About

ホリダス 化石発掘

Features
Read full description

ホリダスは、岩のかたまりを削って、中に埋まった化石を掘り出す発掘ゲームです。乱暴に削れば化石は欠け、丁寧に削れば美しいまま標本棚に並びます。 ■ 遊びかた ・ハンマー:広い範囲を一気に削れますが、化石に当たると高い確率で欠けます ・チゼル:1マスずつ慎重に削ります。欠ける確率は低めです ・ブラシ:最後の薄い岩だけを剥がせます。化石は絶対に欠けません 大きく削って、近づいたら持ち替える。この使い分けが最高ランクへの近道です。化石に近い岩はうっすら光って知らせてくれます。 ■ 評価とコレクション ・欠けが1つもなければ最高ランクS、以降は完全度に応じてA・B・C ・掘り出した化石は標本棚に登録され、発掘回数・最良ランク・初発掘日が残ります ・全15種の化石(アンモナイト・三葉虫・恐竜の歯や爪・琥珀など) ・発掘地ごとに出土する化石が異なります ■ ホリダス Pro(買い切り) ・標本棚の登録が無制限に(無料版は3種類まで) ・Pro専用の発掘地「荒野の恐竜層」を解放(恐竜の歯・爪・琥珀・羽根・卵はここでのみ出土します) ・標本棚のジオラマ背景 ・広告の非表示 ■ ご利用にあたって 通信は不要で、オフラインでも遊べます。登場する化石とその解説は、実在の古生物をモチーフにした創作であり、学術的な正確性を保証するものではありません。進行状況は端末内にのみ保存され、クラウド同期には対応していません。
