I just downloaded the game about a week ago and I'm really enjoying it - but I have a concern. I picked up about $400 or so in Zoo Cash as a result of their recent 'sale', but I've burned through that pretty quickly even limiting its use to importing 'mate' animals. So now I'm stuck with about $4 left in Cash, can't afford to import any new animals to further my game and can't use more than half of the building options that only allow for Cash. Hearts, Coins and XP are all available for you to go out and earn in droves, but Zoo Cash is not. You can earn a tiny bit through goals or by waiting for some to fall out of the sky, but those opportunities are few and far between...
All of this has left me with a game that is becoming increasingly unplayable unless I put more REAL money into it. I would hate to think that it was designed that way - I like having the option certinaly, but the game's playability should not be incumbent on constantly dumping more money into it. Am I missing some way to earn Cash? I see conversions in the store but nothing that will let you, say exchange coins for cash, only the other way around.
Please help - I'm level 16/17 right now and I'm really enjoying the diversion this game offers, but I would rather commit my time elsewhere if there is no real hope for things to get better...
