Really loved it, I tried soooooooooooo many times but every time I was like 140$ or something ahhhhhhh, loved the mood it was really really fun, some little tweaks might reward players for better photos but very good !
I haven't beaten it, but probably could if I tried again. It's a fun take on the theme, and the audio works well too (didn't realize the length of the song was set to match the length of the game, but I had sat and listened to the song to decide how to rate the game in the audio category, and it was nice).
This one has lots of potential. Interesting interactions could be added, like animals that flee/fight on sight, scaring different packs to group them and take a photo that's worth more, etc. (please correct me if those are already in the game). The visuals and the music are very calming and charming, the title is intriguing and it made me check it out. Great job!
Fun game :D The music is so tropical and bossanova-ish, I love it.
It really feels your in a safari vacationing. Good atmosphere builted.
Good job!
I'd love to know what do you think of my game!
Such a nice atmosphere. I really felt like I had a mini vacation! And in these times it was much needed :)
It was delightful and wholesome. I loved that I missed my flight (who wants to go back right now anyway!). The animals are cute and the color palette helps.
I couldn't help but wish to see the photos I took as the credits rolled. I thought maybe, just maybe, it would happen if I could find the where the flight was but I couldn't. I even bought the flight back home!

Can i just say this is such a wacky yet clever idea! very cute art and it was also a fun take on the theme. Great work!
It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!
Seeing the plane's shadow passing by when time was up gave me a good chuckle. I enjoyed it! I freaking loved the main menu screen.
