Great concept and continues to improve

Really enjoying the design and focus on exploring. Makes my hikes, dog walks, and disc golf rounds much more interesting now.

Awesome, thank you. More updates & improvements coming every few days! We also have a discord, you can find it in the app about page (bot of main Menu).

My dream game!

This is literally my dream game. I’ve been thinking about an app like this for years! My wife was sick of me talking about how much ive wanted an app like this and now its real! It has a great potential and ill pay whatever it takes to make this app reach it!

Thank you! Please feel free to send me any feedback / ideas, via support email (found on the app landing page) or the Discord, in the app about page (bottom of main Menu).

This game needs a lot before it’s good.

I love the concept, but it doesn’t work. Going to green spaces/parks generally means that there is little to no cell phone service. Being able to catch things in urban environments while against the original concept of the game would allow for a larger player base.

You can easily spoof animals by taking pictures of pictures of animals. I got a bald eagle that way.

This game also makes my phone run hot and the battery depletes faster while playing. I don’t know what is so demanding about it, but it needs to be looked at.

Hey, thanks for the feedback, sorry for the issues. I have now removed capture restrictions! Please try the game again and let me know what you think, you can message me on Reddit in r/Animalis or use the support email. I have also added blocks for people taking pictures of computer screens etc. As well as this, you have to physically go into nature to catch higher level animals. And animals not native to your geographic area are also blocked. I have also improved battery efficiency, by I would guess about 20-30%. Please let me know if you have any feedback! Thanks

Great concept, execution improving

Recent updates have improved the playability which is great. It’s a lot of fun to go to a local park and take some pictures of animals and see their sprites etc.

I will say that the animal identification can sometimes be off, and once or twice I ended up with a species not typically found in the area.

Hey, sorry for the issues. You are correct, there have been many, I have now done a lot of work over the last few weeks to upgrade the servers and fix all errors that came up. I hope you try it again, there are many new features and the game has been updated to be playable regardless of where you are. Device transfer is now implemented. Have you experienced any players cheating/spoofing? So far, I have not found any, but have already implemented features to reduce this. Please send me a message if you have any questions or useful information. Not sure what I can share here, but you can post / message in r/Animalis if you have Reddit or use the support email from the app store, it's in the Privacy policy. I believe I've solved every issue that you mentioned, but let me know if any others!
