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!

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!
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.
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:)
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!
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
