    You're right, it's truly a challenge getting to that point. I'm 21 away from 600 (that's 579 if you can't do math) and have every common animal from the first five regions, making it fairly difficult to increase that number.

    I can't even imagine what it'll be like to get to the Jungle. I was able to shoot up through the first five regions in two days, but now it's getting really difficult (which is a good thing).

    And as a side note, if my progress doesn't carry over when the actual game comes out, I'll definitely make going for the rare animals a priority. Sometimes, I would go for the common animals and run out of moves for the rare ones, which is a huge mistake.

    Ok everyone should be added now, including nicodemus and laxbro.

    We're still working on the tuning for the unlocking in the game. Right now the game is a little too easy at the beginning, and a little too hard in the middle (or at least it feels too hard with how easy it starts out). Tuning it just right is going to be tricky though.

    Also, just to be clear, but your progress will NOT be carried over from the beta to the final game, due to technical reasons, so don't get too attached ;)

    Dang so if someone bought the animalopedia would it go over? Anyway, GREAT GAME!!! Didn't give it a thought with such a weird name\trailer, but saw it on twitch stream and looked like my kinda game. AND IT IS! Timers ddont really limit gameplay unless you waist all your money, and was kinda upset when I saw the animalopedia wasn't free through the whole game, but I kinda like it now. Really fun, got the first mistic!!!

    Ok. I'm way too attached., and telling me my progress won't carry over isn't going to stop me from playing. It's like an addiction.

    As I mentioned before, I sprinted to the fifth region in two days, and there were times when my animals were snoozing for multiple hours. I also wasn't sitting on my phone the entire time, and had to do other stuff over the weekend. So I agree that it's a bit fast, but the beginning should be fairly easy. As for the middle, getting to the Jungle is about 5 times as hard as getting to the Savanna. Overall, I've spent 2 days getting to the first 5 regions, and I've spent another two days getting to the 6th region. So I agree that some things need to be changed. I have a few ideas.

    1. The other zoos' offers for the animals are too much. I got offered 49,000 for three polar bears, which is a lot. I also got offered 23,000 for a moose, twice. Maybe two thirds of that would be a fair offer, but those numbers are a bit too much in my opinion.

    2. Also, I like the generosity, but the fact that I'm getting 2 discobux from each search isn't going to encourage me to buy more. I have 40 bux saved up and have probably spent 20, so that's 60 that I've earned all time. I like the generosity though, but at some point that makes the game too easy.

    So these are my two suggestions, of course our ideas may not be on the same path but I just wanted to throw out some thoughts.

    Hey all I haven't been playing as hardcore as some of you as I know I won't be able to keep my save but still enjoy the game.

    Now I've already asked the dev but wondering what you guys that have got further think. With the cost of going on a rescue ever increasing even if you don't catch an animal doesn't it pretty soon make it a waste of time going on some as the price to free an animal when you capture more than 25 is nowhere near the cost of going on the rescue? Plus once I had all I'd still like to keep playing the mini game even if it's just to free/sell

    It's a great game, but I think you should add challenges

    I think that when all you have is Discobux left in the grid it would show you it's location. As of now it just goes back to the zoo if there's no animal left

    Should is misspelled.

    When playing your own music, I think it should automatically mute the in game music.

    Yup, this has been added.

    Good catch on the typo! And yup, there are some issues with the music/audio handling right now, the game should be respecting any other music/podcasts you're playing but it is overriding them right now.

    The animal names at the top need to be moved slightly so that there's a space between the names.

    My Tiddalik completely vanished during one session... unless it was using some sort of ultra high tech camo that is ;)

    I'm loving this game so much. I currently have 350 animals. I didn't found any bug. I think the offers for sell animals need to be more frequent.
