I had much fun this game, bonus points for including stuff I could learn!
Some notes that I took:
- Sometimes the photo didn't seem to register, it looked like I had my cursor straight on the animal and got a miss. It usually happened with the Entelodon hiding in the background and the smaller similar ones (maybe also Entelodon?) that go sideways in pairs. In the latter case, it looked like their torso registered the "hit", but clicking on their head did not. The flying Eomys was also very hard to capture, but in that case I'm not 100% it wasn't on me.
- Sometimes the sprites of the swimming animals (mainly the Diplocynodon and the Eopelobates) came above the trees in the foreground.
- Beautiful art and very consistent style. I especially loved that the scrolling environment didn't feel very repetitive with enough variations of the environment itself and the placement of the animals.
- I felt like taking a photo of smaller or faster-moving animals could be worth more points from a game perspective, but that's just a personal preference and I understand you had a different design choice.
- I liked the upgrades a lot, especially the recovery (my favourite). At some point, it was confusing to me that it said 50 points for "Add photos" and I had somewhere between 50-100 and couldn't buy it. The next run I realized it was buying 2 at a time, but I saw nothing that indicated that.
Overall, great work, thank you for making this!
