Catchy game that brings with it it's own spark to wildlife
You get put in a simple area, they give you... and you need to make it into a thriving area for wildlife. They give you certain goals you need to accomplish in order to move onto the next wildlife area that you need to work with.
You can create and use rain, wind and fire with your stylus and microphone ( as in, forcus on a certain tree, blow into your microphone... you'll see the tree shake and if you blow hard enough, you'll knock the seeds right off the tree. Which you can take and plant elsewhere in your forest... to make it grow go to the nearest water source pick up some water and drop it over the seed. Instant tree!
Well, not instant, but the start of a tree... you need to give the tree time and water... yes you need to keep watering whatever you have planted or that is there trees, plants, vegitation, bushes... or they will die, and possibly start a fire from the heat which can ultimately ruin your entire forest and kill animals.
So keep them watered, care with them and your forest will thrive with over 15 types of animals.
You'll encounter, crows, squirrels, badgers, skunks, bears, deer, elk, rabbits, foxes, wolves, owls... etc. And each want different things.... wolves aren't going to eat grass...so you should make sure that you have a plethera of little creatures around to keep your wolves and/or foxes, and even owls so that they have enough food to eat.
Old tree's can also be used as a home for bears and other animals and tree stumps big and small can be used for other animal homes... So knock those tree's down at the right time either mid life or full grown and you'll get different homes for different animals.
You can also pet these animals and actually have them eat right from your hand. Clicking on one, lets you know what they want/need and how they feel... if they are happy or sad...
There is a basic happiness level to your forest as well, if you keep it high you'll be able to progress through the game, if it starts to go far far down... chaos sweeps through your wildlife.
I didn't give it a high score simply because there are parts where it seems like your forest just won't thrive or it is very difficult to keep it going, which can get frustrating... however it is a captivating game.
