Awesome game! Easy to learn and very enjoyable.
Nice game with a calm vibe! I really love the interaction of aiming the camera and taking a picture, very satisfying! I also like that we are critter 0, great touch đ. Good job!
Thank you!
Good fun and very cosy. I like games I can finish. I named the green guy Tripod.
I think the footsteps are too loud relative to the volume - surprised I didn't scare off the critters.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for the feedback!
Feels good! Nice concept, very creative and I like the cozyness!
Thanks for playing!
Wow, solid fun little game. I want it to be longer! I found some really interesting critters that reminded me of other things so I named them accordingly ;) Cute pixel art, great controls, really nice concept and mechanic doing photography in a top down game like this. Good job!
Thank you for playing and for the kind words
Good job finding all of the critters!
I loved this game, one of my favourites so far. I enjoyed finding, naming and describing the critters, and feel like Tripod Mantis and Dog Mole are their official names now lol. It'd be so interesting to see how other players named and described things - as the developer I might have plugged this into some sort of spreadsheet for my own enjoyment.
You picked some great music to go along with it. Very low-stress vibes... I'm glad nothing on this planet was trying to kill me - though who knows what lies beyond the desert!
The progression of unlocks was really well done. Seeing the shy tree critter and the dark cave and knowing I'd be able to capture those in time.
Well done!
Thanks for the kind words!
Now that you've said it, recording all the names somewhere so we can see what people have been naming them is such an obviously good idea! We'll have to take a look at how we'd do something like that in the future :)
So cute! I love this premise a lot and had a blast. Nice implementation of the top down movement vs the mouse movement for the camera lense. I found myself going back to get better pictures of the critters (and they are like 8x8 little pixel guys lol. Great job on this one.
My only wish was that there were two more walking animations for left and right.
Glad you enjoyed it! I definitely got a bit hung up on taking 'good' pictures myself while testing!
It's a very peaceful game that soothes me:) It's fun to be able to take more pictures with power-ups. The creatures are cute! Nice work:)
We're glad you liked it!

Cool game. My favourite critter is naked dude in the cave
Oh god he wasn't supposed to be naked but he definitely is
lovely small game. need more polish on visual
I loved this so much. creature collecting and weird lil guys. great art style and I like the sound effects. would love to see a map of sorts to help you get back to your ship/find new biomes. well done!
Thank you! Yeah we've thought about that since - a map, or an arrow pointing back to your ship would be good maybe
I really liked the game progression; the new mechanics were explained and implemented so well while you play the game. Love the designs of the creatures and the general vibe of the game :D
Thanks for the kind words!
Such a relaxing game! I love the chill vibes it gives off.
Thanks!
Cool little game. I wish I encounter difficulties to take pictures like for the one in the tree but for other mobs too.
Check our game too ;)
Absolutely agreed!
Thanks for giving it a try
