That was a pretty cool experience! Even though this demo is limited and it does get a bit repetitive, it gives a really good idea of what's coming and definitely leaves me wanting more! The visual style looks awesome, the concept is nice and I really like the different minigames you created for cleaning up or assembling fossils. It really made me going to gather all kinds of nice stuff for my museum and I can fully imagine that in the full game, when you add more variation and perhaps more challenge, this will become a really cool game! Well done! And, wishlisted, obviously :-) 

A few things I want to mention:

  • Fossils are sometimes (partly) exposed which feels a bit weird
  • Deleting an exhibition doesn't really work, it just stays
  • You can only rotate an exhibition when it is green already, while I would expect it would just rotate and prevent you from putting it down when the orientation doesn't fit
  • In the description it says you can't come back to a location when you leave it, but they actually come back all the time
  • There's not much incentive to buy the extra tools, perhaps add a layer of complexity or inaccuracy / crudeness to make it necessary to buy them if you want to keep your bones in a better state?

At least in the browser version, you can delete an exhibit by pressing o :)

Thanks! Totally agree about the repetitiveness. We initially just had a couple of dinosaurs but as we added more it meant more grinding for the fossils.

For the full game, we're planning a bunch more mechanics to collect fossils as well as overhauling the locations to make them more interesting and varied. Making it more interesting/varied is one of our main design goals based on all the feedback from this demo.

We're also going to add a research and upgrade system to improve your tools and unlock different excavation sites.

Thanks for playing and leaving such useful feedback. Really appreciate it!!
