It successfully combines environmental themes with satisfying strategic mechanics, resulting in a game that is both intellectually engaging and emotionally relaxing. While its slower pace may not suit every audience, those willing to embrace its tranquil approach will discover a charming and carefully crafted journey through the art of building thriving ecosystems.
