Hey dlgkrwn02! I played for a bit and really liked the bait → sneak → capture loop. One thing I’d focus on is making the actual capture feel more rewarding. A stronger sound/visual effect and a quick species card when you catch an animal could make each capture feel more satisfying.
I also think unlocking a new animal, tool or zoo upgrade right after a few successful catches could give players a nice reason to keep going. Really fun concept overall! 🐾
Hey Senna, the build with your points is up. A catch now holds the field a little longer, throws twice the sparks, tints the screen edges and leans the camera in. Every catch gets a small card with the name, tier, XP and progress, and 3, 5, 8, 12 and 15 catches bring bait, pebbles, research, a trinket and perfume.
The page has a gameplay GIF at the top now, and it turns out the screenshots were hidden by a theme setting the whole time. I only found that because of your comment. If you give it another go, I'd like to know whether the catch lands now. Thanks again 🐾
You’re very welcome! 😊 I’m really glad the feedback helped. I love seeing how the game is evolving, and the changes you made already feel really nice!
Just played it again. I think the catch feels much better now. The extra feedback makes it feel more satisfying, and I really liked the new reward progression too.
1.0.70 is up, and it's aimed at what you said about the tenth catch. Animals no longer all go down the same way: waterside birds only come to bait near the water, tree climbers bolt up a trunk and come back down if you stay still, and animals that charge can be sidestepped, and they're down for a moment when they miss. Each one gets written into the field guide the first time it happens to you.
If you give it another go, I'd like to know whether the stretch after ten catches still drags.
