I loved this a lot! It was really fun to collect the specimens. I love the bugs! The museum is wonderful and I thought the names of the 'cinema and games' set were very funny. The specimens look great and many of them are spectacular! That worm!

I played on 4x and it was a satisfying speed. The huge specimens took a long time but well, they're huge so, of course. The game  only got a little tedious towards the end when I only had a single dinosaur to go and it took a LOT of waiting for it to come up while I doubled up on the ones I had or did other things and kept an eye on the screen. I did spend lots of $$ on speeding up the turnover rate but even then it took a long time. I'm not sure if there should be more specimens coming up for the later exhibits once the earlier ones are complete, and not endless zombies and ghouls. I do like, though, that some are less frequent, and some rare. It feels good when I get them.

I think maybe the money is a bit unbalanced. I enjoyed having a lot of it but I wonder if perhaps the later stands in the museum and the specimens are underpriced. I had a lot to spend.

Could there be a label on the exhibits? I got mixed up with what I already had and what I had to get as the exhibits are skeletons and not immediately recognisable. I had to rely on the visitor comments.

I like the idea someone else mentioned of being able to change the order of the cold storage and remove some of the ones I bought.

I completed all the rooms in the end but it just keeps going. Is there an end or finale? It looks like the last room has room for more. Uncle should spruce himself up more with all the money I bring in for him! What a scruff!

Thanks for making this available to play in the browser. It was a lot of fun.

Thanks a lot for your comment; I'm really glad you like the game. I released a massive update yesterday—so big that I can't even remember if it fixes the issue you mentioned (though I think it does); all the skeletons and display stands now use the same naming convention so you can see exactly what's needed. I do recommend refreshing the page, though, as there are some new mechanics I hope you'll enjoy. The next update will likely focus on adding more specimens and rooms. Thanks again for the feedback.

I played my game with the updates. Have you sped it up? The bugs whipped around before I could even look at them. Even the unicorn! I like watching them. It's the best part. I don't mind the time they take. Sorry but I prefer when it was slow. I thought you had it exactly right with the 4x. Now it's so fast on 1x I can't get there before it's gone. Maybe it's just my game.

 I like the cleaning because you get to see them close up. Not sure why it needs it, but fine. It disappeared before I was finished, unfortunately. Everything just so fast!  I love the atlas! That's interesting to look at. I hope it's blank at the start and each new specimen adds to it. I've got everything already so I can't tell.

Looking forward to your progress.

One small point - you say the bite upgrade the bugs remove 'pixels', in real life they do, but for emersion purposes, wouldn't it be more fitting for the narrative to be told they remove more soft tissue?

Well, I'm sorry to say that this is a problem caused by the improvements to the skeleton-washing faucet. It's already been fixed, but I haven't been able to get it to reset in saved games. I'm sorry to say that this is a bug that can't be fixed at the moment. I like your idea of referring to tissue or flesh instead of pixels—it’s not very immersive. You might have to start from scratch to fix that speed issue with the beetles; I’m really sorry about that. But anyway, the truth is that I’m overhauling the game quite a bit, and with the next update, you’ll have to start from scratch. I’m creating a pretty interesting mechanic—a sort of reverse tower defense, as you’ll see—and more strategic management in the exhibition halls. Let’s just say the economic model is going to be different.

Well, no—wait, I'm realizing they're still eating way too much even though the game has just started. Let me take a closer look before you restart your game.

I've updated the game to provide more food for the beetles, and I've increased the game speed by a factor of 8 for anyone who wants it to go faster.
